Module:Biota infobox

This module started out as a quick module for template {{paraphyletic group}}, but has morphed into a module to emulate the {{taxobox/core}}. Handling for templates that call the core has been added for {{taxobox}}, {{Automatic taxobox}} and {{Speciesbox}}, but is incomplete.

--[[ main function callable in Wikipedia via the #invoke command.
        creates a taxobox-style infobox
        handles preliminary parameter handling enulating taxobox and automatic taxobox templates
           -- the parameters are also checked for content, alias, valid names and valid combinations

			        p.addImageSection() - images and range maps 
			        p.addStatusSection() - conservation status
			        p.addTaxonomySection() - listing of taxonomic heirarchy (manuel or using automatic taxonomy system)
			        p.addTaxonSection() - adds section with taxonomic information (binomial or trinomials; type genus or species; diversity)
			        p.addListSection()     - section containing list if subdivisions, synonyms, included or excluded groups
