The taxobox can be either a manual taxobox or an automated taxobox (in this case {{Speciesbox}}); the latter is currently used in many spider articles and has the advantages of ensuring consistency and making updates easier.

Sample code for an automated taxobox

edit

All the text enclosed in «..» is replaced by actual values. The value for |authority= may require parentheses. 

{{Speciesbox
| name = «English name» <!--omit if no English name and the taxobox title should be the same as the name of the species-->
| image = 
| image_caption = 
| taxon = «genus» «species»
| authority = [[«full name»|«short name»]], «year»<ref name=WSC_s«id»/>
| synonyms = «list of synonyms with authorities»
| synonyms_ref = <ref name=WSC_g«id»/>
| range_map = 
}}

==References==
{{reflist|refs=
<ref name=WSC_s«id»>{{cite web |title=''«genus» «species»'' «author citation» |work=World Spider Catalog |publisher=Natural History Museum Bern |url=http://www.wsc.nmbe.ch/species/«id» |accessdate=«date» }}</ref>
}}

[[Category:«family»]] <!--typically; for large genera [[Category:«genus»|«specific name»]]-->
[[Category:Spiders described in «year»]]

Using an automated taxobox assumes that a template at "Template:Taxonomy/«genus»" exists or is created. See Introduction to the automated taxobox system for more information.

All the text enclosed in «..» is replaced by actual values. The value for |binomial_authority= may require parentheses.

Notes

edit

You can leave certain fields blank (image, image_caption, range_map, synonyms). They will then just be invisible until someone fills them in.

If you do create a range map (see example1, example2), please upload it to Wikimedia commons, and categorize it as "commons:Category:Spider habitat maps".

The parentheses around first author names have a meaning, please do not remove them! It means that somebody later moved the taxon to another name.

It's nice to link to an author (this way all species described by one person can easily be found). Here are two lists with the full names:
