Wikipedia:WikiProject Animals/Article template

For species, the taxobox template might be: Taxobox template

Categories should be defined near the end of the article.

Please include a direct parent category in the taxonomy whenever possible; for a species, the family is likely an available category. For a family, the order is probably available.

See the subcategories under Category:Animals; most of the subcategories listed there have lower-level subcategories that may fit better. Multiple categories may be relevant.
