Taxonomy templates

Taxobox templates

This template is only suitable for taxa whose names are regulated by the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. For ranks below species whose names are regulated by the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants see Template:Infraspeciesbox.

Usage is almost the same as Template:Automatic taxobox, except that you need to specify:

  • |genus=name of the genus (e.g. Quercus)
  • |subgenus=link to subgenus
  • |species=specific epithet (e.g. major)
  • |species_link= (optional link to page about species; defaults to genus species)
  • |subspecies=subspecific epithet (e.g. major)

Unlike {{Speciesbox}}, |taxon= cannot be used; the three parts of the trinomial must be given separately.

If the subspecies is extinct, but the species and genus are not, then you need to specify:

  • |extinct=yes or year (in order to display the year of extinction, year is needed if |status= is set, whether or not the genus is extinct)

If the species (and hence the subspecies) is extinct, but the genus is not, then you need to specify:

  • |species_extinct=yes

An example: Template:Subspeciesbox/example

This is the TemplateData for this template used by TemplateWizard, VisualEditor and other tools. See a monthly parameter usage report for Template:Subspeciesbox in articles based on its TemplateData.

TemplateData for Subspeciesbox

An infobox for subspecies of animals (organisms governed by the ICZN) where {{tl|Automatic taxobox}} or {{tl|Speciesbox}} is used for parent taxa

Template parameters

This template prefers block formatting of parameters.

An image of a member of the subspecies, given without the File: or Image: prefix and without double brackets

ಕಡತೊಲುತೋಜ್ಪಾಯಿನ
image_uprightimage_upright

Used to adjust the displayed size of an image with an extreme aspect ratio. Values under 1.0 decrease the size of an image (most useful for very tall, narrow images) Values over 1.0 increase the size of an image (possibly useful for short, wide images)
