Use this template to add citations to pages on the web site catalogueoflife.org.
The Catalogue of Life website was updated in December, 2020 to use new style IDs and a new infrastructure (see new infrastructure). This template handles references using the new IDs and infrastructure using named parameters (|id=
, |title=
, etc), while also handling legacy uses with the old-style IDs with positional parameters. New citations should use named parameters.
