 | This template is a Citation Style 1 specific-source template based on {{Cite web}}. For centralised Citation Style 1 discussions, see Help talk:Citation Style 1. |
The template creates a citation to the information webpage for a genus in the AlgaeBase taxonomic database.
To create a citation to the taxonomy browser webpage for a genus in AlgaeBase, use {{AlgaeBase taxon}}.
Usage
{{AlgaeBase genus|name=GENUS NAME|id=#####}}{{AlgaeBase genus|mode=cs1 (default) OR cs2|name=GENUS NAME|id=#####|access-date=DATE}}
The name parameter should give the genus name (without italics).
The id parameter should be the number at the end of the url for the genus information webpage, often a 4 or 5 digit number. For example, if the url is https://www.algaebase.org/search/genus/detail/?genus_id=52021, the highlighted number, 52021, would be put into the id field to create a citation with a link to the AlgaeBase page on Actinodontum.
The mode parameter with a value of "cs2" can be used to generate a cs2 style citation; the default is cs1.
The access-date parameter gives the date on which AlgaeBase was accessed.
Examples:
{{AlgaeBase genus |name=Actinodontum |id=52021}}→ Guiry, M.D.; Guiry, G.M. "Actinodontum". AlgaeBase. World-wide electronic publication, National University of Ireland, Galway.{{AlgaeBase genus |mode=cs2 |name=Actinodontum |id=52021 |access-date=2022-02-18}}→ Guiry, M.D.; Guiry, G.M., "Actinodontum", AlgaeBase, World-wide electronic publication, National University of Ireland, Galway, retrieved 2022-02-18
Important: AlgaeBase uses different urls for genera, species, and higher taxa. Use the following templates for species and higher taxa respectively:
