Help:Species page template

Let's build a template that we can use for all the species pages. I think we need to hash out the headings, any autogenerated information (pulling in of maps or data) that we want included, and the order of all of this on the page.

We will need to discuss and decide how these pages, and headings, may be categorized using Mediawiki markup or if we do not want to worry about any such details.

It may be helpful to include some direction under each heading. A number of headings given below have a bit of text associated with them: these are a few examples of what I mean by providing some direction.

Finally we will need to be sure that whatever template we settle on is also set up to be workable for sharing our information with EOL.

Range
Antwiki suggests the use of place names as applied by the UN Statistics Division. Bioregions or ecoregions classification systems can have different boundaries and slightly different sets of names therefore they can be a bit ambiguous.

- autogenerated - distribution map(s) - -

- autogenerated- KLM file, CSV file download link - -

Habitat
- autogenerated - Environments - block of specimen level collection (label) data - -

- autogenerated - Situations - block of specimen level label data - -

Biology
Simply write a block of text under this single heading or you can parse out more detailed information into logical categories using additional headings. You can find a set of suggested headings for this section, and others, at the Species Page Categories Page.

Change this heading to your project name
Place text about your own regional observations, field notes, nest photos, etc. in this section.

Original Combination
List the original name and the reference, remove this instructional text and the example, and leave the single sentence note that follows in place:

EXAMPLE: Aphaenogaster (Nystalomyrma) barbigula Wheeler 1916:221

The description and other taxonomic information that follows is provided from the same publication as given in the original combination, unless otherwise noted.

Worker
Description for worker.

Measurements: (provide basis for measurements, e.g., n = 8; and cite reference as source if different from original combination information, e.g., Wheeler 1916) CI ; EI ; EL ; HL ; HW ; ML ; MTL ; SI ; SL.

Queen
Description for queen and any measurements for queens under this heading. If the description or measurements come from a different source, this should be noted by indication the author and year of publication. The full citation should then be included in the references section.

Male
Same as stated for queen.
