[[Module:TaxonItalics]] {{Toolbar|style=font-size:90% |separator=dot

The purpose of this module is to correctly italicize scientific names at the rank of genus or below. Botanical ([[International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants|ICNafp]]) names may contain "connecting terms"; these must not be italicized. Examples of names correctly italicized by this module:

| 1 = [[:Module talk:TaxonItalics|talk]]

| 2 = {{edit|1=Module:TaxonItalics|2=edit}}

| 3 = {{history|Module:TaxonItalics|hist}}

| 4 = [{{fullurl:Special:WhatLinksHere/:Module:TaxonItalics|limit=999}} links]

| 5 = [[Module:TaxonItalics/doc|doc]]

| 6 = [[Special:PrefixIndex/Module:TaxonItalics|subpages]]

| 7 = [[Module:TaxonItalics/sandbox|sandbox]]

| 8 = [[Module talk:TaxonItalics/testcases|testcases]]

==Purpose==

The purposemodule ofis thisprimarily moduleintended isfor touse correctlyby italicizethe scientific[[WP:Automated namestaxobox atsystem|automated taxobox system]]. It supports the rankcorrect italicization of genus orscientific belownames. Botanical ([[International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants|ICNafp]]) names may contain "connecting terms"; these must not be italicized. ExamplesThe ofhybrid namessymbol, correctly×, italicizedshould byalso thisnot be italicized. The module: optionally wikilinks and abbreviates italicized names.

For non-virus taxa, italics are used at the rank of genus or below. The module does not decide whether a scientific name should be italicized. Use {{tlx|Is italic taxon}} for this purpose.

==Usage==

* <nowiki>{{#invoke:TaxonItalics|main|TAXON_NAME}}</nowiki> – italicizes a taxon name

* <nowiki>{{#invoke:TaxonItalics|main|TAXON_NAME|linked=yes}}</nowiki> – italicizes a taxon name, wikilinking the italicized output to the unchanged input

* <nowiki>{{#invoke:TaxonItalics|main|TAXON_NAME|abbreviated=yes}}</nowiki> – italicizes a taxon name, abbreviating all but the last part to the first letter

* <nowiki>{{#invoke:TaxonItalics|main|TAXON_NAME|dab=yes}}</nowiki> – italicizes a taxon name, treating any parenthesized part as a disambiguation term, and not italicizing it

The parameters can be combined. It can also be used via {{tl|Taxon italics}}.

==Examples==

===Just italicized===

;Connecting terms

* Pinus subg. Pinus → {{#invoke:TaxonItalics|main|Pinus subg. Pinus}}

* P. subgenus Pinus → {{#invoke:TaxonItalics|main|P. subgenus Pinus}}

Line 8 ⟶ 34:

* A. ericoides varietas ericoides → {{#invoke:TaxonItalics|main|A. ericoides varietas ericoides}}

* A. e. subvar. ericoides → {{#invoke:TaxonItalics|main|A. e. subvar. ericoides}}

Botanical names may contain only one infraspecific epithet; a string like "Fragaria vesca subsp. vesca f. semperflorens" is a classification, not a name, and is not handled by the module.

;Hybrid symbols

The module does <em>not</em> deal with virus names, which have quite different structures and italicization rules.

* Elaeagnus × submacrophylla → {{#invoke:TaxonItalics|main|Elaeagnus × submacrophylla}}

* ×Beallara → {{#invoke:TaxonItalics|main|×Beallara}}

* &amp;times; Beallara → {{#invoke:TaxonItalics|main|&times; Beallara}}

* <nowiki>{{hybrid}}</nowiki>Beallara → {{#invoke:TaxonItalics|main|{{hybrid}}Beallara}}

===Linked===

Using {{para|linked|yes}}

* Populus sect. Aigeiros → {{#invoke:TaxonItalics|main|Populus sect. Aigeiros|linked=yes}}

* Elaeagnus × submacrophylla → {{#invoke:TaxonItalics|main|Elaeagnus × submacrophylla|linked=yes}}

===Abbreviated===

Using {{para|abbreviated|yes}}

* Populus sect. Aigeiros → {{#invoke:TaxonItalics|main|Populus sect. Aigeiros|abbreviated=yes}}

* Acer tataricum subsp. ginnala → {{#invoke:TaxonItalics|main|Acer tataricum subsp. ginnala|abbreviated=yes}}

* [also linked] × Sorbaronia fallax → {{#invoke:TaxonItalics|main|× Sorbaronia fallax|abbreviated=yes|linked=yes}}

* [also linked] Elaeagnus × submacrophylla → {{#invoke:TaxonItalics|main|Elaeagnus × submacrophylla|abbreviated=yes|linked=yes}}

* Elaeagnus ×submacrophylla → {{#invoke:TaxonItalics|main|Elaeagnus ×submacrophylla|abbreviated=yes}}

* Elaeagnus <nowiki>{{hybrid}}</nowiki> submacrophylla → {{#invoke:TaxonItalics|main|Elaeagnus {{hybrid}} submacrophylla|abbreviated=yes}}

===Disambiguation terms===

By default, a parenthesized part of a taxon name is assumed to be a subgenus name, and is italicized:

* Varanus (Hapturosaurus) → {{#invoke:TaxonItalics|main|Varanus (Hapturosaurus)}}

* Caia (plant) → {{#invoke:TaxonItalics|main|Caia (plant)}} – {{red|wrong}}

To treat a parenthesized part as a disambiguation term, use {{para|dab|yes}}

* Caia (plant) → {{#invoke:TaxonItalics|main|Caia (plant)|dab=yes}}

* (also linked) Caia (plant) → {{#invoke:TaxonItalics|main|Caia (plant)|linked=yes|dab=yes}}
