Taxonomy templates

Hi, you can't change the classification of a taxon by changing the link field in a taxonomy template so that it doesn't match the title of the template. If you want taxon A to have taxon C as its parent rather than taxon B, then you edit Template:Taxonomy/A to have |parent=C instead of |parent=B. If you need more help, leave me a note on my talk page. Peter coxhead (talk) 02:00, 5 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Peter coxhead: Hello. Thank you for pointing this out - I am new to Wikipedia and still figuring things out. The order for Dall's porpoise (Phocoenoides dalli), and probably all cetacean species then, is incorrect. I imagine I would have to change the templates then as far back as Artiodactyla. Is this correct? I'm not sure I have permission to make that edit since those templates are semi-protected. The correct order is Cetartiodactyla (so I need to change it!). Thank you for any help you can provide. KimNiels (talk) 03:38, 5 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
