Nom
[edit]TemplateData for Balenes
{{Ca-nom}} is a utility template used on test.wikipedia for rendering structured lines of taxonomic information in a compact, machine‑readable way. It is especially useful in maintenance pages that list double taxon entries, where a taxon and its parent hierarchy need to be checked or normalised.[1][2][3]
Purpose
[edit]On the test wikis, {{Ca-nom}} originates from the Catalan‑language name template system, where it is commonly used to display lexical or onomastic information (such as headwords in dictionaries and lists of names).[4]
In this adapted context, the same structural idea is reused for taxonomic lists:
- each line begins with a human‑readable label (for example, “Double taxon: Hymenoptera”);
- the template then encodes the corresponding parentage chain in a parameter such as
|parents=; - trailing semicolons are preserved to facilitate parsing by scripts or bots that scan the maintenance pages.
This allows editors to verify classification consistency across different groups, including Insecta, Protozoa and various fungal and viral taxa, while keeping the format reasonably close to more traditional Catalan name templates used in lexical entries.$CITE_1$CITE_2
Syntax
[edit]A typical usage on a test maintenance page may look like:
- Double taxon:
Hymenoptera;- parents =
Insecta;Arthropoda;Animalia;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
- parents =
Represented with {{Ca-nom}}, the same information can be encoded as:
- Template loop detected: Template:Ca-nom
The key features of the syntax are:
- the
taxonparameter carries the scientific name, which can itself be linked if desired; - the
parentsparameter preserves the ordered hierarchy from the closest parent upward; - long tails of semicolons (for example,
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;) are maintained as in the original data dumps or reports, because tools may interpret them as column placeholders.
Parameters
[edit]taxon- Required. The name of the taxon or biological entity. Examples include:
- * Hymenoptera (an order of insects that includes wasps, bees and ants);
- * Zygosaccharomyces (a genus of yeasts in the family Saccharomycetaceae);[5]
- * Marafivirus: Maize rayado fino virus (a plant virus species in the genus Marafivirus).[6]
parents- Required. A semi‑colon separated list of the parent taxa, written from the immediate parent (usually genus or family) up to a higher rank such as kingdom or domain. Internal links such as Asteraceae or Plantae are recommended where appropriate.
status- Optional. Can be used to note whether a given double taxon arises from a synonym, deprecated name, or an alternative classification. For example, some protist lineages historically placed in Protozoa may now be classified in Chromista or within the eukaryotic supergroups such as Amoebozoa.[7]
notes- Optional. Free‑form text where editors can briefly explain peculiarities in the hierarchy (for instance, multiple valid parentage schemes or uncertain placements for microsporidian species).
Examples
[edit]The following examples mirror common patterns seen on test maintenance pages while using {{Ca-nom}}.
Insect orders and species
[edit]- Template loop detected: Template:Ca-nom
This line encodes Hymenoptera, an order within the class Insecta and phylum Arthropoda, part of the kingdom Animalia, which together encompass major groups such as ants, bees, sawflies and wasps.
- Template loop detected: Template:Ca-nom
Here, Zouza radiosa is presented with a hierarchy going from genus (Zouza) to family (Liturgusidae) and order (Mantodea, the praying mantises). Such entries are useful when checking consistency of mantis taxa across different lists.
Fungi and yeasts
[edit]- Template loop detected: Template:Ca-nom
This example shows a species in a genus placed within the phylum Ascomycota, one of the principal divisions of the kingdom Fungi. The relatively short parent chain indicates that intermediate classes and orders were not included in the original data export.
- Template loop detected: Template:Ca-nom
This line illustrates a more detailed hierarchy, running from family (Saccharomycetaceae) up to kingdom. Species in this genus are notable for their high sugar tolerance and importance in food spoilage research.[8]
Protozoa and related protists
[edit]Historically, many eukaryotic microorganisms were grouped under Protozoa, a category now considered paraphyletic but still encountered in legacy databases and test listings. {{Ca-nom}} can mirror these historical chains:
- Template loop detected: Template:Ca-nom
- Template loop detected: Template:Ca-nom
- Template loop detected: Template:Ca-nom
- Template loop detected: Template:Ca-nom
- Template loop detected: Template:Ca-nom
These example chains reflect taxonomic concepts where Amoebozoa and its constituent groups, such as Lobosa and genera like Acanthamoeba, were placed within an overarching protozoan framework. Modern systems often treat Amoebozoa as a distinct eukaryotic supergroup, separate from Chromista and other lineages, but the legacy labels remain useful when cleaning historical datasets.[9]
Algae, chromists and plants
[edit]{{Ca-nom}} can also be used for lineages associated with Chromista and green plants:
- Template loop detected: Template:Ca-nom
- Template loop detected: Template:Ca-nom
- Template loop detected: Template:Ca-nom
- Template loop detected: Template:Ca-nom
- Template loop detected: Template:Ca-nom
- Template loop detected: Template:Ca-nom
These lines cover diatoms, brown algae, dinoflagellates, green algae and flowering plants. Internal links such as Bacillariophyceae, Chordariaceae, Dinophyceae and Chlorophyta help to connect test entries to their full encyclopedic articles where available.
Viruses
[edit]Viral taxa can also be represented, including genera and species recognized by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV):
- Template loop detected: Template:Ca-nom
- Template loop detected: Template:Ca-nom
- Template loop detected: Template:Ca-nom
In these examples, the genus name (such as Marafivirus or Tymovirus) is treated as the immediate parent, followed by the family (e.g. Tymoviridae), the order (Tymovirales) where applicable, and the general viral grouping (Viruses). Maintaining this structure allows tools to cross‑check species, genera and families against updated ICTV releases.[10]

Notes
[edit]- On test wikis, {{Ca-nom}} is often used in combination with language‑specific templates such as {{Sense accepcions}} or internal helper templates for dictionary‑style entries.$CITE_3
- Because test content is experimental, the taxonomic chains shown above may not always reflect current consensus classifications and should not be treated as authoritative without cross‑checking against up‑to‑date sources.
