Things to note:[edit]

  • Usually the taxobox heading is the common name of the organism in bold type. The taxobox name and the article title, should always be singular.
  • If there is no suitable common name, use the scientific name instead.
  • There is no need for a caption below the picture if it shows a typical member of the species. (But if there is something unusual to note, e.g. juvenile, male/female colouring, activity, location etc., then add a caption.)
  • It is usually best not to provide an image_width parameter, as this over-rules users' default thumb size preferences; if it is necessary to do so, note that the Wikipedia:Manual of Style recommends that lead images not be made smaller than 300px, as this will make the lead image smaller than the others for users with a 300px default thumb size.
