Wikipedia:WikiProject Tree of Life/Taxon template

This is an essay on article content. It contains the advice and/or opinions of one or more WikiProjects on how the content policies may be interpreted within their area of interest. This information is not a formal Wikipedia policy or guideline, as it has not been thoroughly vetted by the community.

Articles about taxa, such as families, genera, or species, typically contain many of the sections laid out in the order below. For most species, it will not be possible or relevant to fill out every section, but a taxon article on its way to GA usually has sections for "Description", "Taxonomy", "Subdivisions" (e.g. "Species" in the case of genera), "Distribution and habitat", and "Ecology and behavior".
