Revision as of 09:43, 8 November 2011

The Taxobox templates can be implemented at wikis.evergreen.edu to create an standardized way of adding biological classification data identical to what's done at wikipedia.org.

Taxobox syntax

{{Taxobox
| name = Killer whale
| image = Killerwhales jumping.jpg
| image_alt = Two killer whales jump above the sea surface...
| image_caption = Transient killer whales near [[Unimak Island]], eastern Aleutian Islands, Alaska
| regnum = [[Animal]]ia
| phylum = [[Chordate]]
| classis = [[Mammal]]ia
| ordo = [[Cetacea]]
| subordo = [[Odontoceti]]
| familia = [[Delphinidae]]
| genus = '''''Orcinus'''''
| species = '''''O. orca'''''
| binomial = ''Orcinus orca''
| binomial_authority = [[Carolus Linnaeus|Linnaeus]], 1758
| synonyms = ''Orca gladiator''
| range_map = Killer Whale Range Map.svg
| range_map_alt = A world map shows killer whales are found throughout...
| range_map_caption = ''Orcinus orca'' range (in blue)}}

Setting up Taxobox on your wiki (for wiki admins)

1. Template:!
   • subtemplate Template doc is not required
2. Template:Taxobox
   • subtemplate Template:Documentation is not required
