Templates

Something like the Template:Species table series, to both standardize and make additions to easier to add to the lists.

{{Paleotaxon year list}}

Additional templates for similar reasons to consider:

• Paleobiota list
  • Parameters: taxon, image, locality/member, material, notes

Paleospecies table

Template:Paleospecies table

• Paleotaxon list (for lists by taxon, e.g. List of mosasaurs) - think a paleontological equivalent to the stellar lists of extant species.
  • Parameters: taxon, image/diagram?, ... geological range, geographic range...
  • Column 1: Species name, authority, picture (of fossils (preferred) or life restoration)
  • Column 2: Skeletal diagram- silhouette/diagram that shows known material and size.
  • Column 3: Geological range, geographical range, range map
  • Column 4: Size and habitat

(An (inaccurate) mock-up) * (Column widths are 20/25/30/25 here, still under consideration)

Genus: Vishnufelis – Pilgrim, 1932 – 1 species

Species name	Skeletal diagram	Range	Size and ecology
Vishnufelis laticeps Pilgrim, 1932	[Image here]	Chinji Formation in Jhelum, India	Size: Small Habitat: Plains

For Commons

A project to create a comprehensive paleoart template for Commons to record accuracy vs inaccuracy, conservative vs. imaginative, etc.

Current/base template:

{{autotranslate|base=Inaccurate paleoart/i18n
|historical={{yesno|{{{historical|}}}}}
|dinosaur={{yesno|{{{dinosaur|}}}}}
|reason={{{reason|}}}
}}
<includeonly>
{{#if: {{{reason|}}}|| [[Category:Inaccurate paleoart without rationale]]}}
{{#if: {{yesno|{{{skeleton|}}}}}
| {{#if: {{yesno|{{{dinosaur|}}}}}
  | [[Category:Inaccurate dinosaur skeletons]]
  | [[Category:Inaccurate skeletal reconstructions]]
  }}
| {{#if: {{yesno|{{{model|}}}}}
  | {{#if: {{yesno|{{{dinosaur|}}}}}
    | [[Category:Inaccurate dinosaur models]]
    | [[Category:Inaccurate paleoart models]]
    }}

          }}
        }}
      }}
    }}
  | [[Category:Inaccurate paleoart]]
  }}
  
The new template should be something like:
{{Paleoart
|1=conservative vs imaginative
|2=well-known vs fragmentary (the fossil material for the taxon it shows)
|historical= yes (leave blank if no) (If it is an image useful for historical purposes)
|inaccurate= yes (leave blank if no)
|review= (cross-wiki link to Paleoart review)
}}

Preferably with auto-categorization, and for the first two parameters cross-categorization ([Category:Conservative art of well-known taxa] and so forth.

Auto-cat code:
{{#if: {{yesno|{{{historical|}}} }}
| [[Category:Historical restorations]]
}}

<!--Piece one: establish parameters? and template basics-->
{{autotranslate|base=
|1=
|2=
|historical={{{historical|}}}
|inaccurate={{{inaccurate|}}}
|review={{{review|}}}
}}

<!--Piece two:Auto-categorization-->

<includeonly>
{{#if: {{{historical|}}}|yes|[[Category:Historical paleoart]]}}
{{#if: {{{inaccurate|}}}|yes|[[Category:Inaccurate paleoart]]}} <!--need to add code so that review is required here, second category for w/out reason-->
{{#if: {{{|}}}| [[Category:]]}}
{{#if: {{{|}}}|| [[Category:]]}}

{{#if: {{yesno|{{{inaccurate|}}}}}
| {{#if: {{yesno|{{{review|}}}||[[Category:Inaccurate paleoart without rationale]]}}
}}

<!--Parameter requirements: 1 & 2 are necessary unless historical or inaccurate are set to no (default behavior for those should be NO). If only 1 or 2 is used but not the other, ERROR.-->

To do list:

• Build preliminary code
• Inquire as to preferred category names.
