< Template:Don't edit this line
This is the template sandbox page for Template:Don't edit this line (diff).
Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]
For templates with names of the form "Don't edit this line xxx" or "Get xxx", see Template:Don't edit this line/doc/variant.
WarningThis template is used on approximately 132,000 pages.
To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.
This template uses Lua:
  • Module:Autotaxobox (sandbox)

Usage

edit

This template is transcluded from every taxonomy template page (i.e. every page whose name is of the form "Template:Taxonomy/taxon") when |machine code= is not specified. This should only happen when viewing a taxonomy template page. It uses function callTaxonomyKey in Module:Autotaxobox to prepare for and then use {{Taxonomy key}} to display the taxonomy template page in a more readable form.

As an example, see Template:Taxonomy/Felis – the display is created by {{Don't edit this line |rank=genus |link=Felis |parent=Felinae}} given that |machine code= is not given a value.

The template places a taxonomy template in one of the following tracking categories:

  • Category:Taxonomy templates – all 'normal' taxonomy templates
    • Category:Taxonomy templates for species – subcategory
    • Category:Taxonomy templates with qualified names – subcategory
    • Category:Taxonomy templates with query – subcategory
