[edit] Optional and mandatory fields

You can leave certain fields blank (image, image_caption, range_map). They will then just be invisible until someone fills them in. However, name needs to be filled out, or a dot appears; and if you don't provide a diversity_link, the box will be garbled.

[edit] Diversity

Here's how the diversity thing goes: There are lists of species for every of the 111 spider families, and they're named List of <family> species, eg. List of Atypidae species. so you enter this, and attach an anchor (#) with the genus name to it, eg. List of Atypidae species#Calommata. This way, users can click on Diversity and see for themselves which are currently in the respective genus (for these lists will get regularly updated, whereas the genus pages might not).

[edit] Range map

If you do create a range map (see example1, example2), please upload it to wikimedia commons, and categorize it as "commons:Category:Spider habitat maps".

[edit] Describers

The parentheses around first describer names have a meaning, please do not remove them! It means that somebody later moved the taxon to another name. It's nice to link to a describer, even if there is no article for them (this way all species described by one person can easily be found). Here are several lists with the full names:

[edit] Type species

If you provide a Wikipedia:WikiProject_Tree_of_Life/taxobox_usage#Type_Species type species, please use the name of the original description (=first synonym in the World Spider Catalog), but link it to the recent name. The describer in this case should never be in parentheses.
