This template is a wrapper for the function taxonInfo in Module:Autotaxobox. It is only intended for use from within templates implementing the automated taxobox system.
The template returns information held in "Template:Taxonomy/taxon". The information is ultimately returned by one of the "Don't edit this line" variant templates.
((Taxon info|taxon|item))
item
has one of the following primary values:

– ((Taxon info|Felis|parent))
→ Felinaerank
– ((Taxon info|Pteranodon|rank))
→ genuslink target
– ((Taxon info|Pteranodon|link_target))

– ((Taxon info|Avialae/skip|same_as))
→ AvialaeOne same_as
link will be followed, if it is present and the direct value of the item is the empty string. Thus Template:Taxonomy/Corallinaceae/stem-group has |same as=Corallinaceae
plus |rank=stem-group
, so all other values are obtained from Template:Taxonomy/Corallinaceae:
parent
– ((Taxon info|Corallinaceae/stem-group|parent))
→ Corallinalesrank
– ((Taxon info|Corallinaceae/stem-group|rank))
→ stem grouplink target

– ((Taxon info|Corallinaceae/stem-group|same_as))
→ CorallinaceaeA special case is if the item requested has the value all
. In this case, no
same_as
link is followed. All the values in the taxon's taxonomy template will be returned, separated by "$", in the order parent$rank$link$link_text$always_display$extinct$same_as$refs
