Uses of this and similar lists[edit]

As we don't know which entries are most used, this and similar lists can be taken as lists of entries to be added or upgraded.

  • Add vernacular names (try substing {{User:DCDuring/Newvern|{{{1}}}}} where {{{1}}} is the taxon.)
  • Add taxonomic names, preferrably using {{taxoninfl|g=unk|i=1}} in the inflection line and {{taxon||family||'vernacular name'}} in the definition line.
    For taxoninfl, if you know the gender you can type in g=m, g=f, g=n, g=m, f.
    For taxon, see {{taxon}} for other parameters. I will probably find missing or wrong parameters, but the first parameter is usually 'species', 'genus', or 'subspecies'. You could make parameter 3=unk to increase the chances that a good family name with be added, but the family name can usually be found at wikispecies.
  • Upgrade vernacular name entries, with external links (principally using {{pedia}}, {{specieslite}} and {{comcatlite}}), and images (eg, geographic distribution maps or pictures that illustrate why the vernacular name is used (See northern pintail for an example.)), translation tables, hyponym sections.
  • Upgrade taxon entries with Etymologies (genus and higher), Hypernyms (See Category:Taxonomic hypernym templates) and Hyponyms sections, and external links (See Category:Taxonomic name templates for templates beginning "R:").

As of this date strike-through only indicates that both vernacular and taxonomic names have been added, not that they have been upgraded. DCDuring TALK 22:04, 21 November 2014 (UTC)Reply
