Module:Science redirect
![]() | This module is rated as beta, and is ready for widespread use. It is still new and should be used with some caution to ensure the results are as expected. |
![]() | This module uses Lua: |
This module is designed to serve as a back end for {{R from alternative scientific name}}
, {{R to scientific name}}
, {{R from scientific name}}
, {{R to monotypic taxon}}
and {{R from monotypic taxon}}
.
The template parameters and recognized categories are set in Module:Science redirect/conf.
Usage[edit source]
{{#invoke:Science redirect|R|template name excluding 'R'}}
For example, for {{R to scientific name}}, you would use {{#invoke:Science redirect|R|to scientific name}}
to produce:
- To scientific name of an organism: This is a redirect from a vernacular ("common") name to the scientific name of an organism (or group of organisms).
Adding or modifying supported templates[edit source]
The template parameters and recognized categories are set in Module:Science redirect/conf. Instructions on how to add data are in the comments of that file.
For debugging, add parameter |debug=true
, e.g. {{#invoke:Science redirect|R|to scientific name|debug=true}}
produces:
{{Redirect template
| name = To scientific name of an organism
| from = a vernacular ("common") name
| main category = Redirects to scientific names
| printworthy = yes
| to = the scientific name of an organism (or group of organisms)
}}
