This documentation is transcluded from Template:ITIS/doc.
- Usage
- Use this template to add a reference to a taxon on the web site ITIS by providing the taxon id on ITIS.
- Note: For fishes, Commons (category, taxonavigation) follows FishBase more than ITIS
- Note: This template can be used in conjunction with {{Taxoconflict}}, {{Taxa}}, {{Genera}}, {{Genera2}}, {{Species}}, {{Species2}} and {{Subspecies}} with parameter "source=ITIS" (See here the different values for source)
- Note: if you want to edit this template, first try your modifications on {{ITIS/sandbox}}.You can then test your edits in {{ITIS/testcases}}.
When the new version is ready, ask an administrator to move it to the main template. You can do that by putting a {{Edit request}} in the template talk page and explaining that the admin just needs to copy the sandbox code into the main template.

- Results
- ITIS link: Histrio Fischer, 1813
- ITIS link: Histrio
- ITIS link: ITIS
- ITIS link: Histrio jagua Nichols, 1920 Invalid
- Syntax
{{ITIS | id | name | validity }}
- Parameters
-
- id
- the id of the taxon on ITIS web site.
- How to retrieve the id: In the url www.itis.gov/servlet/SingleRpt/SingleRpt?search_topic=TSN&search_value=164519 the id is 164519
- Sample (for Histrio): 164519
- name
- The name of the taxon with its author (don't forget italic for genus and species)
- Sample (for Histrio): ''Histrio'' Fischer, 1813
- validity (optional)
- If the taxon is considered as unaccepted or synonym by ITIS, add nv.
- Sample (for Histrio jagua): nv
- checks=no (optional)
- This template compares the parameter <speciesId> with the property P815 stored in wikidata (Not in case nv is provided because taxon is not valid).
- When different, a maintenance category is added.
- checks=no disables this test when {{ITIS}} does not describe the taxon described in wikidata (Happens when there are multiple call to {{ITIS}} on the same category/gallery, mainly in monotypic taxons)

- ITIS content
- For fish, ITIS follows Catalog of Fishes Eschmeyer, William N., ed. 1998 & Catalog of Fishes, 13-May-2004 de Nelson
- For birds, ITIS follows (with a certain delay) the www.zoonomen.net zoonomen list (also called Alan P. Peterson list), a modified version of Sibley-Ahlquist taxonomy. As Commons follows the more up-to-date and international IOC list, links to ITIS are not recommended.
- For plants, ITIS follows the very old Cronquist System (Angiosperms specialist); content for taxa outside of North America is also often lacking or inaccurate, so links ITIS are not recommended.
