Usage[edit source]
The template returns information held in "Template:Taxonomy/taxon". The information is ultimately returned by one of the "Don't edit this line" variant templates.
{{Taxon info|taxon|item}}
item has one of the following primary values:
parent–{{Taxon info|Felis|parent}}→ Felinaerank–{{Taxon info|Pteranodon|rank}}→ genuslink target–{{Taxon info|Pteranodon|link_target}}→ Pteranodonplain link text–{{Taxon info|Pteranodon|plain_link_text}}→ Pteranodonextinct–{{Taxon info|Pteranodon|extinct}}→ yesalways display–{{Taxon info|Araneomorphae|always_display}}→ truerefs–{{Taxon info|Chenistonia|refs}}→ "Gen. Chenistonia Hogg, 1901", World Spider Catalog, Natural History Museum Bern, retrieved 2017-01-02same as–{{Taxon info|Avialae/skip|same_as}}→ Avialae
One same_as link will be followed, if it is present and the direct value of the item is the empty string. Thus Template:Taxonomy/Corallinaceae/stem-group has |same as=Corallinaceae plus |rank=stem-group, so all other values are obtained from Template:Taxonomy/Corallinaceae:
parent–{{Taxon info|Corallinaceae/stem-group|parent}}→ Corallinalesrank–{{Taxon info|Corallinaceae/stem-group|rank}}→ stem grouplink target–{{Taxon info|Corallinaceae/stem-group|link_target}}→ Coralline algaeplain link text–{{Taxon info|Corallinaceae/stem-group|plain_link_text}}→ Corallinaceae
extinct–{{Taxon info|Corallinaceae/stem-group|extinct}}→always display–{{Taxon info|Corallinaceae/stem-group|always_display}}→ truerefs–{{Taxon info|Corallinaceae/stem-group|refs}}→same as–{{Taxon info|Corallinaceae/stem-group|same_as}}→ Corallinaceae
A special case is if the item requested has the value all. In this case, no
same_as link is followed. All the values in the taxon's taxonomy template will be returned, separated by "$", in the order parent$rank$link$link_text$always_display$extinct$same_as$refs.
{{Taxon info|Corallinaceae/stem-group|all}}→ $stem group$$$$$Corallinaceae${{Taxon info|Corallinaceae|all}}→ Corallinales$familia$Coralline algae$Corallinaceae$$$$
