Plants Wiki:Lists

Definition from Wiktionary: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f8/Wiktionary-logo-en.svg/40px-Wiktionary-logo-en.svg.png A register or roll of paper consisting of an enumeration or compilation of a set of possible items.

Lists are commonly used on Plantspedia.

When to include lists in an article
Place lists within an article if there are at most 99 contents in the list. If a list surpasses 99, it is recommended that you create a separate article for the list. If the list contains less than 50, you are strongly recommended to include the list in the article. If the article is already long, however, and there is no room for a list, it is recommended to make a separate article for a list as well (e.g. Rosaceae and List of Rosaceae genera are separate articles).

When to make a separate article for a list
When a list exceeds over 100 contents, it is strongly recommended to create a separate article for a list, though these can be added to the article if it is very short. If the list contains over 300 contents, there will be no exceptions: a separate list will have to be created (e.g. List of Bulbophyllum species contains over 1,000 contents).

Taxonomical lists
The only proper time to make a taxonomical list on Plantspedia is when a family contains a very large taxonomy, and cannot be diversified on the article. (e.g. Taxonomy of the Cactaceae)

Incomplete lists

When a list is incomplete, you are encouraged to mark it with IncompleteList or IncompleteListM.
