About this template

This template sets up a taxobox. Although the implementation is complicated, it is relatively simple to use. See taxobox usage for an explanation. For an example in practice, look at the edit page of Orca - [1]. Most parameters are optional, so if a particular entry is not relevant for your case, just leave it out.

Making changes

Before making any non-minor changes to this template, please make a copy of the whole template to your userspace and do tests there. This will avoid unnecessary load on the servers and prevent a large number of pages being screwed up. To edit and test the taxobox template in your userspace:

1. Copy the text in the large edit box of Template:Taxobox to User:YOUR USERNAME/taxobox. Copy the whole text so that you don't leave anything out.
2. Test the template with various taxonomies by copying the text of a plant/animal species or group to User:YOUR USERNAME/taxoboxtest.
3. Replace the |Taxobox|...}} template used by User:YOUR USERNAME/taxoboxtest with {{User:YOUR USERNAME/taxobox|...}}
4. If unsure, please check a few different animals and plants and groups
5. Check the Template:Taxobox history, in case changes have been made while you've been editing
6. Copy the whole text of User:YOUR USERNAME/taxobox back to {{Template:Taxobox}}
7. Check that plant and animal pages still work.
8. Request your userspace taxobox and taxoboxtest pages are deleted using {{db-userreq}}

Microformat

This template emits a "species" microformat, according to the current draft ("straw man") specification. This is recognised by the Operator extension for Firefox (using an add-in user script, itself in development).

Wikipedia editors are invited to comment on or contribute to the development of this microformat, via the above links, or the "microformats-new" mailing list.

The microformat is created by the use of class="biota" on the whole infobox, and classes for individual taxonomic ranks, such as class="domain" in a span around {{{domain}}}. Please do not change or remove those classes other than as part of development of the microformat. For background information, see microformats on Wikipedia.
