Usage

redlistCategory is the only one required parameter.
internalTaxonId/assessmentId can be found in URLs, for example: https://www.iucnredlist.org/species/32353/9700472
If option or |option= is set to

1 or any string containing "1" such as 13 (and <IUCN Species ID> is not empty), an external link to the IUCN website is displayed.

2 has no effect, and is kept for backwards compatibility

3 or any string containing "3" such as 13, extra padding will be added around the abbreviation

|link= sets the wikilink for the abbreviated status to a value other than the default. Set to blank or {{!}} to make the template unlinked.
