Template:Taxobox
 | This template is used on approximately 93,000 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
This template sets up a manual taxobox, as a right-side infobox table setting out the biological classification (taxonomy) for a group of living things. For guide to automated taxoboxes, see WP:Automated taxobox system/intro.
Although with a choice of over 160 parameters, the implementation is complicated, it is relatively simple to use. Most parameters are optional, so if a particular entry is not relevant for your case, just leave it out. See below section "All parameters" for a complete list.
This guide has come out of WikiProject Tree of life.

Plants[kulemba source]
The majority of plants are angiosperms ("flowering plants"). Wikipedia:WikiProject Plants consensus is to use the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group's APG III classification system for angiosperms. The APG III system does not have formally named divisions or classes, but includes several hierarchically nested, informally named clades. The hierarchy of informally named clades is presented by using parameters such as |unranked divisio= in place of formal rank parameters. Articles on non-flowering plants (e.g. conifers, ferns) should continue to use formal divisions and classes in the Taxobox.

Viruses[kulemba source]
Although for historical reasons, parameters currently exist for virus taxa, the template is not appropriate for viruses, whose classification uses different ranks, italicization and naming rules. Use the automated taxobox {{Virusbox}} instead.
Parameters[kulemba source]
Name[kulemba source]
Provided under this parameter should be the single most common vernacular name when one is in widespread use, or a single current scientific name otherwise.
- Common names of higher taxa are always given in sentence case (rather than title case) and in the plural (e.g. marine hatchetfishes).
- Common names of species and subspecies are also to be given in sentence case but in the singular (e.g. black crowned crane, Colorado potato beetle).
The name parameter should not be used to incorporate more than one name. It is only a header and not meant to be an inclusive "names" field. One will suffice. Please assess the relevant literature in deciding which.
Color[kulemba source]
The color is automatically assigned based on the entry for a number of ranks from |phylum= upwards (see Template:Taxobox); there is normally no need to specify it manually, although |color_as= can be used.
| Animalia | rgb(235,235,210) | |
|---|---|---|
| Archaea | rgb(195,245,250) | also Nanoarchaeota (Nanarchaeota), Korarchaeota, Thaumarchaeota, Crenarchaeota and Euryarchaeota |
| Archaeplastida | rgb(180,250,180) | also Plantae and Viridiplantae |
| Bacteria | rgb(220,235,245) | |
| Eukaryota | rgb(245,215,255) | For eukaryotes with no other colour defined, including Excavata, Amoebozoa and Opisthokonta |
| Fungi | rgb(145,250,250) | |
| Ichnotaxa | rgb(230,222,214) | |
| incertae sedis | rgb(250,240,230) | |
| SAR | rgb(200,250,80) | also Chromalveolata |
| Ootaxa | rgb(250,250,220) | |
| Viruses | rgb(250,250,190) | also Viroids |
Classification[kulemba source]
As noted above, the classification section includes some or all of the following:
| regnum = | phylum = | classis = | ordo = | familia = | genus = | species =
Each entry corresponds to a containing group, except for the last, which should be the group under consideration. Note the entries use the Latin names for the ranks, to make porting between Wikipedias easier. Thus the above correspond to the kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species.
| Red wood ant | |
|---|---|
| Scientific classification | |
| Kingdom: | |
| Phylum: | |
| Class: | |
| Order: | |
| Family: | |
| Subfamily: | |
| Tribe: | |
| Genus: | |
| Species: | F. rufa
|
| Binomial name | |
| Formica rufa Linnaeus, 1761
| |
Taxoboxes should include all major ranks above the taxon described in the article, plus minor ranks that are important to understanding the classification of the taxon described in the article, or which are discussed in the article. Other minor ranks should be omitted.
For example, in the taxobox for the genus Formica, it's appropriate to include entries for tribe and subfamily, since those are an aid to understanding how Formica relates to other genera in the family Formicidae. But it wouldn't be appropriate to include the superorder Endopterygota, since all genera of ants are in that superorder; it isn't particularly interesting at this level.
