taxobox - why not use subdivision?

The examples seem inconsistent on handling items with multiple subdivisions (species in first case, genera in second) - is there a reason for not using subdivision with species in the Ebola example? Seems like it would be more consistent to use subdivision in last place on both of the examples. Zodon (talk) 06:47, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Taxobox - handling unknown

It would be nice to have an example of how to handle unknown entries. The way I read this, it seems like it is suggesting

ordo = ''Unknown''

why is this used instead of using the entry suggested by the taxobox instructions

unranked_ordo

or

unranked_ordo = Order

ICTVdB template

Created a template Template:ICTVdB for ICTVdB codes, links code to database description. Thought it might be useful. If you have comments about the template, please post them on talk page for the template. (Follow-up here if wish to include in viruses templates). Zodon (talk) 06:23, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Virus taxoboxes

I'd like to begin structuring the virus taxonomy database for the automatic taxobox. Is there a good "ultimate" taxonomy resource I can use in setting it up? Bob the WikipediaN ^{(talk • contribs)} 00:07, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

Found one: [1]. Is this acceptable? Bob the WikipediaN ^{(talk • contribs)} 00:17, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
