Usage

Produces a table row for a taxon in a {{taxobox}}. It is intended to be used only in other taxonomy templates, particularly Template:Taxobox/core.

It takes three parameters:

rank – the Latin rank of the taxon (e.g. "ordo"), which will be anglicized before display (required)
link – the formatted taxon name with any wikilink to be used (required)
auth – the authority for the name in the appropriate style for the relevant nomenclature code (optional)

Examples

Inside a table:

{{Taxonomy |rank=genus |link=''[[Acacia]]'' |auth=Martius}} produces

Genus:	Acacia Martius

{{Taxonomy |rank=classis |link=[[Mammal|Mammalia]] |auth=[[Carl Linnaeus|Linnaeus]], 1758}} produces

Class:	Mammalia Linnaeus, 1758

{{Taxonomy |rank=species |link=''[[Wolf|C. lupus]]''}} produces

Species:	C. lupus