Another example is the subfamily Bambusoideae, the bamboos. This subfamily probably should be mentioned in the taxobox of every bamboo species, since it is a major grouping in this context, despite its minor rank.
Minor ranks are included in the same way as major ranks, for example:
| classis = ... | subclassis = ... | superordo = ... | ordo = ...
Note that species and subspecies should be given using the abbreviated forms of their name—e.g. H. sapiens, H. s. sapiens. The epithets should not be given by themselves. The full form of the species or subspecies name is given in the binomial or trinomial section.
See #All parameters for a complete list.
Classification status[kulemba source]
With the |classification_status= parameter, it is possible to introduce extra text within parentheses after "Scientific classification". For example, |classification_status=disputed will produce "Scientific classification (disputed)". See Baranophrys for a current example where this parameter is used. This parameter should only be used when the "Scientific classification" text would be misleading without it.
Divisions and sections[kulemba source]
These ranks have different meanings in zoology and botany.
In botany:
- Use divisio for division (a rank above class and below kingdom)
- Use sectio for section (a rank above species and below genus)
Note: Certain very large genera, e.g. Rhododendron include subsections
In zoology:
- Use zoodivisio for division (a rank above family and below order)
- Use zoosectio for section (a rank above family and below order)
Unranked taxa[kulemba source]
For each major taxon from family to phylum, you can add an unranked entry to the taxobox. The entry unranked_X appears above rank X, for example unranked_superfamilia appears above family and superfamily and below order, suborder, infraorder, etc.:
| ordo = | unranked_superfamilia = | familia =
For animals and non-flowering plants, use unranked taxa sparingly. The need to include unranked taxa generally indicates that you are following phylogenetic nomenclature. It is usually better to abbreviate the classification to the major ranks and then discuss the classification in more detail in the article.
Unranked taxa of flowering plants[kulemba source]
Flowering plants (angiosperms) make frequent use of unranked taxa. The APG III system of classification used for flowering plants on Wikipedia does not have formally named ranks above order—e.g. divisions, classes, subclasses—but includes several hierarchically nested, informally named and unranked clades. For flowering plants the taxobox should include |unranked_divisio=Angiosperms in place of |divisio=, |unranked_classis= in place of |classis=, and possibly also |unranked_subclassis= in place of |subclassis=. Flowering plant taxoboxes may often include three to four informal hierarchical groups above the rank of order, making the use of |unranked_ordo= necessary, which sorts itself just above |ordo= where a formally named order is displayed. The unranked parameters only include ranks in their parameter names, such as "unranked divisio" to allow the editor to place content hierarchically; no approximation of rank is intended by the use of these parameter names. For flowering plant articles using the APG III system of classification, the regular parameters including |divisio=, |classis=, and |subclassis= should not be used or it will display between these unranked APG III clades.
To comply with #Classification above and its advice on the inclusion of major ranks, the following are considered major ranks in APG III and currently included in the appropriate flowering plant taxoboxes:
- Angiosperms
- Magnoliids
- Monocots
- Eudicots
- Core eudicots (displayed as a major rank when the plant is not included further nested in rosids or asterids)
Note: The rosids contain two clades, the fabids (also known as eurosids I) and malvids (also known as eurosids II), and the asterids contain two further clades, the lamiids (euasterids I) and campanulids (euasterids II). These are considered to be minor ranks and are only to be displayed on the articles on orders or families they immediately contain.
A taxobox for a flowering plant will thus generally include the following parameters:
| regnum = [[Plantae]] | unranked_divisio = [[Angiosperms]] | unranked_classis = | unranked_ordo = | ordo =
Bold/italic markup[kulemba source]
Italicization must be done manually in all parameters. If the entry for genus, species or binomial (with manually added italics) matches the page title,[note 1] then the name of the taxobox and the title of the page will be italicized. Note that if the |name= parameter is used the page title will not be automatically italicized. The taxobox's name will be set to exactly what is specified in |name= – italics must be specified manually in this case.
