Template:Fam/doc

Purpose

A formatting template for listing familia in the "Taxonaviation" section.

Usage

Use as: {{fam|Family}}

Example: If the family name is Nothobranchiidae, you would write {{fam|Nothobranchiidae}} which creates:

Nothobranchiidae –

In practice: See Cyprinodontoidei for how this is used.

Final list item:

For the last item in a list of familiae, use {{Famlast}} instead of {{fam}} since that one won't create a dash at the end. For the same reason, if there's a total of only one family in the entire list, you should use {{Famlast}} rather than {{fam}}.
