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

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

  • |genus=name of the genus; e.g. Panthera
  • |subgenus=link to subgenus if any
  • |species=specific name; e.g. leo
  • |species_link= (optional link to page about species; defaults to genus species)
  • |subspecies=subspecific name; e.g. melanochaita

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

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.

ParameterDescriptionTypeStatus
namename

Title of the taxobox; may be the English vernacular name of the subspecies

Stringoptional
imageimage

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

Filesuggested
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)

Example
0.8
Numberoptional
image_altimage_alt

Text describing what is depicted in the image

Stringoptional
image_captionimage_caption

A caption for the image, if any is necessary. Do not simply repeat the name of the taxon

Stringoptional
image2image2

An second image of a member of the subspecies, given without the File: or Image: prefix and without double brackets. It is desirable to display images of both sexes of sexually dimorphic subspecies.

Fileoptional
image2_captionimage2_caption

A caption for the second image, if any is necessary. Do not simply repeat the name of the taxon

Stringoptional
image2_uprightimage2_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)

Example
0.8
Numberoptional
statusstatus

The conservation status of the taxon as assigned by a particular authority

Example
LC
Stringoptional
status_systemstatus_system

The authority assigning a particular conservation status

Example
IUCN3.1
Stringoptional
status_refstatus_ref

A citation that supports the displayed status and status_system parameters

Stringoptional
extinctextinct

The date a subspecies was declared extinct (specifying |status=EX is required in order for the date to display). Alternatively, if a non-numeric value is given, displays † to indicate that a subspecies is extinct

Example
1066
Stringoptional
species_extinctspecies_extinct

Displays † to indicate that the parent species is extinct

Example
yes
Booleanoptional
genusgenus

Scientific name of the genus with no formatting; used in conjunction with |species and |subspecies.

Example
Homo
Stringrequired
subgenussubgenus

The subgenus containing a particular species. Any formatting or link mark-up must be manually added.

Stringoptional
species_linkspecies_link

The title of the article that is the parent species of the subspecies. Used to bypass a redirect when the species has a vernacular name title. Required when the genus is disambiguated. Should not be specified in other circumstances

Stringoptional
speciesspecies

Scientific name (species epithet) of the species with no formatting; used in conjunction with |genus and |subspecies.

Example
sapiens
Stringrequired
subspeciessubspecies

Scientific name (subspecies epithet) of the subspecies with no formatting; used in conjunction with |genus and |species.

Example
sapiens
Stringrequired
authorityauthority

The describing authority for the subspecies in the appropriate format; presence or absence of parentheses is meaningful

Example
Wilkes, 1810
Stringsuggested
range_maprange_map

The name of the image file, if any, showing the subspecies' geographic habitat

Fileoptional
range_map_uprightrange_map_upright

Used to adjust the displayed size of a range map. May be useful when the range map has an extreme aspect ratio (use values <1 for tall/narrow range maps, and >1 for short/wide range maps). May also be necessary if an image_upright parameter is specified

Example
0.8
Numberoptional
range_map_captionrange_map_caption

A caption for the range map, if any is necessary

Stringoptional
synonymssynonyms

Taxonomic synonyms. These should be displayed in a collapsed list format if there are many of them.

Stringoptional
synonyms_refsynonyms_ref

A reference supporting the synonymy shown in the list

Stringoptional
