Template:Species table/doc

Usage

Creates the top part of a wikitable for use in species lists, such as at List of felids. Closed with {{Species table/end}} (redirect for {{End}}). Interior rows can be either wikitable rows or preferably generated by {{Species table/row}}.

Fields:

• Required
  • genus
  • authority-name
  • authority-year
  • species-count
• Optional
  • authority-not-original (including this with any value adds parenthesis around the author citation; see Author citation (zoology))
  • no-note (removes IUCN footnote; otherwise assumes that a note titled "iucn" exists)
  • narrow-percent (number; changes width of table from 100% to specified percent)
  • sortable (makes table sortable)
  • no-ecology (removes the "Size and ecology" column)
  • no-iucn (removes the "IUCN status and estimated population" column)
  • no-subspecies (removes "and subspecies" from the "Scientific name and subspecies" column name)
  • group-name (Replaces "Genus" with different text, e.g. Subgenus)

Examples

Default

{{Species table |genus=Acinonyx |authority-name=[[Joshua Brookes|Brookes]] |authority-year=1828 |species-count=one}}

Genus Acinonyx – Brookes, 1828 – one species

Common name	Scientific name and subspecies	Range	Size and ecology	IUCN status and estimated population

no-note

With no-note=yes to remove the IUCN note on the last column

{{Species table |genus=Acinonyx |authority-name=[[Joshua Brookes|Brookes]] |authority-year=1828 |species-count=one |no-note=y}}
{{Species table/end}}

Genus Acinonyx – Brookes, 1828 – one species

Common name	Scientific name and subspecies	Range	Size and ecology	IUCN status and estimated population

authority-not-original

With |authority-not-original=yes set to mark that the authority did not originally use that genus name (see Author citation (zoology))

{{Species table |genus=Acinonyx |authority-name=[[Joshua Brookes|Brookes]] |authority-year=1828 |authority-not-original=yes |species-count=one |no-note=y}}
{{Species table/end}}

Genus Acinonyx – (Brookes, 1828) – one species

Common name	Scientific name and subspecies	Range	Size and ecology	IUCN status and estimated population

narrow-percent

With |narrow-percent=(number) to force the table to be less than full-page width; this should not normally be used, but can be helpful in some cases to allow side images to not push down the table (commonly encountered when sharing space with the infobox).

{{Species table |genus=Acinonyx |authority-name=[[Joshua Brookes|Brookes]] |authority-year=1828 |species-count=one |no-note=y |narrow-percent=75}}
{{Species table/end}}

Genus Acinonyx – Brookes, 1828 – one species

Common name	Scientific name and subspecies	Range	Size and ecology	IUCN status and estimated population

sortable

With |sortable=yes to change the table to be sortable; this is not recommended for lists containing multiple species tables, but may be useful for articles containing a single table. A table row is included in this example as otherwise the sorting arrows are not present.

{{Species table |genus=Acinonyx |authority-name=[[Joshua Brookes|Brookes]] |authority-year=1828 |species-count=one |no-note=y |sortable=yes}}
{{Species table/end}}

Genus Acinonyx – Brookes, 1828 – one species

Common name	Scientific name and subspecies	Range	Size and ecology	IUCN status and estimated population
Asian Golden Cat	C. temminckii Vigors & Horsfield, 1827 Two subspecies C. t. moormensis C. t. temminckii	Scattered areas of Southeast Asia	Size: 71–105 cm (28–41 in) long, 40–56 cm (16–22 in) tail Habitat: Forest, savanna, grassland, and shrubland Diet: Mostly unknown, with evidence of preying on rodents, squirrels, and snakes	NT  Unknown

no-ecology

With |no-ecology=yes to remove the "Size and ecology" column; this is not standard, but may be useful for articles where all of the species have very similar ecology to remove repetition. Consider also setting "narrow-percent" if the resulting table has too much empty space. A table row is included in this example to demonstrate the result; note that both the header template and each row have to have "no-ecology" set or else the table will be malformed.

{{Species table |genus=Acinonyx |authority-name=[[Joshua Brookes|Brookes]] |authority-year=1828 |species-count=one |no-note=y |no-ecology=yes}}
{{Species table/end}}

Genus Acinonyx – Brookes, 1828 – one species

Common name	Scientific name and subspecies	Range	IUCN status and estimated population
Asian Golden Cat	C. temminckii Vigors & Horsfield, 1827 Two subspecies C. t. moormensis C. t. temminckii	Scattered areas of Southeast Asia	NT  Unknown

no-iucn

With |no-iucn=yes to remove the "IUCN status and estimated population" column; this is not standard, but may be useful for articles where all of the species have no iucn evaluations to remove repetition. Consider also setting "narrow-percent" if the resulting table has too much empty space. A table row is included in this example to demonstrate the result; note that both the header template and each row have to have "no-iucn" set or else the table will be malformed.
