Template:Taxon link
 | This template uses Lua: |
This template is no longer used within the automated taxobox system; its functions are performed within Module:Autotaxobox. It is left available for testing purposes only.
It creates a wikilinked taxon name for use in a taxobox or other listing of taxa, dealing appropriately with italicization, the extinct indication "†" and the query indication "(?)".
The necessary information is obtained from "Template:Taxonomy/taxon", which must exist.
