Template:TaxonIds/doc

The TaxonIds template summarizes taxonomical identifiers for use in the "External links" section of pages describing taxa. We currently support the following fields:

For examples, see the examples page. For now, you can check What links here (or the external transclusion count tool) to see which pages use this template.

Which databases should we include?

 * The database identifier must state the identifier on this page, indicating that the identifier itself is uniquely used to identify this entry.
 * A database should encompass a certain number of species to be included here.

Design notes

 * This template must support taxa at all levels: species names, family names, kingdoms, et al.
 * At some point, we should encode the ids into a short string where it can be read automatically.
