Template:vern/documentation

Usage
Used to create links to the Wikipedia page for a species' common (vernacular) name when there is not yet an entry here on Wiktionary for the common name.

When the template is used as intended, it categorizes the common name in Category:Entries missing English vernacular names of taxa. When the template is misused, when the linked term has a page in Wiktionary, the page the template is used on is categorized in Category:Entries with redundant template: vern.

Please check to make sure that there is a relevant Wikipedia article or a redirect to a relevant Wikipedia article for the common name. Don't hesitate to add a redirect to the most appropriate Wikipedia page (or section of a page) at Wikipedia.
