Taxonomy templates
Taxobox templates
- Which should be used?
- Changing the taxa displayed
- Convert a taxobox to an automated taxobox
- Glossary of automated taxobox parameters
- 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
- Virusbox – for viruses and non-cellular life
- Paraphyletic group – for concepts that do not correspond to a monophyletic clade
Template:Virusbox displays an automatic taxobox for viruses and other non-cellular life forms.
Usage
The parameters are generally a subset of those for Template:Speciesbox or Template:Automatic taxobox. However, this template ensures that names are italicized for all viral taxa except those of ranks below species. The International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses taxonomy should be used.
Basic parameters for ranks of genus or higher, or species where it is necessary to have a species taxonomy template:
{{Virusbox
| image =
| image_alt =
| image_caption =
| taxon = (taxon that has a taxonomy template)
| synonyms =
| synonyms_ref =
| subdivision_ranks =
| subdivision =
}}
Basic parameters for species, where a taxonomy template for the species is not needed:
{{Virusbox
| image =
| image_alt =
| image_caption =
| parent = (genus or subgenus that has a taxonomy template)
| species = (species that does not have a taxonomy template)
| synonyms =
| synonyms_ref =
| subdivision_ranks =
| subdivision =
}}
Ranks below species – a single rank below species, e.g. a strain or a serotype, can be added to a template like that shown above, when neither the below-species taxon nor the species has a taxonomy template. Multiple ranks below species should be set up using taxonomy templates.
If |name= is not specified, the taxobox name (header) will default to the taxon that is the target of the taxobox. This is different from other taxobox templates, where the page name (page title) is the default. One reason is that a virus taxobox may be included in an articles on a diseases caused by the virus, so the page name is not appropriate.
