Welcome to Wikispecies!
Hello, and welcome to Wikispecies! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages you might like to see:
- Help:Contents provides a good introduction to editing Wikispecies.
- Templates are there to help you to follow our syntax and formatting standards.
- Have a look at Done and to do.
If you have named a taxon, then it is likely that there is (or will be) a Wikispecies page about you, and other pages about your published papers. Please see our advice and guidance for taxon authors.
If you have useful images to contribute to Wikispecies, please upload them at Wikimedia Commons. This is also true for video or audio files containing bird songs, whale vocalization, etc.
Please sign your comments on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your username (if you're logged in) and the date. Please also read the Wikispecies policy What Wikispecies is not. If you need help, ask me on my talk page, or in the Village Pump. Again, welcome!
Your entries were a bit confusing, I tried to rectify them but I'm no mycologist. Please check, but use standard taxonavigation (i.e. don't enumerate higher taxa (e.g. classes) when filling lower levels (in casu ordines). Have a look at the history of the pages for the changes I made. This is a rather rigid wiki what formatting is concerned. Thanks --Lycaon 23:30, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
Hey sorry about that. Iam new and just trying to learn my way around. Can you check out my new stuff done in the Basidiomycota class and tell me if that is correct? If not please dont fix it, instead tell me whats wrong so I can fix it myself and learn from it. Thanks :D
Formatting[edit]
Hi there, no problems about those errors, everybody has to start ;-).
As for formatting, we use a kind of 'standard' wikispecies formatting. I.e. use , italics and abbreviated generic names for enumerating multiple species under a genus. Have a look at the Recent Changes for alteration that are made to your recent contributions. A lot of those standards have not been written out yet (should 've done that ages ago :-p). An Excel-file that facilitates input of multiple taxa can be found here: taxa.xls. Any questions/problems -> shoot.
One thing you may start having a look at is the fact that we don't repeat all higher taxa on lower levels. E.g. when working on family or genus level, you wouldn't repeat classes that are not in 'the hierarchical chain'. Also have look at wikispecies:Village_Pump#Taxa_formatting for the latinized names for taxa (we try to be as international as possible). -- Lycaon 07:09, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
