Template:Taxobox/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Taxobox (see that page for the template itself). It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |

This template employs intricate features of template syntax. You are encouraged to familiarise yourself with its setup and parser functions before editing the template. If your edit causes unexpected problems, please undo it quickly, as this template may appear on a large number of pages. Remember that you can conduct experiments, and should test all improvements, in either the general Template sandbox or your user space before changing anything here. |

for more detailed instructions on usage, see WP:TAXOBOX. |
This template sets up a taxobox, with a choice of over 135 parameters. Although the implementation is complicated, it is relatively simple to use. For an example in practice, look at the edit page of Killer Whale - [1]. Most parameters are optional, so if a particular entry is not relevant for your case, just leave it out.
Before making any non-minor changes to this template, please make a copy of the whole template to the sandbox and do tests with it there. You can check it with the test cases, perhaps adding other test cases to check any features you are adding. This will avoid unnecessary load on the servers and prevent a large number of pages being screwed up.

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) and by Swignition.
Wikipedia editors are invited to comment on or contribute to the development of this microformat, via the above links.
The microformat is created by the use of class="biota", 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.
