This template is an editor's aid. On each species page of the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, IUCN provides an example citation. This template takes that example citation as a single parameter value and returns a {{cite iucn}} template.

Usage

To use this template

  1. at an IUCN Red List species page, highlight and copy the example citation
  2. at the en.wiki article write:
    {{subst:make cite iucn|}}
  3. paste the IUCN example citation into the above between | and }}
  4. click Show preview to show the {{cite iucn}} template as a raw template
  5. click Publish changes; the raw template shown in Show preview becomes active

Example

At IUCN, the page for Smooth Arizona Cypress has this example citation:

Farjon, A. 2013. Cupressus arizonica var. glabra. The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species 2013: e.T19708408A19708411. http://dx.doi.org/10.2305/IUCN.UK.2013-1.RLTS.T19708408A19708411.en. Downloaded on 27 December 2019.

writing the template:

{{subst:make cite iucn|Farjon, A. 2013. Cupressus arizonica var. glabra. The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species 2013: e.T19708408A19708411. http://dx.doi.org/10.2305/IUCN.UK.2013-1.RLTS.T19708408A19708411.en. Downloaded on 27 December 2019.}}

shows this in Preview mode:

{{cite iucn |author=Farjon, A. |year=2013 |title=Cupressus arizonica var. glabra |volume=2013 |page=e.T19708408A19708411 |doi=10.2305/IUCN.UK.2013-1.RLTS.T19708408A19708411.en |access-date=27 December 2019}}

when substed gives this:

{{cite iucn |author1=Farjon, A. |year=2013 |title=''Cupressus arizonica'' var. ''glabra'' |volume=2013 |page=e.T19708408A19708411 |doi=10.2305/IUCN.UK.2013-1.RLTS.T19708408A19708411.en |access-date=27 December 2019}}
Farjon, A. (2013). "Cupressus arizonica var. glabra". IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. 2013: e.T19708408A19708411. doi:10.2305/IUCN.UK.2013-1.RLTS.T19708408A19708411.en. Retrieved 27 December 2019.

Limitation

Substing does not work within <ref>...</ref> tags; see Script error: No such module "Section link"..

One, sort of awkward, way around that is to open another browser window and open a sandbox. Write the {{make cite iucn|<IUCN citation text>|x}} (note the unnamed parameter x at the end); click Show preview, the template will render a formatted {{cite iucn}} template that you can copy and paste into the target article. The x parameter shows the italic markup in |title=.
