The template is to be used only from within {{Speciesbox}}. It has two functions: to return {{Italic title}} if appropriate, and to return a name for the taxobox.

{{Speciesbox/name|name|taxon|genus|species|pagenamebase|italic_title}}

If pagenamebase is the full name of the species or the name of the genus (with any disambiguator or qualifier stripped off) then {{Italic title}} is returned (unless italic_title is no).

If name is not specified, pagenamebase is returned as the name, italicized if appropriate.

(Addition of {{Italic title}} suppressed.)

  • Taxon present as binomial, same as pagenamebase:
    {{Speciesbox/name||Bellis perennis|||Bellis perennis|no}} → Bellis perennis
  • Genus and species present, together the same as pagenamebase:
    {{Speciesbox/name|||Bellis|perennis|Bellis perennis|no}} → Bellis perennis
  • Genus and species present, but monotypic genus so pagenamebase is genus:
    {{Speciesbox/name|||× Reyllopia|conollyana|× Reyllopia|no}} → × Reyllopia
  • Genus disambiguated, but without the disambiguation the binomial is the same as the pagenamebase:
    {{Speciesbox/name|||Alsophila (plant)|dealbata|Alsophila dealbata|no}} → Alsophila dealbata
  • Name supplied (italic title template would be added without the "no")
    {{Speciesbox/name|Common daisy||Bellis|perennis|Bellis perennis|no}} → Common daisy
  • Article at the common name:
    {{Speciesbox/name||Bellis perennis|||Common daisy|}} → Common daisy
