Parameters, on the whole, are the same as in ((Taxobox)).

There are a couple of extras:

• |edit link=: If specified, will display a link to allow the automated taxonomy pertaining to the taxon to be edited, generated by ((Edit taxonomy)). The value will be displayed as the link text, in the "Scientific classification" cell.
• |parent=: If specified, causes the template to display the automated taxonomy stored in taxonomy templates.