Genus, species, and subspecies should be italicized whenever used, as is the biological standard. For instance, we talk about the genus Homo, the species Homo sapiens, and the subspecies Homo sapiens sapiens.
- In botany, it is important to include the rank for taxa below species. The rank is not italicized, e.g. Genus species subsp. subspecies var. variety.
- Some bacteria that have been characterized but not formally named are given Candidatus names. These should be written in the form Candidatus Genus species, rather than italicized normally.
Higher taxa like families may or may not be italicized in different publications. The prevalent standard for Wikipedia is not to italicize them, except in the case of viruses and other infectious particles.
Bolding is used to indicate the subject of the article. The |name=, |binomial=, and |trinomial= parameters bold automatically. In the placement section—|regnum= through |species=—the final taxon should be bolded, as well as any higher groups that only include the final taxon. See green sulfur bacteria for an example.
Subdivisions[kulemba source]
| Nettle | |
|---|---|

| Kingdom: | |
| (unranked): | |
| (unranked): | |
| (unranked): | |
| Order: | |
| Family: | |
| Genus: | Urtica |
| Species | |
| |
Groups above the rank of species (and even species if there are several notable subspecies) should usually include a list of subgroups. Use the |subdivision= parameter for the list. The list can be formatted using a number of templates, such as the specialized {{linked taxon list}} and {{linked species list}}, which deal with authorities as well (see the documentation at Template:Taxon list for variant templates), or using a general list template such as {{columns-list}}. Use the |subdivision_ranks= parameter to say what rank the subgroups have. For instance, for families in an order:
| subdivision_ranks = Families
| subdivision =
{{linked taxon list
|Family1|Authority1
|Family2|Authority2
|Family3|Authority3
}}
For lists with more than a few subgroups, the list can be bracketed with {{div col}} and {{div col end}}, which will split the list into two columns (see Nettle example at right). In cases where a list would make the taxobox too long, or where the classification is too variable to allow a brief summary, the list should be replaced with a comment like "See text" or the subdivision section should be omitted. As a rule of thumb, when there are more than 100 subgroups the list should be in a separate article.
In cases where the classification is variable, a description like "Typical orders" or "Notable orders" may be used.
In cases where the ranks are uncertain, a description like "Subgroups" or "Taxa" may be preferable. Sometimes it is convenient to represent more than one level of classification in the list. In that case the lower level groups are moved over to the right by prefixing them with characters—usually three for the first level of indentation, and then one to three more for each subsequent level. Major grades may also be represented by bolded headers, as on plant and heterokont. Remember, though, these should mainly be done when the intermediate rank subgroups are not worthy of separate articles; taxoboxes are too small to include too much duplicate information.
Conservation status[kulemba source]
Conservation status may optionally be included to show a graphical view of the conservation status. It is composed from a set of parameters according to the following structure:
|status = code |status_system = classification system—required if code is set |status_ref = <ref>...</ref>—optional |extinct = year of extinction—optional (only use if |status=EX and year of extinction is known)
Notes:
- Conservation status is not appropriate for prehistoric organisms—use the
|fossil_range=parameter. - Some automated taxoboxes also use
|extinct=for a different purpose—see Template:Speciesbox#Extinct species.
Status system[kulemba source]
There are several organizations declaring conservation status, and this has led to different classification and criteria. For this reason a status level must also be specified together with the classification system used.
The recommended status_system to use is IUCN3.1, but if not available for the species, other systems are supported. Details and other systems are listed at Wikipedia:Conservation status. Images to the right provide examples of the available systems, both international and national. IUCN2.3 is deprecated for new boxes, although some taxoboxes still exist and are supported for this version.
This parameter is required in order to display the proper conservation status graphic. Failure to use this parameter will result in no graphic appearing.
