Template:Make cite IUCN/doc

This template is an editor's aid. On each species page of the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, IUCN provides an example citation. This template takes that example citation as a single parameter value and returns a {{cite IUCN}} template.

Usage

To use this template

1. at an IUCN Red List species page, highlight and copy the example citation
2. at the en.wiki article write:

   {{make cite IUCN|}}

3. paste the IUCN example citation into the above between | and }}
4. click Publish changes; the raw template shown in Show preview becomes active

Usually within an hour, AnomieBOT will substitute the {{make cite IUCN}} with the matching {{cite IUCN}} template.

Example

At IUCN, the page for Smooth Arizona Cypress has this example citation:

Farjon, A. 2013. Cupressus arizonica var. glabra. The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species 2013: e.T19708408A19708411. https://dx.doi.org/10.2305/IUCN.UK.2013-1.RLTS.T19708408A19708411.en. Downloaded on 27 December 2019.

writing the template:

{{make cite IUCN|Farjon, A. 2013. Cupressus arizonica var. glabra. The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species 2013: e.T19708408A19708411. https://dx.doi.org/10.2305/IUCN.UK.2013-1.RLTS.T19708408A19708411.en. Downloaded on 27 December 2019.}}

shows this in Preview mode:

Farjon, A. (2013). "Cupressus arizonica var. glabra". IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. 2013: e.T19708408A19708411. doi:10.2305/IUCN.UK.2013-1.RLTS.T19708408A19708411.en. Retrieved 27 December 2019.

when substed gives this:

Limitations

Substing, using the subst: prefix does not work within <ref>...</ref> tags; see Help:Substitution § Limitation. That is why this template is auto-subst'd by AnomieBOT which does work within <ref>...</ref> tags.

Alternatively, use |ref=NAME to wrap the output with <ref name=NAME>...</ref> tags. When substituted with the code:

{{subst:make cite IUCN|Goodrich, J., Lynam, A., Miquelle, D., Wibisono, H., Kawanishi, K., Pattanavibool, A., Htun, S., Tempa, T., Karki, J., Jhala, Y. & Karanth, U. 2015. Panthera tigris. The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species 2015: e.T15955A50659951. https://dx.doi.org/10.2305/IUCN.UK.2015-2.RLTS.T15955A50659951.en. Downloaded on 12 August 2020.|ref=iucn}}

the following will be output on the page:

<ref name=iucn>{{cite IUCN |author=Goodrich, J. |author2=Lynam, A. |author3=Miquelle, D. |author4=Wibisono, H. |author5=Kawanishi, K. |author6=Pattanavibool, A. |author7=Htun, S. |author8=Tempa, T. |author9=Karki, J. |author10=Jhala, Y. |author11=Karanth, U. |year=2015 |title=''Panthera tigris'' |volume=2015 |page=e.T15955A50659951 |doi=10.2305/IUCN.UK.2015-2.RLTS.T15955A50659951.en |access-date=12 August 2020}}</ref>

Sometimes it is desirable to modify the output of {{make cite IUCN}} (wikilinks etc) before saving. One, sort of awkward, way to accomplish that is to open another browser window and open a sandbox. Write the {{make cite IUCN|<IUCN citation text>|x}} (note the unnamed parameter x at the end); click Show preview, the template will render a formatted {{cite IUCN}} template that you can edit and then copy/paste into the target article. The x parameter shows the italic markup in |title=.

From this original IUCN citation:

{{make cite IUCN|Goodrich, J., Lynam, A., Miquelle, D., Wibisono, H., Kawanishi, K., Pattanavibool, A., Htun, S., Tempa, T., Karki, J., Jhala, Y. & Karanth, U. 2015. Panthera tigris. The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species 2015: e.T15955A50659951. https://dx.doi.org/10.2305/IUCN.UK.2015-2.RLTS.T15955A50659951.en. Downloaded on 12 August 2020.|x}}

the template returns this {{cite IUCN}}:

{{cite iucn |author=Goodrich, J. |author2=Lynam, A. |author3=Miquelle, D. |author4=Wibisono, H. |author5=Kawanishi, K. |author6=Pattanavibool, A. |author7=Htun, S. |author8=Tempa, T. |author9=Karki, J. |author10=Jhala, Y. |author11=Karanth, U. |year=2015 |title=''Panthera tigris'' |volume=2015 |page=e.T15955A50659951 |doi=10.2305/IUCN.UK.2015-2.RLTS.T15955A50659951.en |access-date=12 August 2020}}
