• auth – the authority for the name in the appropriate style for the relevant nomenclature code (optional)

Examples

• {{Taxonomy |rank=genus |link=''[[Acacia]]'' |auth=Martius}} produces

Genus:

• {{Taxonomy |rank=classis |link=[[Mammal|Mammalia]] |auth=[[Carl Linnaeus|Linnaeus]], 1758}} produces

Class:
