<strong>This template is no longer used within the [[WP:Automated taxobox system/map|automated taxobox system]]; its functions are performed within [[Module:Autotaxobox]]. It is left available for testing purposes only.</strong>

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.

== Usage ==
<code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>Taxon link|''taxon''|italic=''yes''|bold=''yes''|virus=''yes''}}</code>
* <code>''taxon''</code> is a string (a taxon name or a qualified taxon name) for which there is a taxonomy template "Template:Taxonomy/''taxon''"
* {{para|italic|yes}} forces an italic taxon name; if omitted altogether, the taxon's rank will be used to determine whether it should it italicized
* {{para|bold|yes}} produces an emboldened taxon name instead of a wikilink; it may be omitted altogether.
* {{para|virus|yes}} italicizes using the standard for virus taxa; it may be omitted altogether.

;Examples
*<code><nowiki>{{taxon link|Pterodactylus}}</nowiki></code> → {{taxon link|Pterodactylus}} – an extinct genus
*<code><nowiki>{{taxon link|Pterodactylus|bold=yes}}</nowiki></code> → {{taxon link|Pterodactylus|bold=yes}} – emboldened rather than wikilinked
*<code><nowiki>{{taxon link|Cambroernida/?}}</nowiki></code> → {{taxon link|Cambroernida/?}} – a queried extinct clade
*<code><nowiki>{{taxon link|Incertae sedis/Arthropoda}}</nowiki></code> → {{taxon link|Incertae sedis/Arthropoda}} – an unknown class within phylum Arthropoda
*<code><nowiki>{{taxon link|Hypoviridae|virus=yes}}</nowiki></code> → {{taxon link|Hypoviridae|virus=yes}} – most virus taxa names are italicized
