Module:TaxonItalics (talk⧼dot-separator⧽⧼dot-separator⧽Template:History⧼dot-separator⧽links⧼dot-separator⧽doc⧼dot-separator⧽subpages⧼dot-separator⧽sandbox⧼dot-separator⧽testcases)
 | This Lua module is used on approximately 523,000 pages. To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the module's /sandbox or /testcases subpages. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. Transclusion count updated automatically (see documentation). |
Purpose
The module supports the correct italicization of scientific names. Botanical (ICNafp) names may contain "connecting terms"; these must not be italicized. The hybrid symbol, ×, should also not be italicized. The module optionally wikilinks and abbreviates italicized names.
For non-virus taxa, italics are used at the rank of genus or below. The module does not decide whether a scientific name should be italicized. Use {{Is italic taxon}} for this purpose.
Usage
- {{#invoke:TaxonItalics|main|TAXON_NAME}} – italicizes a taxon name
- {{#invoke:TaxonItalics|main|TAXON_NAME|linked=yes}} – italicizes a taxon name, wikilinking the italicized output to the unchanged input
- {{#invoke:TaxonItalics|main|TAXON_NAME|abbreviated=yes}} – italicizes a taxon name, abbreviating all but the last part to the first letter
It can also be used via {{Taxon italics}}.
Examples
Just italicized
- Connecting terms
- Pinus subg. Pinus → Pinus subg. Pinus
- P. subgenus Pinus → P. subg. Pinus
- P. subsect. Pinaster → P. subsect. Pinaster
- Acer tataricum subsp. ginnala → Acer tataricum subsp. ginnala
- Aster ericoides var. ericoides → Aster ericoides var. ericoides
- A. ericoides varietas ericoides → A. ericoides var. ericoides
- A. e. subvar. ericoides → A. e. subvar. ericoides
Botanical names may contain only one infraspecific epithet; a string like "Fragaria vesca subsp. vesca f. semperflorens" is a classification, not a name, and is not handled by the module.
- Hybrid symbols
- Elaeagnus × submacrophylla → Elaeagnus × submacrophylla
- ×Beallara → ×Beallara
- × Beallara → × Beallara
- {{hybrid}}Beallara → Template:HybridBeallara
Linked
Using |linked=yes
- Populus sect. Aigeiros → Populus sect. Aigeiros
- Elaeagnus × submacrophylla → Elaeagnus × submacrophylla
Abbreviated
Using |abbreviated=yes
- Populus sect. Aigeiros → P. sect. Aigeiros
- Acer tataricum subsp. ginnala → A. t. subsp. ginnala
- [also linked] × Sorbaronia mitschurinii → × S. mitschurinii
- [also linked] Elaeagnus × submacrophylla → E. × submacrophylla
- Elaeagnus ×submacrophylla → E. ×submacrophylla
- Elaeagnus {{hybrid}} submacrophylla → E. [. submacrophylla
For even more examples, see the testcases.
