Usage
The template is to be used only from within {{Speciesbox}}. It has two functions: to add {{Italic title}} to the page if appropriate, and to return a name for the taxobox.
Use: {{Speciesbox/name|name|taxon|genus|species|pagenamebase|italic_title}}
If pagenamebase is the full name of the species or the name of the genus (with any disambiguator stripped off) then the page title is italicized (unless italic_title is no).
If name is not specified, pagenamebase is returned as the name, italicized if appropriate.
For examples of use, see Template:Speciesbox/name/testcases.
