This is a documentation subpage for Template:GRIN.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

Usage

Use this template to add a reference to a species page on the web site GRIN. At the moment, it cannot link to pages on other taxonomic ranks, such as genera and families.

Note: This template is designed to support WikipediaBioReferences and retrieves Wikidata. Do not edit this template unless you are familiar with these functionalities or are copying updated code from commons.

This template accepts all parameters that {{citation}} accepts.

Syntax

Simple

Simply use the tag by itself or leave the id parameter blank to generate a citation/link of Wikidata's corresponding GRIN link for the current plant species. Wikidata: has GRIN links for most of the Wikipedia species on the GRIN database.

{{GRIN}}

Example: Adding {{GRIN}} to the Maize page creates (in the beginning of 2020) the following:
"Zea mays". Germplasm Resources Information Network (GRIN). Agricultural Research Service (ARS), United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).
