Wikipedia:WikiProject Birds (family taxobox example)

Things to note:

• Usually the taxobox heading is the common name of the family—in this case, "Hummingbirds"— in bold type. Note the plural. The article title, however, should always be in the singular.
• If there is no suitable common name, use the scientific name instead.
• Notice that the last entry in the list of genera (in this example it's Calypte) does not include the new line code <br>. All the other ones do.
• Should we always link the genera? Or only those that seem likely to get an entry of their own soon?
• Watch out for taxonomic issues. It's a minefield out there!
