Template talk:NRDB species

Template-protected edit request on 14 December 2021

Hi, is it please possible to derive a Czech (cz) clone of "NRDB species"? Thank you Miroslav Ličko (talk) 08:07, 14 December 2021 (UTC)

 Not done (as to the immediate edit request), please make your edits in Template:NRDB species/sandbox and validate prior to reactivation. Feel free to continue to discuss improvements to this template below. — xaosflux ^Talk 11:50, 14 December 2021 (UTC)

Can someone please provide an example of how to use this template with the American (MDY) date format per MOS:DATETIES? —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 18:10, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

I found a way, although it's a bit ugly:

{{NRDB species|genus=Crotalus|species=cerastes|date=April 22,|year=2010}}

produces

Crotalus cerastes at the Reptarium.cz Reptile Database. Accessed April 22, 2010.

Notice the unusual use of a comma after "April 22" in the template input. I had tried

{{NRDB species|genus=Crotalus|species=cerastes|date=April 22, 2010}}

but that produces

Crotalus cerastes at the Reptarium.cz Reptile Database. Accessed April 22, 2010 {{{year}}}.

which has an obvious "{{{year}}}" error in the outcome.

Can't you just write:

{{NRDB species|genus=Crotalus|species=cerastes|access-date=March 26, 2023}}

to get:

Crotalus cerastes at the Reptarium.cz Reptile Database. Accessed March 26, 2023.

I'm not sure what the purpose of the separate date/year fields was, since the database itself doesn't seem to be versioned. Hqb (talk) 20:05, 26 March 2023 (UTC)

Oh. Yes, that's much better. Somehow I just didn't think of that! I guess the other uses of the template that I had seen were using |date= and |year= and I just didn't think to use |access-date=. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 22:12, 26 March 2023 (UTC)
