In general, gastropod entries should have a taxobox.

[edit] Taxoboxes
From Wikipedia:WikiProject_Tree_of_Life#Taxoboxes
- The full taxobox guide is located at Wikipedia:Taxobox usage.
Detailed taxonomic information, including notes on how taxa are defined and how they vary between different systems, belongs in the article proper. Where possible, however, a standard table will be provided to allow easier navigation between related groups and quick identification of what sort of organisms are being discussed. These are called taxoboxes. A typical taxobox is shown at right (it belongs on the top right of the page Cetacea).
There are three main sections to the taxobox:
- A header showing the name of the group, sometimes followed by a representative image.
- A table showing the placement of the group in a typical classification system.
- A footer, whose content varies, showing the binomial name or a species, or a list of subgroups for higher taxa.
Some items that are often included, but are not (necessarily) standardized, include:
- Range map - Found here - (see, for example, Orca)
- Synonyms (European lobster)
Position: The taxobox generally belongs at the top right corner of the article, unless it has been decided otherwise on the relevant talk page - for instance, if the article is not primarily about the biological group.
