Usage
editCreates 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 (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)
Examples
editDefault
edit{{Species table |genus=Acinonyx |authority-name=[[Joshua Brookes|Brookes]] |authority-year=1828 |species-count=one}}
Common name | Scientific name and subspecies | Range | Size and ecology | IUCN status and estimated population[a] |
---|
no-note
editWith 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}}
Common name | Scientific name and subspecies | Range | Size and ecology | IUCN status and estimated population |
---|
authority-not-original
editWith |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}}
Common name | Scientific name and subspecies | Range | Size and ecology | IUCN status and estimated population |
---|
narrow-percent
editWith |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.
{{Species table |genus=Acinonyx |authority-name=[[Joshua Brookes|Brookes]] |authority-year=1828 |species-count=one |no-note=y |narrow-percent=75}}
{{Species table/end}}
Common name | Scientific name and subspecies | Range | Size and ecology | IUCN status and estimated population |
---|
sortable
editWith |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}}
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

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 |

no-ecology
editWith |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}}
Common name | Scientific name and subspecies | Range | IUCN status and estimated population |
---|---|---|---|

group-name
editWith |group-name=(text) to change the named grouping from "Genus" to something different, e.g. "Subgenus" or "Tribe"
{{Species table |genus=Acinonyx |group-name=Subgenus |authority-name=[[Joshua Brookes|Brookes]] |authority-year=1828 |species-count=one |no-note=y}}
{{Species table/end}}
Common name | Scientific name and subspecies | Range | Size and ecology | IUCN status and estimated population |

Notes
edit- ^ A note with the name "iucn" must be defined and a {{notelist}} template present unless the "no-note" parameter is included. Otherwise, an error will be displayed at the bottom of the page. The normal note text is:
Population figures rounded to the nearest hundred. Population trends as described by the International Union for Conservation of Nature.
