This is a documentation subpage for Template:AlgaeBase taxon.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

Usage change

{{AlgaeBase taxon|name=Taxon name|id=#####}}

The name parameter should include the taxon name.
The id parameter should be the number at the end of the url, often a 4 or 5 digit number. (e.g. http://www.algaebase.org/browse/taxonomy/detail/?taxonid=4541 - the highlighted number, 4541, would be put into the id field if you wanted to include a link to the AlgaeBase page on Volvocales).

For example:

{{AlgaeBase taxon|name=Volvocales|id=4541}}

Important: AlgaeBase uses different urls for genera, species, and higher taxa. Please see the following templates for use in genera and species:
