Usage

When copying all parameters in either the vertical or horizontal layouts, delete those which are not needed.

All parameters, horizontal layout

{{FishBase |genus= |species= |id= |month= |year= }}

All parameters, vertical layout

{{FishBase
|genus=
|species=
|id=
|month=
|year=
}}

The usage of the parameters:

• |genus= the genus name (e.g., Cepola)
• |species= the species name (e.g., macrophthalma)
• |id= (optional) the id number given for the article; this links straight to the FishBase article
• |month= the month in which the article was accessed, which gives the version of FishBase
• |year= similarly, the year
