The complicated Sainfoin table (http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki/Sainfoin) would be written as:
[[table:plant [{ Sainfoin }] [| [image: OnobrychisViciifolia-thumb.jpg] |] [{ [[Scientific classification]] }] [| [[table:classification [| [[Kingdom (biology)|Kingdom]]: | [[Plantae]] |] [| [[Division (biology)|Division]]: | [[Magnoliophyta]] |] [| [[Class (biology)|Class]]: | [[Magnoliopsida]] |] [| [[Order (biology)|Order]]: | [[Fabales]] |] [| [[Family (biology)|Family]]: | [[Fabaceae]] |] [| [[Genus]]: | '''''Onobrychis''''' |] [| '''[[Species]]:''' | '''''vicifolia''''' |] ]] |] [{ [[Binomial nomenclature|Binomial name]] }] [| ''Onobrychis vicifolia'' |] ]]
