Module:Cite taxon (sandbox)

This template aims to provide a standard way of referencing taxonomic databases. It uses module:Cite taxon. The module was created as module:FishRef to generate {{cite web}} references to the Catalog of Fishes database. The capabilities were extended to handle other fish-related references, hence the original module name, and the system now covers a number of taxonomic databases covering amphibia, reptiles, birds, mammals and plants, as well as a few invertebrate and general databases.

Usage

The basic usage is {{Cite taxon|database|parameters}}