Status code[kulemba source]
Set the relevant status code from the selected system. The code should use upper and lower case as specified per system documentation. It may also be possible to use a template instead of the code[citation needed].
You can search the IUCN's database of threatened species to find the conservation status of many organisms.
With each system having different codes, please refer to system documentation for the available codes.
The following list is kept in the documentation for historic reasons (the third column shows the category that is automatically added to the article):
IUCN statuses in taxoboxes Status (as shown in taxobox) Code Category assigned Secure secure[IUCN 1] Domesticated DOM[IUCN 1] Category:Domesticated animals Least Concern (LC) LC Least Concern (LR/lc) LR/lc Near Threatened (NT) NT Near Threatened (LC/nt) LR/nt Conservation Dependent (LR/cd) LR/cd Vulnerable (VU) VU Endangered (EN) EN Category:Endangered species Critically Endangered CR Category:Critically endangered species Critically Endangered (CR), possibly extinct PE Category:Critically endangered species Extinct in the wild (EW) EW Category:Species extinct in the wild Extinct EX Data deficient (DD) DD Not evaluated (NE) NE Fossil fossil[IUCN 1][IUCN 2] Prehistoric pre[IUCN 1] See text See text[IUCN 1] Lower Risk LR[IUCN 1][IUCN 3]
Notes:
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5 This is not a valid IUCN Red List category
- ↑
|status=fossilis deprecated in favour of|fossil_range={{fossil range}} (see the #Fossil range section below). - ↑ LR is deprecated; use LR/lc or LR/nt or LR/cd instead.
Referencing conservation status[kulemba source]
To add a reference for the status, use:
| status_ref = <ref>{{Cite journal | author = |title = | journal = [[The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species]] | volume = | page = | publisher = [[International Union for Conservation of Nature]] | date = | url = | doi = | access-date = }}</ref>
See {{Cite journal}} or {{Cite iucn}} for the parameters you need to supply to that template. And don't forget that <ref> requires a corresponding {{Reflist}} or <references /> in the References section.
Fossil range[kulemba source]
The stratigraphic range for groups known as fossils may also be included, using the |fossil_range= parameter. For instance, for a group known from the Cambrian to the Permian:
|fossil_range = [[Cambrian]]–[[Permian]]
You may wish to add a diagrammatic representation of the fossil range (as shown below), which can be created using the {{Fossil range}} template, for example:
| fossil_range = {{fossil range|Cambrian|Permian}}
or
| fossil_range = {{fossil range|542|250}} [[Cambrian]]–[[Permian]]
For extant taxa that continue into the present day, the ending period should be set to "Recent" or as "Holocene" for Late Quaternary extinctions such as the moa, and the current status should be indicated using the |status= parameter.
For groups that only existed during a single period, simply list it without giving a range: e.g.:
| fossil_range = {{fossil range|Silurian}}
Images[kulemba source]
An image can be included using the parameter |image=. It is highly recommended that an image be provided if one is available. Do not include the "File:" part of the image file name!
If an image is included, alt text should be provided using parameter "|image_alt=". Alt text should not repeat the caption; instead, it should describe the image contents to someone who can't see it (see WP:ALT).
A caption can be provided using parameter "|image_caption=". A caption need not be provided if it would just repeat the title of the article. It should be provided if it can convey any additional information about the image, such as the sex or life stage of the individual, the location where the picture was taken, the artist (if an engraving or other illustration), or (for higher taxa) the particular species depicted.
| image = Sweetbay1082.jpg | image_alt = White flower surrounded by long green leaves | image_caption = ''Magnolia virginiana''
By default, the image width is determined by each user's default thumbnail size preference. In general, it is recommended that these preferences be honoured. In some cases, however, it may be desirable to overrule the default size; this can be achieved by use of the |image_upright= parameter, which scales the image. Thus |image_upright=1.1 makes the image 10% larger than the user's default thumbnail size; |image_upright=0.75 makes it 25% smaller. See MOS:IMGSIZE for more information.
| image = Sweetbay1082.jpg | image_alt = White flower surrounded by long green leaves | image_caption = ''Magnolia virginiana'' | image_upright = 1.45
Long or complex image captions, which should rarely be necessary, look better when left-aligned. This can be achieved using "|image_caption_align=left".
