Template:Don't edit this line/doc/variant

Usage

Templates in the "Don't edit this line xxx" family are used to extract information from a taxonomy template (i.e. a template whose name is of the form {{Taxonomy/taxon}}). They are invoked by calling a taxonomy template with |machine code=xxx, since the first line of every taxonomy template begins with <nowiki>{{Don't edit this line |…. They are intended only for use by the automated taxobox system, and are mostly used from within the Autotaxobox Scribunto Lua module.
