Guidelines

The guidelines of associated WikiProjects should be used in creating content on Australia biota. For example, for the Rainbow Lorikeet article, the guidelines of WikiProject Birds should be used.

See below regarding guidelines for basic content in lead sentences and paragraphs.

Guidelines for new stubs

When a common (vernacular) name is used as the article title, the boldfaced common name is followed by the italic boldfaced scientific name in round parentheses in the first sentence of the lead. Alternative names should be mentioned and reliably sourced in the text where applicable, with bold type in the lead if they are in wide use, or elsewhere in the article (with or without the bold type, per editorial discretion) if they are less used. It is not necessary to include non-English common names, unless they are also commonly used in English, e.g. regionally; if included, they should be italicized as non-English
Thomson's gazelle (Eudorcas thomsonii)
When the article title is the scientific name, reverse the order of the scientific and common name(s) (if any of the latter are given), and boldface as well as italicize the scientific name. Avoid putting the most common name in parentheses (this will suppress its display in some views of Wikipedia, including Wikipedia:Pop-ups and Google Knowledge Graph)
Vitis vinifera, the common grape vine
