{{[[Module:{{{1}}}|#invoke:{{{1}}}]]|function}}

This module is still under development.

Its purpose is to provide support for the automated taxobox templates (such as {{Automatic taxobox}} or {{Speciesbox}}), and in particular to provide ways of traversing taxonomic hierarchies encoded in taxonomy templates while avoiding Mediawiki template expansion depth errors.

Taxobox colour

Given a taxon name, this function determines the correct colour of an automated taxobox for that taxon.

Usage:

{{#invoke:Autotaxobox|Taxobox colour|taxon_name}}

Parameters:

The unnamed parameter should be the name of a taxon for which there exists "Template:Taxonomy/taxon_name".
