Template:Demonym/doc

demonym should be used on all species pages where the location of the species is known, but the "proper" species name is not. A good example is the Taran horse. We know the name of the planet, and we know it's a kind of horse, but it's unlikely to be directly related to the Earth horse, since Tara is not a known Earth colony. Thus, the best we can do is say is that it's a "horse from Tara".

This is not the same condition as a conjectural title, because we are factually stating a location. Still, readers should be made aware of the fact that it's not a proper species name. It's a bit like using the terms "New Yorker" or "Liverpudlian" instead of "human".

Still, we don't want to invite debate, the way conjecture does, because we're unlikely to get anything better than the demonym. This template just announces the issue and that's it.

Usage
Place  at the top of a species page. It will yield the following result, and place the page in category:Articles named with demonyms.
