- Automatic taxobox – mainly for genera and higher taxa
- Speciesbox – for a species
- Subspeciesbox – for an animal subspecies
- Infraspeciesbox – for a plant subspecies or variety
- Hybridbox – for an animal hybrid within a genus
- Ichnobox – for a trace fossil
- Oobox – for a fossil egg

- Paraphyletic group – for concepts that do not correspond to a monophyletic clade
How do I change the taxonomy that is displayed?
By default, an automated taxobox displays only the taxonomy necessary to give context to the taxon in question. This includes any major taxonomic ranks: that is, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus and species; and the immediate parent of the taxon in question, even if not a major rank. In some cases, editors may choose to display additional taxa:
- To display more minor taxa, increase
|display parents=(default = 1, meaning "immediate parent only").
- To force a given taxon to appear in all of its children's taxoboxes, add the line "
|always_display=true" to its taxonomy template page. This should be a very rare addition.
- To force a given taxon to appear in only some of its children's taxoboxes is a little more complicated, but should also rarely be needed.
- Create a duplicate taxon at "Template:Taxonomy/taxon/displayed", with
|always_displayed=true - Modify the children that should display the given taxon so that their taxonomy template has
|parent=taxon/displayedinstead of|parent=taxon.
- Create a duplicate taxon at "Template:Taxonomy/taxon/displayed", with
