Editing Module:FishRef/doc (section)

This module was created to generate {{tl|cite web}} references to the ''[[Catalog of Fishes]]'' database. The capabilities were extended to handle other fish-related references and the module renamed FishRef. Further extension to a more general Bioref system is the long-term goal.

The module provides a wrapper to the cite web system, which means that the references can also include general cite web parameters (e.g. <code>|mode=cs1|2</code> or <code>|quote=TEXT</code>).

The module is used with {{tl|Catalog of Fishes}}, which was designed to replace a series of templates that were originally written in the Wikipedia template language: {{tl|Cof genus}}, {{tl|Cof family}}, {{tl|Cof species}}, {{tl|Cof record}}.

Other templates using the module: {{tl|FishBase/sandbox}}, {{tl|BioRef}}, {{tl|fossilworks/sandbox}}, [[User:Jts1882/sandbox/template/asm]]

'''Usage of module:''' <nowiki>{{#invoke:FishRef|cof}}</nowiki>, <nowiki>{{#invoke:FishRef|fishbase}}</nowiki>, <nowiki>{{#invoke:FishRef|fossilworks}}</nowiki>, etc.
