Editing Template:Taxobox/doc (section)

==== Range maps ====
A range map may be included at the end of the taxobox.  This uses the {{para|range_map}}, {{para|range_map_upright}}, {{para|range_map_alt}}, and {{para|range_map_caption}} parameters, in the same manner as an image.  Specifying range map width is unnecessary in most cases.  See [[leopard]] (land animal), [[northern flicker]] (non-migratory bird), [[lesser spotted eagle]] (migratory bird) and [[orca]] (water animal) for examples.

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" style="overflow:auto">
| range_map         = Map.jpg
| range_map_upright = 1.1
| range_map_alt     = Map showing ...
| range_map_caption = Range of ...
</syntaxhighlight>

Up to four range maps can be included, via additional parameters such as {{para|range_map2}}, {{para|range_map2_caption}}, etc.

You can generate maps using an appropriate blank map such as [[:Image:BlankMap-World-noborders.png]]. Do not make the distribution map too large (a width of 300 to 400 should be sufficient, the purpose of the map being a rough global overview; more detailed maps can always go to the article body) and add the map to [[:Category:Habitat maps]], or, preferably, if you upload the map to Commons, to [[:commons:Category:Animal distribution maps]].
