How do I change the taxonomy that is displayed?
By default, the template displays only the taxonomy necessary to give context to the taxon in question. This includes any major taxonomic ranks: that is, Kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus and species; and any levels between the taxon in question and the first major rank above it. In some cases, editors may choose to display additional taxa:
- To display minor taxa above the first major-ranking taxon, increase
|display parents=(default = 1, meaning "immediate parent only"). See example above.
- To force a given taxon to appear in all its children's taxoboxes, add the line "
|always_display=true" to its taxonomy page.
- To force a given taxon to appear in only some of its children's taxoboxes is a little more complicated, but should rarely be needed.
- Create a duplicate taxon at "Template:Taxonomy/Taxon-name/displayed" (following the instructions in the edit-intro), with
|always_displayed=true - Modify the children that should display the given taxon so that their family tree points to "Taxon-name/displayed" instead of "Taxon-name".
- Create a duplicate taxon at "Template:Taxonomy/Taxon-name/displayed" (following the instructions in the edit-intro), with
