ಟೆಂಪ್ಲೇಟು:Botanist/doc

Purpose

1. For a biography article of an individual who has authored plant names, provide the standard author abbreviation used for that individual.
2. Include the article in ವರ್ಗ:Botanists with author abbreviations.

For the very rare cases where an individual has two separate author abbreviations, use {{Botanist2}}.

Usage

{{botanist|author abbreviation}}

{{botanist|author abbreviation|border=0}}

Border

The default is a 2px wide gray border at the top and bottom of the text. To remove the border, use the second form above, i.e. add |border=0.

Placement

The template must be placed above the references section or the automated reference included in the template will not display and a cite error may be present on the article. Some authors prefer to place the template along with a list of the author's publications while others choose to put it near prose text about the author's botanical contributions. Placement, as long as it is above the references section, is mostly a stylistic matter.

When using this template, even in a stub article, you must also include a references section and one of the following or an error will display on the article: {{reflist}} or <references/>. See Wikipedia:Footnotes for more.

Author abbreviation

To encourage consistency the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature (ICBN) recommends (Recommendation 46A.4, Note 1) the use of Brummitt & Powell's Authors of plant names (1992), where each author of a botanical name has been assigned a unique abbreviation. These standard abbreviations can be found at the IPNI, Author Query page. For example in:

• Lens Mill. the abbreviation "Mill." refers to Philip Miller.
• Lens culinaris Medik. the abbreviation "Medik." refers to the botanist with the birth name Friedrich Kasimir Medikus.

Microformat

The HTML markup produced by this template includes an hCard microformat, which makes the person's name parsable by computers, either acting automatically to catalogue articles across Wikipedia or via a browser tool operated by a reader, to (for example) add the subject to an address book. For more information about the use of microformats on Wikipedia, please see the microformat project.

To include a URL, use {{URL}}.

Classes

The hCard in this template uses at least some of these HTML classes:

• agent
• family-name
• fn (required)
• given-name
• honorific-prefix
• honorific-suffix
• n
• nickname
• org
• url
• vcard

Please do not rename or remove these classes; nor collapse nested elements which use them.