A second image may be added by use of the |image2=, |image2_alt=, |image2_caption= and |image2_upright= parameters. Use this sparingly, and only when the article is long enough, and when it makes sense to include the second image inside the taxobox and not later in the article. Camel is a good example (a genus with two well-known representatives). A second image may also be useful for species that display sexual dimorphism so that both a male and female representative could be shown, e.g. Northern cardinal.
Authorities[kulemba source]
Generally, an authority should be given only for the taxa covered by the article. Higher groups which only include the article subject should also list authorities unless those are the same as for the taxa in question. In the case of species (or subspecies) the authority may be given in the binomial (or trinomial) section. Otherwise authorities may be listed in the placement section. For instance, for an order:
| ordo = | ordo_authority =
The following examples illustrate the different conventions for names, dates, and punctuations in the different kingdoms.
- Animalia
- Plantae
- Bacteria
- Original name valid: Vibrio cholerae R. Koch 1883
- Organism reclassified: Streptococcus pneumoniae (Klein 1884) Chester 1901 (originally Micrococcus pneumoniae)
- Old name revived: Salmonella enterica (ex Kauffmann & Edwards 1952) Le Minor & Popoff 1987
Authorities in scientific names are also abbreviated according to different standards for plants and animals. To decipher standard abbreviations, see
- List of botanists by author abbreviation or consult the International Plant Names Index.
- List of zoologists by author abbreviation
For more information refer to the article on binomial nomenclature.
Diversity[kulemba source]
In higher taxa, and taxa where the subdivision option does not indicate number of species, the |diversity= parameter may be used. This needs to be accompanied by |diversity_link= which links to an appropriate page, usually a List of ... species page. See, for example, Banksia: the subdivision lists only two subgenera, so the |diversity= option is used to specify the number of species.
| diversity_link = List of Quercus species | diversity = c. 120 species
It is not a good idea to be too precise about the number of species. New species are still being regularly described in many groups. Moreover, changing systematic treatment is liable to alter the species number even in well-known genera. Rounding off the species number and denoting this as approximate value will help decreasing maintenance.
Use the |diversity_ref= parameter to give references for the number of species, for example:
| diversity_ref = <ref>Hershler and Longley, 1986, p. 127</ref>
Range maps[kulemba source]
A range map may be included at the end of the taxobox. This uses the |range_map=, |range_map_upright=, |range_map_alt=, and |range_map_caption= parameters, in the same manner as an image. Specifying range map width is unnecessary in most cases. See leopard (land animal), northern flicker (non-migratory bird), lesser spotted eagle (migratory bird) and orca (water animal) for examples.
| range_map = Map.jpg | range_map_upright = 1.1 | range_map_alt = Map showing ... | range_map_caption = Range of ...
Up to four range maps can be included, via additional parameters such as |range_map2=, |range_map2_caption=, etc.
You can generate maps using an appropriate blank map such as Image:BlankMap-World-noborders.png. Do not make the distribution map too large (a width of 300 to 400 should be sufficient, the purpose of the map being a rough global overview; more detailed maps can always go to the article body) and add the map to Category:Habitat maps, or, preferably, if you upload the map to Commons, to commons:Category:Animal distribution maps.
