This talkpage has been used for general discussion of issues with the automated taxobox system as a whole – taxobox templates like {{ Speciesbox}} or this one, taxonomy templates like Template:Taxonomy/Aves, or the design and coding of the system. It is suggested that these should now be discussed at WT:Automated taxobox system, and this page reserved for specific problems with this template.
I'm looking to start a series of articles on fossil Odonate genera from the Okanagan Highlands, but there is a problem. When described in 2021 the genera were placed into a newly defined suborder "Cephalozygoptera", based on head morphology detail. The erection of the suborder was quickly questioned by another paleoentomologist, who treated the name as a jr synonym of Zygoptera. There was a short series of papers from both groups advocating their positions, and now the two authors are using their preferred taxonomies, and noone else has waded in.
Is there a way to format for controversal higher taxonomy in the automatic taxoboxes?-- Kev min § 18:01, 19 January 2024 (UTC)

Peter coxhead (
talk) 06:36, 3 June 2024 (UTC)Ran into this recently... I see some variance in how to handle these taxa. Very few are using the automated system. I started converting one... I ran into the family first, Methylomirabilaceae, which used plain text so I automated it as such, but the linked species Methylomirabilis oxyfera that isn't yet automated uses quoted text. What is the correct way to handle these? I was thinking of trashing and replacing everything above the species as incertae sedis, but given that the full hierarchy is proposed, that might be overkill. - UtherSRG (talk) 15:52, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
