Template:SealifePhotos/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a template to generate links to SealifeCollection.org, a database of sea life photos.

Instructions

[edit]
  1. Search on Sealife Collection for the species of sea life you want.
  2. When you find the desired page, the page URL should look like https://sealifecollection.org/taxon/######, where "######" indicates a number.
  3. Copy only that number.
  4. Add to the external links section the text:
    {{sealifephotos|######|name}}
    where "######" is the number you've copied, and "name" is the optional name of the link (if omitted, the page name will be used).

Example

[edit]
  1. On the page Halocynthia papillosa, search for "Halocynthia papillosa". The taxon ID in the result is 103827.
  2. Copy "103827" and then insert it in the {{SealifePhotos}} template, including this number as a parameter:
    {{SealifePhotos|103827}}
  3. The result on the page Halocynthia papillosa is:
    Photos of Halocynthia papillosa on Sealife Collection
  4. Alternately, use the 'name' parameter to change the default name. Then {{SealifePhotos|103827|red sea-squirt}} would render as:
    Photos of red sea-squirt on Sealife Collection

Typically this is a list item in the external links section (even if there is only one link), so you should add "*" in front.
