== Usage ==
Produces a table row for a [[taxon]] in a {{tl|taxobox}}. It is intended to be used only in other taxonomy templates, particularly [[Template:Taxobox/core]].

It takes three parameters:
*<code>rank</code> – the Latin rank of the taxon (e.g. "ordo"), which will be anglicized before display (required)
*<code>link</code> – the formatted taxon name with any wikilink to be used (required)
*<code>auth</code> – the authority for the name in the appropriate style for the relevant nomenclature code (optional)

== Examples ==
Inside a table:
*<code><nowiki>{{Taxonomy |rank=genus |link=''[[Acacia]]'' |auth=Martius}}</nowiki></code> produces
{| class="wikitable"
{{Taxonomy|rank=genus|link=''[[Acacia]]''|auth=Martius}}
|}

*<code><nowiki>{{Taxonomy |rank=classis |link=[[Mammal|Mammalia]] |auth=[[Carl Linnaeus|Linnaeus]], 1758}}</nowiki></code> produces
{| class="wikitable"
{{Taxonomy|rank=classis|link=[[Mammal|Mammalia]]|auth=[[Carl Linnaeus|Linnaeus]], 1758}}
|}

*<code><nowiki>{{Taxonomy |rank=species |link=''[[Wolf|C. lupus]]''}}</nowiki></code> produces
{| class="wikitable"
{{Taxonomy|rank=species|link=''[[Wolf|C. lupus]]''}}
|}
