~~=== Scientific names ===~~

~~[[Scientific name]]s of organisms are formatted according to normal [[Taxonomy (biology)|taxonomic nomenclature]].~~

*Do not italicize (but do capitalize) taxa higher than [[genus]].

*Italicize all lower [[Rank (zoology)#All ranks|ranks (taxa)]]: [[genus]] (capitalized), [[subgenus]] (capitalized), [[species]], [[subspecies]].

**Names of genera are always italicized (and capitalized), even when not paired with a species name: {{xt|''Allosaurus'', ''Falco'', ''Anas''}}.

**The entire [[Binomial nomenclature|binomial]] or [[Trinomial nomenclature|trinomial]] scientific name is italicized, whether given in full or abbreviated: ({{xt|''Liriodendron tulipifera''}}, {{xt|''N. v. piaropicola''}}).

*Interpolations such as "cf.", "×", "var.", or "subsp." are not italicized: {{xt|''Ninox'' cf. ''novaeseelandiae''}}, {{xt|the chaussie is a hybrid cat (''Felis catus'' × ''F. chaus'')}}.

*Parenthetic expressions should not be italicized unless part of the scientific name, as in the case of a subgenus, which is always italicized, though the parentheses (round brackets) are not: {{xt|''Potentilla'' (''Sibbaldiopsis'') ''tridentata''}}.

*Do not italicize author names juxtaposed with scientific names: {{xt|Subgenus ''Potentilla'' Syme and subgenus ''Hypargyrium'' (Fourr.) Juz. have been combined under subgenus ''Potentilla'' Syme}}.

Derived uses in non-biological contexts are not italicized: {{xt|The largest carnivore in family Tyrannosauridae was ''[[Tyrannosaurus|T. rex]]'' itself}}, but {{xt|''Unicorn'' was an album by the band [[T. Rex (band)|T. Rex]]}}.

~~Although often derived from Latin or Ancient Greek, scientific names are never marked up with {{tl|lang}} or related templates.~~
