Usage

This module provides the functionality of various automated taxoboxes.

Currently, it implements {{Automatic taxobox}}, {{Ichnobox}} and {{Oobox}} – see {{Automatic taxobox}} for more details and parameters. For this purpose, it can be called via the relevant template, e.g. {{Automatic taxobox |...}}, or directly, in which case |direct=yes must be supplied, e.g. {{#invoke:Automated taxobox|automaticTaxobox |direct=yes |...}}.

Support for other automated taxoboxes (e.g. {{Speciesbox}}) is intended to be added in future. (Currently, only providing a name for a taxobox generated by {{Speciesbox}} is handled by this module.)
