Usage

This template operates in a similar manner to {{Automatic taxobox}}. Please see that template for usage instructions.

There is no equivalent of {{Speciesbox}} for oospecies; almost all articles are about oogenera and oofamilies.

The top-level taxon for ootaxa - i.e. the parent for ootaxa that have no higher classification - is "Veterovata".
