Module:Autotaxobox/doc

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

This module is still under development.

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

taxoboxColour

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

Usage:

{{#invoke:Autotaxobox|taxoboxColour|taxon_name}}

Parameters:

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

Utilities

These functions are intended to be used only in analysing taxonomic hierarchies, e.g. in testing and debugging, and not for direct use in templates used in the automated taxobox system.

nth

Given a taxon name, this function returns the nth taxon above it in the taxonomic hierarchy.

Usage:

{{#invoke:Autotaxobox|nth|taxon_name}}

Parameters:

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