Isn't the binomial name simply the genus and species names together? If so, why is there a separate binomial parameter? The template could supply the binomial name from those two, as I believe it used to do. [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J. Rayment]] 02:26, 9 July 2007 (EDT)

:Where the classification runs further than species, or requires more than one species, it fails at that point :( Yes, the binomial name is just the posh way of saying "species", usually quoting the authority responsible for naming; it's useful where the taxobox finishes there, but not where it runs on to subspecies. The template still needs to be tweaked to cope with plurals, as it currently fails to <nowiki>[[]]</nowiki> where the field contains multiple entries. I'll see what I can do with it this morning.