Synonyms[kulemba source]
Where a species has synonyms, the |synonyms= parameter may be used. The list of synonyms can be formatted using the same approach as for Subdivisions, but synonyms should not normally be linked, so e.g. {{Taxon list}} should be used for taxa whose names aren't italicized and {{Species list}} for those whose names are.
| synonyms =
{{Species list
|Species1|Authority1
|Species2|Authority2
}}
Nomenclator Zoologicus has data for all but the most recently established animal genera. This may be hard to understand for non-specialists, but it is a comprehensive source for the authorship of genus names, both valid ones and junior synonyms. Sometimes one will note that a new name has been established because the older, original name was "preoccupied". This means it has already been established for another taxon of the same rank in the same kingdom before—even if that name is now a synonym too. Taxa that preoccupy a name can be linked in the Synonyms section, such as Stenorhynchus here.
Use |synonyms_ref= to give references for the synonym list, for example:
| synonyms_ref = <ref>Smith and Jones, 2009, p. 5 </ref>
Type species[kulemba source]
When the type species of a genus (or larger grouping) is known, the |type_species= and |type_species_authority= can be used.
For botanical entries, i.e. names under the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (ICN), the currently accepted name in the genus should be used. The term "type species" does not occur in the ICN, but is used here for convenience. The Index Nominum Genericorum is a useful source of information and can be used as a reference.
For animal entries, i.e. names under the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN), the type species should be the original binomial name of the type species, but linked to its current article, and the authority should be plain (no parentheses). See Mirza for a type species example.
| type_species = the original name of the species that was initially used to describe the genus, without regard to its present-day nomenclature | type_species_authority =
This follows ICZN Recommendation 67B; be aware that this means the taxon used by the genus' original author—even if it is now invalid, e.g. a junior synonym. Ideally, it should only be used if the genus' original description can be verified first-hand. As per the following example given by the ICZN:
Astacus marinus Fabricius, 1775, one of the nominal species originally included in the decapod crustacean genus Homarus Weber, 1795, was subsequently designated by Fowler (1912) as the type species of Homarus. The type species is, and should be cited as, Astacus marinus Fabricius, 1775. Astacus marinus Fabricius is currently synonymized with Cancer gammarus Linnaeus, 1758, but the latter is not the type species of Homarus and should not be cited as such. If mention of the type species is required it should be made in some such manner as "Type species Astacus marinus Fabricius, 1775, a junior synonym of Cancer gammarus Linnaeus, 1758"; or "Type species Astacus marinus Fabricius, 1775, now regarded as a synonym of Homarus gammarus (Linnaeus, 1758)".
If you do not completely understand what this all means, please do not use this parameter. Instead, if possible denote the type species in the species listing, for example with a
{{small|1=([[type species]])}}
after the species' (currently valid) name.
Italic page titles[kulemba source]
If the value of |genus=, |species=, or |binomial= is italicized and exactly matches the title of the page, and |name= is unspecified, the taxobox and page title will be italicized automatically.[note 2] If necessary, it is also possible to force the page title to display in italics using the {{Italic title}} template.
If the |name= parameter is present, then the taxobox will display whatever is in |name=; the page title will NOT be italicized unless {{italic title}} is used.
Complete blank template[kulemba source]
This section gives all parameters in the order that they will appear in the taxobox. No taxobox should use all of these. Keep it short! Note that parameters in this template are case-sensitive.

Articles lacking taxoboxes[kulemba source]
For articles lacking taxoboxes, add Template:Missing-taxobox to the talk page. This may be done by typing {{Missing-taxobox}} or {{needtaxobox}} at the top of the talk page.
Microformat[kulemba source]
This template emits a "species" (or "biota") microformat.
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}}} (full list). Please do not change or remove those classes other than as part of development of the microformat. For background information, see microformats on Wikipedia and the microformat specification.

Notes[kulemba source]
- ↑ If the page is called, for example, "Homo (genus)", then the taxobox will display "Homo" and the page title "Homo (genus)".
- ↑ See note 1; the title of the page will be italicized using the {{DISPLAYTITLE}} magic word. When the page name contains the disambiguator "(alga)" or "(genus)", this disambiguator will not be italicized (e.g., Ia (genus)).
