[edit] Virus taxoboxes
What are taxoboxes? As seen on the right, they are a small and unobtrusive way to give quick facts about viruses. They should be used in all virus articles in order to give some degree of uniformity, and as a way to give important information quickly and concisely. This reduces the need to sift through the entire text to find a simple fact.
Please note the following:
- For a picture, it's usually a good idea to use a picture of the virus itself rather than a picture of the results it has. For example, a micrograph would typically be preferred over a picture of a diseased animal. A picture of the effects it has on people can go somewhere else in the article.
- The colour of the taxobox must always be "violet", as this is the specific colour given to viruses as a Wikipedia standard.
- Many viruses remain unclassified in terms of order, family or even genus. In this case, please put Unranked in place of where the taxonomic rank would go.
The Wikicode is as follows:
{{Taxobox
| color = violet
| name = Ebola virus
| image = ebola virus em.png
| image_width = 150px
| image_caption = An [[electron microscope|electron micrograph]] of an ''Ebolavirus''
| virus_group = V
| ordo = ''[[Mononegavirales]]''
| familia = ''[[Filoviridae]]''
| genus = ''[[Ebolavirus]]''
| species = ''Ivory Coast ebolavirus''<br>''Reston ebolavirus''<br>''Sudan ebolavirus''<br>''Zaire ebolavirus''
}}
[edit] Viroid taxoboxes
The Wikicode is as follows:
{{Taxobox | color=violet
| name = ''Pospiviroidae''
| virus_group = [[Viroid]]s
| familia = '''''Pospiviroidae'''''
| subdivision_ranks = Genera
| subdivision = ''[[Pospiviroid]]''<br>''[[Hostuviroid]]''
}}
