Added support for |greatgreatgrandparent_authority=
to correct a glitch when the great-great grandparent displays. Bob the WikipediaN (talk • contribs) 03:22, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
Consistency with Taxoboxes
Is there a reason that this doesn't call Template:Taxobox/core? Martin (Smith609 – Talk) 17:03, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
- Only that I didn't want to intrude on it, although I think it's probably a good idea now that I've got the basics working. I finally found the bit that italicizes the genus and species names. I'll see about adapting the {{Taxobox/core}} to handle it now. Bob the Wikipedian (talk • contribs) 20:56, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
- Done. So simple it was actually scary. Bob the Wikipedian (talk • contribs) 21:08, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

Upgrading to the next version of {{str find}}
Per the recent modifications to {{strfind short}}, it has been advised this faster and more capable template take the place of {{str find}} where possible. Because {{PAGENAMEBASE}} is a structural template at the foundation of the code of this template, this edit could potentially cause havoc if not evaluated first for soundness.
I'm requesting anyone who has enough know-how to evaluate this proposed modification respond to the RfC listed at Template talk:PAGENAMEBASE. The template is being used in this template. Bob the WikipediaN (talk • contribs) 03:27, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
Italicize ichnogenera
This template should automatically italicize ichnogenera. Secondplanet (talk) 22:25, 19 September 2014 (UTC)
Protected edit request on 24 December 2014
This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
- search the template for
| subdivision =
- remove the first one (just before the comment), since it is duplicated by the second one.
this will remove a bunch of pages from Category:Pages using duplicate arguments in template calls
alternatively, change the protection to template-editor, and I will do it. Frietjes (talk) 22:54, 24 December 2014 (UTC)
- Done @Frietjes: I made the edit and unprotected it as well - there were only 7 transclusions. — Mr. Stradivarius ♪ talk ♪ 04:13, 25 December 2014 (UTC)
Child rank not automatically generated
See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ophiomorpha. Martin (Smith609 – Talk) 11:08, 10 January 2017 (UTC)
- @Smith609: I think it's good practice to explicitly specify
|subdivision_ranks=
. When this is omitted, the rank generated from the parent is often wrong now – the system you & Bob implemented worked well when most taxonomy templates were concerned with 'standard' Linnaean ranks, but so many are now for 'nonstandard' ranks (mirorder, parvorder, clades, etc.). Although a child rank could be generated from these, many of the newer ones are not used consistently. - However, something should appear if
|subdivision_ranks=
is omitted. In the case of {{Automatic taxobox}}, I'm inclined to supply something generic, like "Subdivisions". - Done However, for {{Ichnobox}} the likely ranks are more predictable, so I've now fixed the template to generate subdivision ranks. Peter coxhead (talk) 17:22, 10 January 2017 (UTC)
Merged versions
Up to today, almost all articles used {{Ichnobox/short}} rather than {{Ichnobox}}. Looking at the code and testing changing articles from one to the other, I couldn't see any real difference in the output, and having two made maintenance more difficult. So I've merged them, with the "/short" version a redirect to the "normal" version. If anyone notices any problems, please post here. Peter coxhead (talk) 12:35, 15 January 2017 (UTC)
- @Peter coxhead: I don't know if it's a consequence of the merge, but image captions aren't displaying. My best guess after glancing at the code is that it maybe has something to do with underscores in the parameter (
|image caption=
vs.|image_caption=
). For ichnobox articles with an image_caption, see here. BTW, I'm going to offline til Sunday evening; the template isn't protected, so I might poke around in the sandbox and see if I can fix it myself, but that's not going to happen for several days. Plantdrew (talk) 02:35, 4 May 2017 (UTC)
- @Plantdrew: yes, it was an inadvertent consequence of the move. Almost all articles used the original "Ichnobox/short" template, but, unlike the little-used "Ichnobox" template, it did not cater for all choices between the underscore and space versions of multiword parameters. I hadn't appreciated this when I merged them. I guess that ichno articles have few watchers or readers, so it hasn't been noticed until now. I've corrected {{Ichnobox}}; see e.g. Grallator. The change will slowly permeate through to any other affected articles.
- There are some other issues with this template (e.g. it still has
|image_width=
rather than the newer|image_upright=
). Do some of the parameters make sense for an ichno taxon, e.g. would there ever be range maps? Peter coxhead (talk) 08:11, 4 May 2017 (UTC) - Automatic italicization is another issue; as with other 'minor' taxobox templates, this either doesn't work or works differently. Peter coxhead (talk) 08:50, 4 May 2017 (UTC)
subdivision_ref?
Seems like |subdivision_ref=
wasn't added to this box. Or I screwed something else up on Protichnites. --awkwafaba (📥) 14:59, 4 March 2020 (UTC)
- @Awkwafaba: no, you didn't screw up, it hasn't been implemented. I thought, ok, it's a quick fix, but looking at the template, it's way out of date, and needs more work than I have time for right now. On my list if no-one else gets there first. Peter coxhead (talk) 21:29, 4 March 2020 (UTC)
- @Awkwafaba: now implemented and works at Protichnites. (Other changes to Ichnobox are needed, e.g. the automatic italicization of the taxobox name doesn't work correctly. However, it's so rarely used now that I don't see it as a priority. Let me know if you find any other issues.) Peter coxhead (talk) 09:44, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
Update
This template has now been updated to use a slight variant of the Lua code used to implement {{Automatic taxobox}}. Parameters and italicization should now work in the same way.
I'd like to change the colour of Ichnoboxes; comments please at Wikipedia talk:Automated taxobox system#Colour of Ichnoboxes. Peter coxhead (talk) 15:54, 1 October 2020 (UTC)
