Template:Species table

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

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 perferably 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)
  • group-name (Replaces "Genus" with different text, e.g. Subgenus)

Genus Acinonyx – Brookes, 1828 – one species

Common name	Scientific name and subspecies	Range	Size and ecology	IUCN status and estimated population</syntaxhighlight> 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 <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline> Genus Acinonyx – Brookes, 1828 – one species Common name Scientific name and subspecies Range Size and ecology IUCN status and estimated population</syntaxhighlight> <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline> </syntaxhighlight> 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)) <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline> Genus Acinonyx – (Brookes, 1828) – one species Common name Scientific name and subspecies Range Size and ecology IUCN status and estimated population</syntaxhighlight> <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline> </syntaxhighlight> 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. <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline> Genus Acinonyx – Brookes, 1828 – one species Common name Scientific name and subspecies Range Size and ecology IUCN status and estimated population</syntaxhighlight> <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline> </syntaxhighlight> 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. <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline> Genus Acinonyx – Brookes, 1828 – one species Common name Scientific name and subspecies Range Size and ecology IUCN status and estimated population</syntaxhighlight> <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline> </syntaxhighlight> 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. <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline> Genus Acinonyx – Brookes, 1828 – one species Common name Scientific name and subspecies Range IUCN status and estimated population</syntaxhighlight> <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline> </syntaxhighlight> 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 group-name With |group-name=(text) to change the named grouping from "Genus" to something different, e.g. "Subgenus" or "Tribe" <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline> Subgenus Acinonyx – Brookes, 1828 – one species Common name Scientific name and subspecies Range Size and ecology IUCN status and estimated population</syntaxhighlight> <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline> </syntaxhighlight> Subgenus Acinonyx – Brookes, 1828 – one species Common name Scientific name and subspecies Range Size and ecology IUCN status and estimated population See also {{Plant genera table}} {{Animal genera table}} {{Paleospecies table}} Notes The above documentation is transcluded from Template:Species table/doc.
