Template:Subspeciesbox
Taxonomy templates
Taxobox templates
This template is only suitable for taxa whose names are regulated by the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. For ranks below species whose names are regulated by the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants see Template:Infraspeciesbox.
Usage
Usage is almost the same as Template:Automatic taxobox, except that you need to specify:
|genus=name of the genus; e.g. Panthera|subgenus=link to subgenus if any|species=specific name; e.g. leo|species_link= (optional link to page about species; defaults to genus species)|subspecies=subspecific name; e.g. melanochaita
Unlike {{Speciesbox}}, |taxon= cannot be used; the three parts of the trinomial must be given separately.
If the subspecies is extinct, but the species and genus are not, then you need to specify:
|extinct=yes or year (in order to display the year of extinction, year is needed if |status= is set, whether or not the genus is extinct)
If the species (and hence the subspecies) is extinct, but the genus is not, then you need to specify:

Template Data
Template parameters[Edit template data]
This template prefers block formatting of parameters.
| Parameter | Description | Type | Status |
|---|
| name | name | Title of the taxobox; may be the English vernacular name of the subspecies
| String | optional |
|---|
| image | image | An image of a member of the subspecies, given without the File: or Image: prefix and without double brackets
| File | suggested |
|---|
| image_upright | image_upright | Used to adjust the displayed size of an image with an extreme aspect ratio. Values under 1.0 decrease the size of an image (most useful for very tall, narrow images) Values over 1.0 increase the size of an image (possibly useful for short, wide images) - Example
- 0.8
| Number | optional |
|---|
| image_alt | image_alt | Text describing what is depicted in the image
| String | optional |
|---|
| image_caption | image_caption | A caption for the image, if any is necessary. Do not simply repeat the name of the taxon
| String | optional |
|---|
| image2 | image2 | An second image of a member of the subspecies, given without the File: or Image: prefix and without double brackets. It is desirable to display images of both sexes of sexually dimorphic subspecies.
| File | optional |
|---|
| image2_caption | image2_caption | A caption for the second image, if any is necessary. Do not simply repeat the name of the taxon
| String | optional |
|---|
| image2_upright | image2_upright | Used to adjust the displayed size of an image with an extreme aspect ratio. Values under 1.0 decrease the size of an image (most useful for very tall, narrow images) Values over 1.0 increase the size of an image (possibly useful for short, wide images) - Example
- 0.8
| Number | optional |
|---|
| status | status | The conservation status of the taxon as assigned by a particular authority - Example
- LC
| String | optional |
|---|
| status_system | status_system | The authority assigning a particular conservation status - Example
- IUCN3.1
| String | optional |
|---|
| status_ref | status_ref | A citation that supports the displayed status and status_system parameters
| String | optional |
|---|
| extinct | extinct | The date a subspecies was declared extinct (specifying |status=EX is required in order for the date to display). Alternatively, if a non-numeric value is given, displays † to indicate that a subspecies is extinct - Example
- 1066
| String | optional |
|---|
| species_extinct | species_extinct | Displays † to indicate that the parent species is extinct - Example
- yes
| Boolean | optional |
|---|
| genus | genus | Scientific name of the genus with no formatting; used in conjunction with |species and |subspecies. - Example
- Homo
| String | required |
|---|
| subgenus | subgenus | The subgenus containing a particular species. Any formatting or link mark-up must be manually added.
| String | optional |
|---|
| species_link | species_link | The title of the article that is the parent species of the subspecies. Used to bypass a redirect when the species has a vernacular name title. Required when the genus is disambiguated. Should not be specified in other circumstances
| Page name | optional |
|---|
| species | species | Scientific name (species epithet) of the species with no formatting; used in conjunction with |genus and |subspecies. - Example
- sapiens
| String | required |
|---|
| subspecies | subspecies | Scientific name (subspecies epithet) of the subspecies with no formatting; used in conjunction with |genus and |species. - Example
- sapiens
| String | required |
|---|
| authority | authority | The describing authority for the subspecies in the appropriate format; presence or absence of parentheses is meaningful - Example
- Wilkes, 1810
| String | suggested |
|---|
| range_map | range_map | The name of the image file, if any, showing the subspecies' geographic habitat
| File | optional |
|---|
| range_map_upright | range_map_upright | Used to adjust the displayed size of a range map. May be useful when the range map has an extreme aspect ratio (use values <1 for tall/narrow range maps, and >1 for short/wide range maps). May also be necessary if an image_upright parameter is specified - Example
- 0.8
| Number | optional |
|---|
| range_map_caption | range_map_caption | A caption for the range map, if any is necessary
| String | optional |
|---|
| synonyms | synonyms | Taxonomic synonyms. These should be displayed in a collapsed list format if there are many of them.
| String | optional |
|---|
| synonyms_ref | synonyms_ref | A reference supporting the synonymy shown in the list
| String | optional |
