About this template

The implementation of this template is scarier than its usage. For one example of how to use it see the the edit page of Orca - http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Orca&action=edit. Most parameters are optional, so if a particular entry is not relevant for your case, just leave it out. See the taxobox usage for an explanation.


Suggested parameters

Great work bringing on the new template!... but there are still a couple of parameters missing.

Firstly, I need to be able to specify taxa at "Section" and "Series" rank. See Taxonomy of Banksia for evidence of a number of non-existent species articles, for which these ranks will be needed when I get around to writing them.

Secondly, the "Diversity" option was very useful. I used it at Banksia to state the number of species, since the subdivision was at subgenus rank. It is also very useful for higher taxa such as families and orders.

Thirdly, the "Synonyms" option was also useful, and should be included here.

Bug

Jarrah
Conservation status
Template:StatusSecure
Scientific classification
Kingdom: Plantae
Division: Magnoliophyta
Class: Magnoliopsida
Order: Myrtales
Family: Myrtaceae
Genus: Eucalyptus
Species: E. marginata
Binomial name
Eucalyptus marginata
Donn ex Sm.
Subspecies

E. marginata subsp. marginata
E. marginata subsp. thalassica

The following template code would appear correct, but produces the incorrect box on the right:

{{Taxobox
 | color = lightgreen
 | name = Jarrah
 | status = {{StatusSecure}}
 | regnum = ]ae
 | divisio = ]
 | classis = ]
 | ordo = ]
 | familia = ]
 | genus = '']''
 | species = '''''E. marginata'''''
 | binomial = ''Eucalyptus marginata''
 | binomial_authority = ] ex ]
 | subdivision_ranks = Subspecies
 | subdivision = ''E. marginata'' subsp. ''marginata''<br/>
''E. marginata'' subsp. ''thalassica''
}}
