Instructions
Once you have decided on your organism, you can add it to the list above, under your taxonomic group. If that group has not been created yet, you can create your own. The following format should be used (e.g.):
Class Name (Vernacular name) <--Heading 2 font
- Species Name (Taxonomic grouping) <--Normal font
[Student Name, Year] <--Normal font
Next, once you have created your own species page, you should link it back to this page. You can do this by highlighting the text and then clicking the 'insert link' button on the top toolbar. Insert Wiki-link and choose an existing page. As such, you must have an already-created species page before you can link it!
