Generates the "name" parameter for {{Taxobox}}es, if unspecified.

Pass the following parameters: {{Taxobox name|genus|species|binomial}}

Rationale

If any of the "genus", "species", or "binomial" parameters specified in the template EXACTLY MATCH the name of the page (with any bracketed appendices removed), AND the "name" parameter is unspecified, the page's name in italicised form will be adopted as the name for the taxobox and set as the displayed page title.
