This talk page can be used to discuss issues with the automated taxobox system that are common to the entire system, not just one of its templates. Discussions of this nature prior to 2017 can be found at Template talk:Automatic taxobox

Those familiar with the system prior to mid-2016 are advised to read Notes for "old hands".

UTC clade

So the UTC clade is a clade of algae but there’s no taxonomy? Atlas Þə Biologist (talk) 02:00, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand the question. The UTC clade is a group within Chlorophyta comprising Ulvophyceae, Trebouxiophyceae and Chlorophyceae. The taxonomy is discussed in the various articles. Is there somewhere where it is mentioned without explanation? — Jts1882 | talk 06:49, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Jts1882: Atlas Þə Biologist may have been commenting before I created Template:Taxonomy/UTC clade, when the taxobox in the article didn't work. Peter coxhead (talk) 16:19, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, that would make sense, although I'm puzzled by the timeline. I'm sure I checked the UTC clade article and find it hard to believe I missed the taxobox error. — Jts1882 | talk 16:45, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, my mistake; I didn't "create" the taxonomy template as I wrote above, I corrected the version that Atlas Þə Biologist had created that didn't work. Peter coxhead (talk) 06:08, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pyrosome taxonomy

In English Wikipedia they don’t do the taxonomy right.

There are 3 genera in the Pyrosomatidae (pyrosoma, pyrostremma and pyrosomella)
there is also 2 subfamily (Pyrosomatinae (animal) and Pyrostremmatinae)

so we need to fix the taxonomy. Atlas Þə Biologist (talk) 01:15, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is more usefully raised at the Pyrosome article, so I've posted at Talk:Pyrosome#Family is not monotypic. Peter coxhead (talk) 06:22, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Is this the largest template category on Wikipedia?

It looks like there are over 119,600 pages under the {{Taxonomy}} namespace now. Northern Moonlight 06:33, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My count is 119,448 taxonomy templates, so the number in the category seems about right. No idea how to find the largest category. — Jts1882 | talk 10:32, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
