The "Don't edit this line XXX" templates are a core part of the automated taxobox system, and so high use, but as of Jenuary 2019[update], the tool did not count their transclusions, as they are only used from Lua.
This template may have no transclusions, because LUA tranclusions are not tracked by the tool.
This template is used on many pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.
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 "Template:Taxonomy/taxon"). They are invoked by calling a taxonomy template with |machine code=XXX, since the first line of every taxonomy template begins
{{Don't edit this line {{{machine code|}}}|...
They are intended only for use by the automated taxobox system. They are mostly used from within Module:Autotaxobox.
