197:. Often, an automated taxobox can be set up virtually no parameters at all. Even the target taxon can be omitted, since the system will attempt to obtain the name of the taxon from the title of the article. Even when it works, however, this is not regarded as best practice; for one reason, the

If you need to display a certain number of parent taxa, adding a number here will force that many parent taxa to appear. This should generally be used only when a taxon has only one child taxon, in which case the article would need to display the parent of that taxon.

In most cases, there is no reason to use this parameter. If used, whatever is entered here will display in single brackets in place of the letter "e". This is the "edit taxonomy" link which allows readers to easily access the taxonomy for quick, universal edits.

When moving an article to another title, always check to see that the taxon parameter is present, to ensure the taxonomy continues to display properly. Additionally, you will need to update the display link on the taxonomy template. See

In the great majority of cases, the template will automatically assign a color to the taxobox based on one of the higher taxa to which it belongs (e.g. Animalia, Fungi, Plantae, Bacteria). If this fails for some reason, use
