Teamplaid:Taxon link/documentation

O Wiktionary

This template is no longer used within the automated taxobox system; its functions are performed within Mòideal:Autotaxobox. It is left available for testing purposes only.

It creates a wikilinked taxon name for use in a taxobox or other listing of taxa, dealing appropriately with italicization, the extinct indication "†" and the query indication "(?)".

The necessary information is obtained from "Template:Taxonomy/taxon", which must exist.
