Wikipedia needs some taxonomic information before it can include "editintro/preload" in taxoboxes. Please enter the following, then press "Preview":

  • |rank= The rank of this taxon, latinized in most cases, e.g. ordo, classis, subfamilia, clade (More)
  • |link= The taxon name as it should be displayed within a link. If the name of the link is the same as the way it should be displayed, leave alone the preformatted code (this will enter the name for you automatically). Show a taxon is extinct by adding |extinct=true; leave the extinct parameter blank otherwise. (More)
  • |parent= The scientific name (not page title) of the parent taxon (in plain text, first letter only in capitals; e.g. Fungi, Cephalopoda, or in more unusual cases Leucoptera (plant) or Leucoptera (animal). See Conventions. (More)
  • |refs=Any references that support the data that you've entered.(More)
  • If the taxon is not a kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus or species, but should nevertheless be displayed in all descendant taxoboxes (this is not a common occurrence!), add the line |always_display=true (More)
