This template is used to generate [[Wikipedia:Citing sources|references]] or [[Wikipedia:External links|external links]] to the ''[[World Register of Marine Species]]'' (WoRMS). It uses {{tl|cite web}} to produce the output, and passes the publisher to that template automatically. It also contains a table of database names, to save the user from entering the database's title and editor(s). Typical usage would be:
:{|
|{{pre|{{tlf|cite WoRMS |2=author=  |3=year=  |4=title=  |5=id=  |6=access-date={{CURRENTDAY}} {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}}}
|}
For an entry that is part of one of the named databases in WoRMS, the additional <code>db=</code> parameter is used:
:{|
|{{pre|{{tlf|cite WoRMS |2=author=  |3=year=  |4=title=  |5=id=  |6=access-date={{CURRENTDAY}} {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}  |7=db=}}}}
|}
Where the entry is not in one of the names databases, <code>db=</code> can be omitted. The <code>title=</code> field should contain Wiki-formatting for italics, as appropriate. To use the template to generate an entry in the [[Wikipedia:External links#ELCITE|external links section]] of an article, omit the <code>access-date=</code> field. If the <code>author=</code> field is missing or empty, a default author of "WoRMS" will appear.

'''Example output'''
*<nowiki>{{cite WoRMS |author=P. Schuchert |year=2010 |title=''Zyzzyzus'' Stechow, 1921d |db=Hydrozoa |id=267956 |access-date=November 24, 2011}}</nowiki>
produces:
*{{cite WoRMS |author=P. Schuchert |year=2010 |title=''Zyzzyzus'' Stechow, 1921d |db=Hydrozoa |id=267956 |access-date=November 24, 2011}}

For cs2 style citations, use {{para|mode|cs2}}:
*<nowiki>{{cite WoRMS |mode=cs2 |author=P. Schuchert |year=2010 |title=''Zyzzyzus'' Stechow, 1921d |db=Hydrozoa |id=267956 |access-date=November 24, 2011}}</nowiki>
which produces:
*{{cite WoRMS |mode=cs2 |author=P. Schuchert |year=2010 |title=''Zyzzyzus'' Stechow, 1921d |db=Hydrozoa |id=267956 |access-date=November 24, 2011}}
