This template is used to generate references or external links to the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS). It uses {{cite web}} to produce the output, and passes the publisher to that template automatically. It also contains a table of database names, to save the user from entering the database's title and editor(s). Typical usage would be:
{{cite WoRMS |author= |year= |title= |id= |access-date=18 August 2024}}
For an entry that is part of one of the named databases in WoRMS, the additional db=
parameter is used:
{{cite WoRMS |author= |year= |title= |id= |access-date=18 August 2024 |db=}}
Where the entry is not in one of the names databases, db=
can be omitted. The title=
field should contain Wiki-formatting for italics, as appropriate. To use the template to generate an entry in the external links section of an article, omit the access-date=
field. If the author=
field is missing or empty, a default author of "WoRMS" will appear.
- Example output
- {{cite WoRMS |author=P. Schuchert |year=2010 |title=''Zyzzyzus'' Stechow, 1921d |db=Hydrozoa |id=267956 |access-date=November 24, 2011}}
produces:
- P. Schuchert (2010). Schuchert P (ed.). "Zyzzyzus Stechow, 1921d". World Hydrozoa database. World Register of Marine Species. Retrieved November 24, 2011.
For cs2 style citations, use |mode=cs2
