~~This template sets up a taxobox~~. ~~It does not work in all circumstances; in general~~, it ~~would be better to use the [[Wikipedia~~:~~WikiProject Tree of Life~~/~~taxobox usage (multi-template~~)~~|multi~~-~~template]] method for creating taxoboxes~~.

This template, from Wikipedia, uses an old version due to problems with displaying the newer versions. I think this one works fine and doesn't really need all the new bells and whistles of newer versions - however for records sake, this template is from the edit:
