Editing Template:Speciesbox/doc (section)

=== Genus names duplicated across kingdoms ===
A special case is where the name of the genus is duplicated in different kingdoms, e.g. ''Acanthocarpus'', which is used for a plant and a crab. The taxonomy template for the plant has to be at [[Template:Taxonomy/Acanthocarpus (plant)]] to allow there to be a separate page at "Template:Taxonomy/Acanthocarpus (crab)". Consider the page ''[[Acanthocarpus preissii]]''. The taxobox has to be set up in this way:

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">{{Speciesbox
| genus   = Acanthocarpus (plant)
| species = preissii
| ...
}}</syntaxhighlight>

The corresponding taxonomy template for the genus, [[:Template:Taxonomy/Acanthocarpus (plant)]], contains the line:

:<code>| link  = Acanthocarpus (plant)|Acanthocarpus</code>

to ensure that wikilinks are to "Acanthocarpus (plant)" whereas the displayed genus name is "''Acanthocarpus''".

Note that this approach is ''only'' necessary when the disambiguation is needed because genus names are duplicated across kingdoms.<!--Need an example here? Previously used Liriope muscari, but now that there's a jellyfish genus with this name it doesn't work-->
