This template is a wrapper for the function taxonInfo in [[Module:Autotaxobox]]. It is only intended for use from within [[:Category:Taxobox templates|templates implementing the automated taxobox system]].

== Usage ==
The template returns information held in "Template:Taxonomy/''taxon''". The information is ultimately returned by one of the "[[Template:Don't_edit_this_line/doc/variant|Don't edit this line" variant templates]].

<code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>Taxon info|''taxon''|''item''}}</code>

<code>''item''</code> has one of the following primary values:
*<code>parent</code> – <code><nowiki>{{Taxon info|Felis|parent}}</nowiki></code> → {{Taxon info|Felis|parent}}
*<code>rank</code> – <code><nowiki>{{Taxon info|Pteranodon|rank}}</nowiki></code> → {{Taxon info|Pteranodon|rank}}
*<code>link target</code> – <code><nowiki>{{Taxon info|Pteranodon|link_target}}</nowiki></code> → {{Taxon info|Pteranodon|link_target}}
*<code>plain link text</code> – <code><nowiki>{{Taxon info|Pteranodon|plain_link_text}}</nowiki></code> → {{Taxon info|Pteranodon|plain_link_text}}
*<code>extinct</code> – <code><nowiki>{{Taxon info|Pteranodon|extinct}}</nowiki></code> → {{Taxon info|Pteranodon|extinct}}
*<code>always display</code> – <code><nowiki>{{Taxon info|Araneomorphae|always_display}}</nowiki></code> → {{Taxon info|Araneomorphae|always_display}}
*<code>refs</code> – <code><nowiki>{{Taxon info|Chenistonia|refs}}</nowiki></code> → {{Taxon info|Chenistonia|refs}}
*<code>same as</code> – <code><nowiki>{{Taxon info|Avialae/skip|same_as}}</nowiki></code> → {{Taxon info|Avialae/skip|same_as}}

One <code>same_as</code> link will be followed, if it is present and the direct value of the item is the empty string. Thus [[Template:Taxonomy/Corallinaceae/stem-group]] has {{para|same as|Corallinaceae}} plus {{para|rank|stem-group}}, so all other values are obtained from [[Template:Taxonomy/Corallinaceae]]: 

*<code>parent</code> – <code><nowiki>{{Taxon info|Corallinaceae/stem-group|parent}}</nowiki></code> → {{Taxon info|Corallinaceae/stem-group|parent}}
*<code>rank</code> – <code><nowiki>{{Taxon info|Corallinaceae/stem-group|rank}}</nowiki></code> → {{Taxon info|Corallinaceae/stem-group|rank}}
*<code>link target</code> – <code><nowiki>{{Taxon info|Corallinaceae/stem-group|link_target}}</nowiki></code> → {{Taxon info|Corallinaceae/stem-group|link_target}}
*<code>plain link text</code> – <code><nowiki>{{Taxon info|Corallinaceae/stem-group|plain_link_text}}</nowiki></code> → {{Taxon info|Corallinaceae/stem-group|plain link text}}
*<code>extinct</code> – <code><nowiki>{{Taxon info|Corallinaceae/stem-group|extinct}}</nowiki></code> → {{Taxon info|Corallinaceae/stem-group|extinct}}
*<code>always display</code> – <code><nowiki>{{Taxon info|Corallinaceae/stem-group|always_display}}</nowiki></code> → {{Taxon info|Araneomorphae|always_display}}
*<code>refs</code> – <code><nowiki>{{Taxon info|Corallinaceae/stem-group|refs}}</nowiki></code> → {{Taxon info|Corallinaceae/stem-group|refs}}
*<code>same as</code> – <code><nowiki>{{Taxon info|Corallinaceae/stem-group|same_as}}</nowiki></code> → {{Taxon info|Corallinaceae/stem-group|same_as}}

A special case is if the item requested has the value <code>all</code>. In this case, no 
<code>same_as</code> link is followed. All the values in the taxon's taxonomy template will be returned, separated by "$", in the order <code>parent$rank$link$link_text$always_display$extinct$same_as$refs</code>.

*<code><nowiki>{{Taxon info|Corallinaceae/stem-group|all}}</nowiki></code> → {{Taxon info|Corallinaceae/stem-group|all}}
*<code><nowiki>{{Taxon info|Corallinaceae|all}}</nowiki></code> → {{Taxon info|Corallinaceae|all}}
