  • {{tlc}} – template link code – shows template code w/o link (see {{WRMS species}} example below). This breaks with "="; use {{tlx}} to show "="!
  • {{tn}} – template link, with the inner braces being part of the link, to increase the 'clickable footprint'
  • {{tlx|para1|para2|para3|4=para4|anotherparam=value}} – best for displaying "=", but need to use absolute field positions (e.g. "4=year=2012").

Redirect templates

  • {{R alt}}
  • {{R from alt cap}}
  • {{R from incorrect name}}
  • {{R from incorrect punctuation}}
  • {{R from plural}}
  • {{R to plural}}
  • {{R from alternative scientific name}} – synonym, redirecting to preferred. (printworthy)
  • {{R from scientific name}} – to common name (printworthy)
  • {{R from monotypic taxon}} – Ex: When a genus has only one species, should redirect from genus to species. (printworthy)
  • {{R to monotypic taxon}} – Redirecting to monotypic taxon from its only member (e.g. species to genus). (printworthy)
