Notes

The suggested citation at the bottom of an IUCN details page contains all the data needed by this template except for the id, which is obtained from the page url. The output of this template is patterned after the IUCN suggested citation format and the template {{cite web}}.

The IUCN version is not to be confused with the criteria version (e.g. 3.1).

The {{{ref}}} parameter is supported to optionally allow ref names to be specified, such as "harv" or {{harvid}}.

Output
