Usage
This template formats taxonomic name links. If it is used for a taxonomic name for which Wiktionary has an entry, it links to that entry along with a link to the Wikispecies page for that taxon. If not, only Wikispecies is linked to.
It requires a parameter to indicate what level the taxon is, e.g., family, tribe, genus, species, or epithet – including for binomial names.
Parameters
- Numbered parameters
|1=- The taxon.
|2=- The level (rank) of the taxon: family, tribe, genus, subgenus, section, subsection, species, subspecies, variety, form, forma; clade, informal group, and nothospecies should be specified, including for binomial names.
|3=- An optional parameter for an alternative display name, the default being parameter 1 with the correct italicization (for genera and sub-generic taxa). But see
|i= below.
|i=- Indicates that the term should appear entirely in italics, no matter what the built-in logic of italicization says. This is principally relevant for virus taxa, which are all supposed to appear in italics.
