Template:Infraspeciesbox/doc

Template:Infraspeciesbox displays an automatic taxobox for a rank lower than species (an infraspecific rank) for taxa governed by the ICN (the botanical code). For taxa governed by the ICZN (the zoological code), see Template:Subspeciesbox.

At present it can only handle a subspecies or a variety (varietas), or the combination of the two, for a non-hybrid species. In particular, it does not handle forms. It also does not handle scientific names with the hybrid symbol ×, such as subspecies of hybrid species.

Usage
The parameters are generally the same as Template:Subspeciesbox, which handles subspecies whose names are governed by the Zoological Code.

Note: the example taxoboxes below show how they would look if on a page with the scientific name as the title, when the taxobox name would be set to the page title by default.

Subspecies only
Suppose that a species called Yucca grandiflora has a subspecies Y. g. subsp. laxifolia. Then:

generates →

Variety only
Suppose that the species Yucca grandiflora has a variety Y. g. var. tenuifolia, with no intervening subspecies. Then:

generates →

(The parameter "variety" can be used in place of "varietas".)

Subspecies and variety
Finally suppose that Y. g. var. tenuifolia is actually within Y. g. subsp. laxifolia. Then:

generates →

Note that the ICN does not allow Y. g. subsp. laxifolia var. tenuifolia as a name.

Authorities
If for some reason it is desired to attach authorities, this is done by working upwards from the lowest level taxon: generates →

Extinct taxa
If the genus is marked as exinct in its taxonomy template, all lower ranked taxa will be shown with †. Otherwise, three parameters can be used.
 * If the target of the taxobox, whether subspecies or varietas, is extinct but higher ranked taxa are not, use yes.
 * If the target of the taxobox is a varietas and a subspecies is included that is extinct, use yes. The varietas will also be shown as extinct.
 * If the species is extinct, use yes. The subspecies and varietas, if present, will also be shown as extinct.
