Template:IPNI/doc

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

Usage change

This template produces citations to the International Plant Names Index (IPNI). To produce a reference, enclose a use of the template in ref tags.

Citation for a single taxon change

{{IPNI |id=77086113-1 |taxon=Rhodanthemum atlanticum subsp. gelidum |authority=(Maire) Dobignard |accessdate=2019-07-21}} →
"Rhodanthemum atlanticum subsp. gelidum (Maire) Dobignard". International Plant Names Index (IPNI). Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. Retrieved 2019-07-21.

The authority may be omitted:

{{IPNI |id=77086113-1 |taxon=Rhodanthemum atlanticum subsp. gelidum |accessdate=2019-07-21}} →
"Rhodanthemum atlanticum subsp. gelidum". International Plant Names Index (IPNI). Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. Retrieved 2019-07-21.

If the taxon name is omitted, a dummy title will be generated for the citation, which is undesirable:

{{IPNI |id=77086113-1 |accessdate=2019-07-21}} →
"Plant name details". International Plant Names Index (IPNI). Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. Retrieved 2019-07-21.

Note: if the template is used on a page with a link to a Wikidata item using the same taxon name, then the ID may be omitted and will be picked up from Wikidata. This is not recommended as it depends on the setup in Wikidata, which may change; pages in the English Wikipedia are regularly linked to Wikidata items with different taxon names because of Wikidata limitations.

Citation for an author change

{{IPNI |id=22405-1 |author=Carl Linnaeus |accessdate=2019-07-21}} →
"Carl Linnaeus". International Plant Names Index (IPNI). Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. Retrieved 2019-07-21.

Citation for an author abbreviation change

{{IPNI |abbrev=L.f. |accessdate=2019-07-21}} →
