### Parameters

#### Classification

As noted above, the classification section includes some or all of the following:  
<pre>
| regnum =
| phylum =
| classis =
| ordo =
| familia =
| genus =
| species =
</pre>  
Each entry corresponds to a containing group, except for the last, which should be the group under consideration. Note the entries use the *Latin* names for the ranks, to make porting between Wikipedias easier. Thus the above correspond to the kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species.  
Taxoboxes should include all major ranks above the taxon described in the article, plus minor ranks that are important to understanding the classification of the taxon described in the article, or which are discussed in the article. Other minor ranks should be omitted.  
For example, in the taxobox for the genus *Formica*, it's appropriate to include entries for tribe and subfamily, since those are an aid to understanding how *Formica* relates to other genera in the family Formicidae. But it wouldn't be appropriate to include the superorder Holometabola, since all genera of ants are in that superorder; it isn't particularly interesting at this level.  
Another example is the subfamily Bambusoideae, the bamboos. This subfamily probably should be mentioned in the taxobox of every bamboo species, since it is a major grouping in this context, despite its minor rank.  
Minor ranks are included in the same way as major ranks, for example:  
<pre>
| classis = ...
| subclassis = ...
| superordo = ...
| ordo = ...
</pre>  
Note that species and subspecies should be given using the abbreviated forms of their name—e.g. *H. sapiens*, *H. s. sapiens*. The epithets should not be given by themselves. The full form of the species or subspecies name is given in the binomial or trinomial section.  
See #All parameters for a complete list.  
##### Classification status
With the parameter, it is possible to introduce extra text within parentheses after "Scientific classification". For example, will produce "Scientific classification (disputed)". See *Baranophrys* for a current example where this parameter is used. This parameter should only be used when the "Scientific classification" text would be misleading without it.  
##### Divisions and sections
These ranks have different meanings in zoology and botany.  
In botany:
- Use **divisio** for division (a rank above class and below kingdom)
- Use **sectio** for section (a rank above species and below genus)  
Note: Certain very large genera, e.g. *Rhododendron* include subsections  
In zoology:
- Use **zoodivisio** for division (a rank above family and below order)
- Use **zoosectio** for section (a rank above family and below order)  
##### Unranked taxa
For each major taxon from family to phylum, you can add an unranked entry to the taxobox. The entry appears above rank X, for example appears above family and superfamily and below order, suborder, infraorder, etc.:  
<pre>
| ordo =
| unranked_superfamilia =
| familia =
</pre>  
For animals and non-flowering plants, use unranked taxa sparingly. The need to include unranked taxa generally indicates that you are following phylogenetic nomenclature. It is usually better to abbreviate the classification to the major ranks and then discuss the classification in more detail in the article.  
###### Unranked taxa of flowering plants
Flowering plants (angiosperms) make frequent use of unranked taxa. The APG III system of classification used for flowering plants on Wikipedia does not have formally named ranks above order—e.g. divisions, classes, subclasses—but includes several hierarchically nested, informally named and unranked clades. For flowering plants the taxobox should include in place of , in place of , and possibly also in place of . Flowering plant taxoboxes may often include three to four informal hierarchical groups above the rank of order, making the use of necessary, which sorts itself just above where a formally named order is displayed. The unranked parameters only include ranks in their parameter names, such as "unranked **divisio**" to allow the editor to place content hierarchically; no approximation of rank is intended by the use of these parameter names. For flowering plant articles using the APG III system of classification, the regular parameters including , , and should not be used or it will display between these unranked APG III clades.  
To comply with #Classification above and its advice on the inclusion of major ranks, the following are considered major ranks in APG III and currently included in the appropriate flowering plant taxoboxes:
- Angiosperms
- Magnoliids
- Monocots
- Commelinids
- Eudicots
- Core eudicots (displayed as a major rank when the plant is not included further nested in rosids or asterids)
- Rosids
- Asterids  
Note: The rosids contain two clades, the fabids (also known as eurosids I) and malvids (also known as eurosids II), and the asterids contain two further clades, the lamiids (euasterids I) and campanulids (euasterids II). These are considered to be minor ranks and are only to be displayed on the articles on orders or families they immediately contain.  
A taxobox for a flowering plant will thus generally include the following parameters:
<pre>
| regnum = Plantae
| unranked_divisio = Angiosperms
| unranked_classis =
| unranked_ordo =
| ordo =
</pre>
