Template:Principal rank/doc

Purpose
This template is one of a number of configuration templates in the automated taxobox system. It is used by Module:Autotaxobox|taxoboxList.

It tests whether its parameter, a Latinized rank, is a 'principal' Linnaean rank or not, returning 'yes' or 'no'. Editing this template will change which ranks are treated as principal, and therefore always displayed in an automated taxobox.

Ranks currently treated as principal are: realm (used for viruses), regnum, phylum, divisio, classis, ordo, familia, genus and species, plus ichno- and oo- versions of these.
