==Multiple Wikidata entries==

The parameter {{para|from}}{{\}}{{para|from1}} will be ''implicitly'' determined by the Wikidata item linked to the article. For maintenance purposes it is preferable to explicitly provide the linked Wikidata item in the {{para|from}}{{\}}{{para|from1}} parameter, although it is not strictly required. If it is not provided the article will be listed at [[:Category:Taxonbars without from parameter]].

Parameters {{para|from2}}, {{para|from3}}, etc., can also be added, for example, if the linked Wikidata item differs from the taxon name of the English-language Wikipedia article. Some taxa exist under multiple names (synonyms) on Wikidata. To add these synonyms, use the {{para|from2}}, {{para|from3}}, etc., parameters to specify their Wikidata IDs. If there is more than one row, the taxon name from Wikidata will be shown in the leftmost column — to overwrite this, use the {{para|title}}{{\}}{{para|title1}}, {{para|title2}}, {{para|title3}}, etc. parameters. 

For example, <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{Taxonbar|from=Q26972265|from2=Q20717272}}</syntaxhighlight>, when placed on the page [[Dog]] produces:
{{Taxonbar|from=Q26972265|from2=Q20717272}}

The same approach can be used when monotypic taxa have a single article, but there are multiple entries in Wikidata.

For example, at ''[[Haptanthus]]'', which covers the genus and its sole species, <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{Taxonbar|from1=Q15715555|from2=Q133951}}</syntaxhighlight> produces:
{{Taxonbar|from1=Q15715555|from2=Q133951}}

You can [[#Manual identifiers|manually add taxon identifier]]s not present in Wikidata to a specific row by appending the appropriate number to the end of the parameter name — for example, to add an inaturalist identifier to the second row, use {{para|inaturalist2}}.

===Basionyms===

[[Basionyms]] available on Wikidata (via {{Wikidata property link|P566}}) are automatically appended. You may also manually specify the basionym via {{para|from#}} to manually specify its position.

For example, both 
:<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{Taxonbar|from1=Q43372357|from2=Q164254}}</syntaxhighlight> and
:<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{Taxonbar|from1=Q43372357|from2=Q164254|from3=Q21977691}}</syntaxhighlight>
would produce identical taxonbars for ''[[Ponerorchis cucullata]]'':
{{Taxonbar|from1=Q43372357|from2=Q164254|from3=Q21977691}}

However, changing the order of the IDs will alter their position in the taxonbar so
:<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{Taxonbar|from1=Q43372357|from2=Q21977691|from3=Q164254}}</syntaxhighlight>
produces a taxonbar with the basionym in a different position:
{{Taxonbar|from1=Q43372357|from2=Q21977691|from3=Q164254}}
