Template:Bird list header

Example: 

Introduction
This template includes a large amount of heading text that has been throughout hundreds of bird lists. This text has been put in template form for standardization and to make it easier to update.

Usage
Use to create a heading for a list of birds (use "GB" for British spelling). If you would like to add an adendum, like to show how many birds are in a region, you may type it in after the template normally. Example:  There are 38 Canadian species. An implemented example may be viewed at List of California birds. See /Code for code to copy and paste from and to see a list of currently supported families. The references section can be transcluded like the family headers with.

Dialects
If you wish to modify some of the text for a particular dialect of English, replace the text with. More dialects can be added if necessary. The last word, "color", in this example is the default in case the parameter "dialect" is not specified. It will be best to keep the default standardized to one dialect, so US will be used (not that it matters if you specify the dialect when using the template).

Expansion
More families of birds may be added and of course existing entries can be changed and expanded; just carefully follow the format already in place. If a family is added, please add the family to /Code in taxonomic order.

Edit button
The section edit button has been disabled because of an inherent limitation of using parser functions on headings. The magic word to disable those buttons is a part of the duck family. It is assumed that all pages will include ducks, but if they don't, the magic word can be added to another section too.

Assistance
You may ask User:Basar or others for assistance if you would like some part of this template added or expanded and do not know how to yourself.
