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 {{para|parent|C}} instead of {{para|parent|B}}. If you need more help, leave me a note on my talk page. [[User:Peter coxhead|Peter coxhead]] ([[User talk:Peter coxhead|talk]]) 02:00, 5 September 2019 (UTC) |

{{reply to|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. [[User:KimNiels|KimNiels]] ([[User talk:KimNiels#top|talk]]) 03:38, 5 September 2019 (UTC) |

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)
