Help:Vernacular names section

From Wikispecies
Jump to navigation Jump to search

This section provides common names in other languages and if possible links to Wikipedia pages. It is always the last section on a page ("References" go above it).

The structure of this section should be either spaced (above) or in list form (below); both display the same. Spaced is generally easier for editing as it reduces the need for scrolling to reach text below the VN section:

The three last links will show up as interwiki links in the sidebar. As seen in this example, not all article names are named by their common names. Most taxa will not have common names in some (or any) languages. Do not add names to {{VN}} if they are the same as the scientific name (marked * in the Wikidata list above). Also, do not simply translate common names into other languages; it doesn't work that way. The names must actually be in use.

Attention: Some language versions of Wikipedia prefer the scientific name for the title of the article. In this case, try to find the correct vernacular name in the info box or in the introductory part of the article. Also, please note that while most scientific names use Latin grammatical form they are most often not to be considered proper Latin. Hence the correct Latin vernacular name of a taxon is very seldom identical to the scientific name of said taxon. As an example the Latin vernacular name for domestic cat is not Felis silvestris catus, but "cattus".

The resulting list should be in alphabetical order of language name (the wiki code does this automatically). For a complete list of language abbreviations see: meta:List of Wikipedias.

Attention: Titles of the articles in interwiki always begin with a capital letter (Sentence case). The VN list should follow suit, even when the within-sentence convention for vernacular names is in lower case in some languages.

Usage[edit]

As vernacular names are not an important part of Wikispecies, the vernacular names list in Wikispecies is only a summary; it is not intended to be a comprehensive listing of every local variant, past or present.

To avoid the list becoming too long, only include one vernacular name per language, which should generally be the standard name (French, nom normalisé) used in official publications in the relevant language (such as the IOC World Bird Names list, or the Botanical Society of Britain and Ireland plant list). There is an exception for some languages that use more than one writing system. For example the Serbian language which officially use both Latin script and a variation of the Cyrillic alphabet. In those cases it's okay to add two names since they're essentially the same one, only written with two different alphabets.

Additional names may be added to the equivalent item in Wikidata, where sources should be given.

Capitalisation[edit]

English Wikipedia decapitalises vernacular names, following newspaper conventions but in contradiction to most formal taxon list publications; in Wikispecies VN lists, the English name should be capitalised in accord with formal publications (i.e., Sun Bear, not Sun bear or sun bear). Please also note that in German all nouns are always capitalised, including vernacular names.

Hyphens[edit]

In Wikidata, two- and three-part language codes are separated by an underscore in Wikidata, but the Wikispecies VN list uses a hyphen: remember to change bat_smg, zh_min_nan etc., to bat-smg, zh-min-nan, etc.

Simple English[edit]

Simple English (Wikidata code 'simple') is not a separate language from English, and is not used by the template.
