I propose making the following changes to this template. If there is no objection, or if there is consensus, I will move these changes into the active template on July 7, three days from today. The new code is in the sandbox and test cases are on the test cases page.
I will do any clean up work that might be necessary. Thanks. –droll [chat] 21:46, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
Italics should should not be automatically added by the template (and I have removed them). The reasons for this are twofold. Firstly, not all taxa should be italicised; ITIS can be used to refer to families and above just as much as it can for genera and below. Secondly, many articles, quite reasonably, use explicit italicisation, which produces ill-formatting if the template also tries to italicise the text. For example, ((ITIS|id=100182|taxon=''Anurida maritima'')) should produce:
"Anurida maritima". Integrated Taxonomic Information System.
and not:
"'Anurida maritima'". Integrated Taxonomic Information System.

((ITIS highertaxa))
and ((ITIS lowertaxa))
or similar, where the former produce a taxon name in normal text, and the latter a taxon name in italics. The downside would of course be that the articles that use the presently available template would have to be manually edited to reflect the change... –Tommy Kronkvist (talk), 16:46, 24 August 2010 (UTC).Please look over the template documentation. I'm hoping this will clarify the issues discussed above. As always, please fix errors. –droll [chat] 20:15, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
I'm not sure if administrators will still maintain this, but this template really should be updated to be compatible with ITIS template formats on other wikis, the same format the WikipediaBioReferences utility uses. See (fr:Utilisateur:Liné1/WikipediaBioReferences). Take a look at the template tag format on commons:Template:ITIS, species:Template:ITIS, fr:Modèle:ITIS, and others. The format is:
But this en:wikipedia template requires:
This breaks compatibility with many other wikis. I should be able to copy ITIS template tags from other wikis and paste them into en:wikipedia and have them work, but right now I get an error:
So far I have imported/translated the following WikipediaBioReferences/commons compatible templates: Template:GISD, Template:EFloras, Template:CatalogueofLife species, Template:Tropicos and I am very frustrated that the en:wikipedia ITIS tag is not compatible across wikiprojects. I hope it can be updated to support an absence of the "id=" characters, while also not breaking currently used ITIS tags.--MCEllis (talk) 20:02, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
There seems to be a problem with the template, or at least with ITIS. In my case I went to https://www.itis.gov/ and searched for "Amphiprion nigripes" which brings up the web page with the url
https://www.itis.gov/servlet/SingleRpt/SingleRpt#null
and TSN 615201. When I put the detail into the template
("Amphiprion nigripes". Integrated Taxonomic Information System. Retrieved 12 October 2016.)
it takes me to https://www.itis.gov/servlet/SingleRpt/SingleRpt?search_topic=TSN&search_value=615201 which gives the error message "The specified URL cannot be found." Find bruce (talk) 08:52, 12 October 2016 (UTC)

The purpose of this edit is to provide increased privacy and security for users by having the template generate an HTTPS link for ITIS instead of the current HTTP link. For example, the URL http://www.itis.gov/servlet/SingleRpt/SingleRpt?search_topic=TSN&search_value=21371
generates a 302 Found redirect to https://www.itis.gov/servlet/SingleRpt/SingleRpt?search_topic=TSN&search_value=21371
. Though the ITIS site may change in the future, it would seem that changing the template to generate an HTTPS link should be all right at this time. In the template, please change both instances of http://www.itis.gov/
(there are two instances) to https://www.itis.gov/
instead. Thanks. --Elegie (talk) 06:54, 14 May 2017 (UTC)

Please add |mode=(({mode|CS1))
in ((cite web))
on the template page to allow the citation style to be changed. Medicago lupulina needs this template to use Citation Style 2. — Eru·tuon 04:06, 14 July 2018 (UTC)

This removes the plain link for transclusions without taxon
, and instead uses the same Template:Cite web call with default title "Report" (because all titles begin with "ITIS - Report:"). This allows for an actual CS1 template, so other parameters can be added (like access-date
), even without taxon
. This also removes the unused parameter template-doc-demo
, an alias of template doc demo
. See testcases for the change. Tol (talk | contribs) @ 05:52, 11 November 2021 (UTC)
