The automated taxobox system is used to automatically generate the classification (taxonomic hierarchy) in a taxobox. It is designed to require the absolute minimum user input and research, and so provide higher-quality classification.
If you have a general question about any part of the system, please ask at Wikipedia talk:Automated taxobox system. Issues with particular automated taxobox templates, such as {{tl|Speciesbox}} or {{tl|Automatic taxobox}} can be raised at their talk pages (e.g. Template talk:Speciesbox or Template talk:Automatic taxobox).
