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 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)

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

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))

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.

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.

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.

group-name
With |group-name=(text) to change the named grouping from "Genus" to something different, e.g. "Subgenus" or "Tribe"
