You can leave certain fields blank (image, image_caption, range_map, synonyms). They will then just be invisible until someone fills them in. However, name needs to be filled out, or a dot appears.

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".

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 (this way all species described by one person can easily be found). Here are two lists with the full names:

• Wikipedia:WikiProject Spiders/List of Arachnologists
• List of zoologists by author abbreviation
• German list of zoologists

Also, if a species was transferred from another genus, one can wikify this genus name in the synonyms list. This way it's easy to check out these othere genera.

See below for a template, ready to paste.
