Task force tagging

edit
  • Example template
    • {{WikiProject Insects|class=GA|importance=low|ants=yes|ants-importance=top}}
  • Empty template:
    • {{WikiProject Insects|class=|importance=|ants=yes|ants-importance=}}

The importance parameter is shared by all WikiProject Insects pages and this will likely be set to low even for imporant ant articles, but be generous with the ant-priority assessment! We'd rather have a few extra high/mid-rated articles than having important ant articles lost in the low-priority category (which is where most species articles will end up).

Available parameters (see Template:WikiProject Insects for a full list):

  • Task force params:
    • ants=yes
    • ants-importance=top/high/mid/low
  • From the parent template:
    • class=FA/GA/B/C/start/stub/list
    • importance=top/high/mid/low
    • attention=yes
    • needs-photo=yes

  • Userbox : {{User WikiProject Ants}}—a userbox indicating an editor is a participant of WikiProject Ants.

Resources

edit
  • antcat.org – taxonomy
    • Journal and book references can be exported on the references' details pages (follow the linked reference id) and click on 'Export' --> 'Wikipedia' (example)
    • Export wiki-formatted lists of tribes/genera/species by appending "/wikipedia" to a catalog page's URL. Example: Lasius.
    • {{AntCat}} – citation template (append "/wikipedia" like described above to populate this template from a catalog page)
    • AntCat's recent changes page – useful for discovering changes in ant taxonomy
  • antweb.org – Images
  • antwiki.org – Good for finding references but is not considered a reliable source itself. Claims found using AntWiki as a reference should be tagged with the {{Better source needed}}template and changed in the future.
  • Wikipedia:WikiProject Insects/ant task force/open access
