For plant subgenus names, the style "Template:Taxonomy/Genus subg. Subgenus" is used. (The bare subgenus name should not be used, because then the taxonomy template for the nominate subgenus, such Mus or Banksia subg. Banksia, cannot be distinguished from the taxonomy template for the genus.)
Please include a direct parent category in the taxonomy whenever possible; for a species, the family is likely an available category. For a family, the order is probably available. See the subcategories under Category:Animals; most of the subcategories listed there have lower-level subcategories that may fit better. Multiple categories may be ...
For animals and non-flowering plants, use unranked taxa sparingly. The need to include unranked taxa generally indicates that you are following phylogenetic nomenclature . It is usually better to abbreviate the classification to the major ranks and then discuss the classification in more detail in the article.

More accurately, if |taxon=TAXON, the system will expect there to be a page at "Template:Taxonomy/TAXON". In some circumstances, TAXON may not be the name of the taxon, e.g. if a plant and animal share the same genus name, there may be two taxonomy templates called "Template:Taxonomy/GENUS (plant)" and "Template:Taxonomy/GENUS (animal)".
For animals and non-flowering plants, use unranked taxa sparingly. The need to include unranked taxa generally indicates that you are following phylogenetic nomenclature .

Such templates are only needed when the species name is not displayed in a taxobox as a straightforward binomial, in particular when the generic name is displayed other than as a single word. In all other cases, the template is redundant, since the taxonomic hierarchy is picked up from the genus name or from the |parent= parameter in the taxobox.
