Fishes Template‑class | |||||||

I was taking a look at
Nursehound and noticed the bullet before the FishBase entry in the references section was missing. I was going to fix it, but it seems the needed asterisk was already there. Could it be a result of this template's coding? --

I think the template would be better if species names were in italics, in line with its analogue on the Commons and Wikispecies. I would also suggest removing the quote marks at the same time. Does anyone disagree? -- Stemonitis ( talk) 19:01, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
"Barus barus" in Froese, R. and D. Pauly (eds). FishBase. February 2009 version.
And the templates {{ FishBase order}}, {{ FishBase family}}, {{ FishBase genus}}, {{ FishBase subspecies}}, {{ FishBase species alt}} need to updated if this one is. — innotata ( Talk • Contribs) 19:14, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
I've boldly changed "FishBase" to "FishBase" in this and related templates. I can't see any reason for FishBase to be italicised- our article on the site does not italicise, and there seems to be nothing in the MoS suggesting it should be. I'd be inclined to think that this is a hangover from the ridiculous "work" parameter in {{ cite web}}, which is a formatting nightmare. If you disagree with my actions, please explain why- I'm sure we can work something out. J Milburn ( talk) 11:26, 16 April 2011 (UTC)
At least in some cases this template produces dead links when there are live links on Fishbase. See, for example, the citation on this page for Psilorhynchus robustus before the template was replaced with a straight link, or this one for Sinocyclocheilus robustus, again the template version was replaced with a direct link. Can the template be updated or can a newer template be created which actually accesses the data? -- Bejnar ( talk) 05:35, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
I think we should change
to
to match the output from the "cite" templates. Any objections? Jason Quinn ( talk) 03:40, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

In the template please change
{{{species|{{{2}}}}}}''"]
to
{{{species|{{{2}}}}}}''{{-"}}]
so that the close quotation mark is spaced versus the species name. (See Template:-".) — DocWatson42 ( talk) 07:19, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
