Template:EOL/doc

Usage

1. Search on eol.org for the subject you want.
2. Click on the correct link to go to the subject's page.
3. The page URL should look like https://www.eol.org/pages/#######, where "#######" indicates a number.
4. Copy ONLY that number
5. Add that number to the corresponding Wikidata item, using Encyclopedia of Life ID (P830).
6. Add to the external links section the text:

* {{EOL}}

Alternatively:

Add to the external links section the text:

* {{EOL|id|label}}

where "id" is the number you've copied, and "label" is the full title of the EOL article, for example: Pogonomyrmex anergismus

Example

1. Search for Nicrophorus americanus on eol.org. You'll get to this page: https://www.eol.org/pages/1044544
2. Copy "1044544" and add this number as the first parameter, then copy "Nicrophorus americanus" and add it as the second parameter:

{{EOL|1044544|''Nicrophorus americanus''}}

The result on the page Nicrophorus americanus is:

"Nicrophorus americanus" at the Encyclopedia of Life

Typically this is a list item in the external links section (even if there is only one link), so you should add "*" in front: * {{EOL|1044544|''Nicrophorus americanus''}}
