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

Additional templates for similar reasons to consider:
- Paleobiota list
- Parameters: taxon, image, locality/member, material, notes
Paleospecies table
editTemplate: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)
Species name | Skeletal diagram | Range | Size and ecology | |
---|---|---|---|---|

For Commons
editA 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|}}}}}

| [[Category:Inaccurate Ornithischia restorations]]
| [[Category:Inaccurate dinosaur restorations]]
}}
}}
}}
}}
| [[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.
