# வார்ப்புரு:Automatic Taxobox/doc



Template:Automatic taxobox is a template used to automatically generate a taxobox, designed to require the absolute minimum user input and research and provide even higher-quality classification.  

It's part of the "automated taxobox system". The pages linked in the navigation box provide information on different parts of the system. If you are a new user, it's a good idea to read the automated taxobox system introduction first; in particular to be sure that you are using the automated taxobox. If you just want information on , see here for how to use it.
