  Wikipedia needs some taxonomic information before it can include "[[]]" in taxoboxes. Please enter the following, then press "Preview":

  • |rank= The rank of this taxon, lower-case and latinized in most cases, e.g. ordo, classis, subfamilia, oofamilia, clade. (More)
  • |link= The taxon name as it should be displayed within a link. If the name of the link is the same as the way it should be displayed, leave alone the preformatted code (this will enter the name for you automatically). If the article for the taxon is not at the taxon name, enter article title|taxon name, e.g. link=Cuckoo|Cuculidae, link=Amborella|Amborellaceae. (More)
  • |parent= The scientific name (not article title) of the parent taxon (in plain text, first letter only in capitals; e.g. Fungi, Cephalopoda, or in more unusual cases Leucoptera (plant) or Leucoptera (animal). See Title conventions. (More)
  • |extinct= Show a taxon is extinct by adding |extinct=yes; delete the extinct parameter or leave it blank otherwise.
  • |refs= List any references that support the data that you've entered. (More)
  • If the taxon is not a kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus or species, but should nevertheless be displayed in all descendant taxoboxes (this is not a common occurrence!), add the line |always_display=yes (More)
