This template is one of a number of configuration templates used in the taxobox system, in this case in both manual and automated taxoboxes.

It translates a Latinized taxonomic rank into the English equivalent.

If the rank is one not listed in this template, then the taxonomy template containing the rank will be placed in Category:Taxonomy templates using unrecognized rank parameters.

Examples:

  • {{Anglicise rank|classis}} → Class
  • {{Anglicise rank|familia}} → Family
  • {{Anglicise rank|sectio}} → Section
  • {{Anglicise rank|zoosectio}} → Section
  • {{Anglicise rank|cladus}} → Clade – unordered and informal ranks are italicized
  • {{Anglicise rank|species_complex}} → Species complex – underscore and space are equivalent
  • {{Anglicise rank|species complex}} → Species complex
  • {{Anglicise rank|unranked_subordo}} → (unranked) – 'unranked ranks' are used in manual taxoboxes

Other configuration templates are:

  • {{Principal rank}} – defines the Linnaean principal ranks that are shown by default in automated taxoboxes
  • {{Is italic taxon}} – defines which ranks cause taxon names to be italicized in automated taxoboxes
  • {{Taxobox colour}} – defines which taxa set the taxobox colour and what those colours are
