Usage
This template is transcluded from every taxonomy template page (i.e. every page whose name is of the form "Template:Taxonomy/taxon") when |machine code= is not specified. This should only happen when viewing a taxonomy template page. It uses function callTaxonomyKey in Module:Autotaxobox to prepare for and then use {{Taxonomy key}} to display the taxonomy template page in a more readable form.
As an example, see Template:Taxonomy/Felis – the display is created by {{Don't edit this line |rank=genus |link=Felis |parent=Felinae}} given that |machine code= is not given a value.
The template places a taxonomy template in one of the following tracking categories:
- Category:Taxonomy templates – all 'normal' taxonomy templates
- Category:Taxonomy templates for species – subcategory
- Category:Taxonomy templates with qualified names – subcategory
- Category:Taxonomy templates with query – subcategory
