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.

#I added code for lines, but I nonetheless made the code more efficient - there was a lot of extra code, and a lot of code that wouldn't have done anything. This can be a change regardless of whether you like the aesthetic style.
#I edited the template with the assumption that every single parameter would be filled in; even though this is unrealistic, I wanted the test the template in the hardest conditions. I realized that there were too many rows every single row right after another - so I split everything up. Superkingdom, kingdom and subkingdom all have a heading - same with the phyla, the classes etc.
#I threw in some yellow just to make it a bit more colorful
#I aligned the "Scientific classification" line a bit better (vertically)
#I added population stats (as you asked)
#I added a bit more spacing (with cellspacing) to make sure it didn't look smooshed--<small>[[User:Iduan|<span style="color: #FFCCCC; background: #660000">I]][[User_talk:Iduan|<span style="color:#CCCCFF; background:#000033">Duan]]</span></span></small> 00:09, 13 February 2009 (EST)
