Template talk:Endemic

Restoration

@Fagus:@Stho002:@Dan Koehl:I have restored this Template as it may have some use for some users in this form. A Category just called "Category:Endemic" would be pointless as it would be the question "to where?". That said, the purpose of Templates is surely to save time and effort typing repetitive data. It occurs to me that typing "{{Endemic|Australia}}" takes no less time than typing "Endemic to Australia", so the Template seems pointless also. Perhaps the originator can explain why this Template is useful. I would ask that others do not change the Template until there has been further discussion.

• I think, There is a need to use this template (endemic). A new species are discovered every day in the world. Wikispecies information should not only be included until the systematic position of the taxon. It should be noted that grow where. Wikispecies purpose is not provide encyclopedic information. I know that. however. very little information is given about plant species in wikispecies. As a researcher, I would like to know the following characteristics about plant species.
• systematic status
• where it grows (country, endemic and cosmopolitan)
• life cycle (one year, perennial)
• Synonyms
• conservation status
• Number of chromosomes

@Fagus: Just have a look at Wikispecies:What Wikispecies is not and take care not to include things that are not in the policy. It is usual to include a taxon's "Type Locality", and for an endemic taxon this will obviously be the endemic locality, so no further explanation would be necessary. If there is a long list of synonyms, it is permissible to give the type localities for the synonyms after each citation. This also gives some idea of distribution, but "Distribution" per se is not part of the WikiSpecies remit. The idea that a taxon is "Endemic" may just reflect that it has not been found elsewhere, even though it may have a wider distribution. So any statement of endemicity is subject to review. We do not normally include data on life cycle, conservation status or chromosomes. This is more suited to Wikipedia information. I hope this helps. Accassidy (talk) 19:09, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

Other colour

@Accassidy: @Dan Koehl: @Fagus: I propose we change the now used red tint to some other colour, since the present hue might easily be mistaken for a red link. Blue would of course be equally bad. –Tommy Kronkvist (talk), 22:46, 9 January 2016 (UTC).

 Support Agree, I support that idea. Dan Koehl (talk) 06:26, 10 January 2016 (UTC)
