What is a cladogram:
A cladogram is an infographic that shows the relationships of scientific taxa. These can be useful to show how animals are related in almost any article on organisms.
What can have a cladogram:
Any article with enough information in the literature about its systematics can have a cladogram added. A single cladogram can be used on multiple articles.
Exception: Cladograms cannot be created in situations where the taxon has not appeared in at least one published analysis. Linnaean systematics cannot be translated into cladograms. Original research cladograms are not allowed.
Formats for cladograms:
The most significant features of cladograms can often be altered to fit specific articles with limited space.
The font size can be reduced with larger cladograms so that less space is taken up.
Default font size is 85% point size but can be changed between 75 and 100% upon request.
Line lengths affect how far the cladogram reaches across the page.
To fit images in the whitespace beside a cladogram with over 15 taxa a size below 90% is recommended, but sizes upwards that can be used to fill the cladogram across the whole article left-right.
Boxing a cladogram can allow for it to be positioned in line with text, and onto specific sides of a page.
Exception: Very large cladograms (~40+ taxa) should never be boxed, as they will take up far too much vertical space.
When specific formats are wanted please mention them in the cladogram request, otherwise Cladogram Creators will use their own discretion.
Images in cladograms:
Images like silhouettes or lateral views of skulls or life restorations can be added to cladograms
Note: when adding images, it is important to ensure that |middle is placed before the |thumb or equivalent, otherwise Firefox will render the images aligned to the bottom of the text and the taxon named will become uncentered.
Tips for Cladogram Creators:
Try to avoid edit conflicts by promptly replying to all requests that you intend to work on. Losing all your progress isn't fun.
Feel free to ask for help from others, we're all in this together.
Keep the OR rules in mind when creating cladograms. Don't add unpublished information to them.
Requesting bordered cladogram on the based on the Panthera lineage from this paper, specifically the Biparental Nuclear Genome side. Thank you. LittleJerry (talk) 23:45, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, I would like for figure 1 of Qiu et al (2024) to be made into a cladogram usable on wiki please. Thanks in advance. Olmagon (talk) 12:49, 22 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hope this is fine. Didn't know if you wanted to include the outgroup V. berus, so I made 2 versions. —Trilletrollet [ Talk | Contribs ] 15:39, 22 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
