Virus taxoboxes

What are taxoboxes? As seen on the right, they are a small and unobtrusive way to give quick facts about viruses. They should be used in all virus articles in order to give some degree of uniformity, and as a way to give important information quickly and concisely. This reduces the need to sift through the entire text to find a simple fact. Start by familiarizing yourself with the Automated taxobox system and the Template:Tl template.

Please note the following:

• For a picture, it's usually a good idea to use a picture of the virus itself rather than a picture of the results it has. For example, a micrograph would typically be preferred over a picture of a diseased animal. A picture of the effects it has on people can go somewhere else in the article.

The Wikicode is as follows:

{{Virusbox
| image = Ijms-20-04657-g004.webp
| image_caption = Structure and genome of the ebolavirus
| image2 = Ebola virus em.jpg
| image2_alt = Ebola virus under electron microscope

| taxon = Ebolavirus
