List of rabbit breeds
Hello Timbuk-2! I have seen the List of rabbit breeds article, and you seem to have contributed a lot to that article. I have found that many rabbit breeds that aren't recognized the the American Rabbit Breeders Association or the British Rabbit Council are short and without many reliable sources. I have created a sandbox that would be (hopefully) the page List of unrecognized rabbit breeds. Could you please give me feedback on the idea? My sandbox is User:DestinationFearFan/sandbox. Feel free to edit it as well, as it is not completed. DestinationFearFan (talk) 18:38, 28 January 2021 (UTC)

Sorry to bother you again. On my sandbox, some of the rabbit breeds I have typed are not there. If I click edit, they show up, but when changes are published, they aren't there. Do you know how to fix this or who to go to? DestinationFearFan (talk) 19:55, 28 January 2021 (UTC)

Weird. I got a lot of great help by searching the Help Desk archives. If no luck there (and you'd be surprised how much helpful stuff IS there), you can contact the Help Desk directly. Good luck (but not the rabbit's foot kind) with it. -T2. Timbuk-2 (talk) 19:59, 28 January 2021 (UTC)

Thank you! The solution was there. Just wondering: you seem to know a lot about rabbits. Do you have one has a pet, or just have a passion for them? DestinationFearFan (talk) 22:06, 28 January 2021 (UTC)

Having one as a house rabbit, and then several more over the years, opened me up to their magic. I tried to learn all I could from & about them. Such sprites! And you? How did you come to be under their charm? Do you know bunny language (e.g. teeth-clicking, tongue flashes, ear waggles)? Fascinating stuff. -T2. Timbuk-2 (talk) 22:24, 28 January 2021 (UTC)

Same for me, growing up with a pet rabbit. I currently have 4 rabbits, and I just love them. DestinationFearFan (talk) 16:24, 29 January 2021 (UTC)


 * I have came up with some titles that may work. Could you tell me which one sounds the best to you? (If you have an idea, that would also be welcome)


 * 1) List of unrecognized rabbit breeds
 * 2) List of rabbit breeds not recognized by the ARBA or the BRC
 * 3) Rabbit breeds not recognized by the ARBA or the BRC
 * 4) List of rabbit breeds not recognized by the American Rabbit Breeders Association or the British Rabbit Council
 * 5) Rabbit breeds not recognized by the American Rabbit Breeders Association or the British Rabbit Council

The current table format is powerful because it can be sorted on any/all of its columns, and each breed listed in the table has a link to its own individual page. I see that as a very efficient and effective way to present this particular data: macro (associational) plus micro (individual) levels of granularity. I vote for improving the current table with tweaks & refinements, but not changing its underlying structure. Thanks for asking my opinion. What do others think? -T2.

Idea
Hello again! I had an idea I wanted to run by you. On the list of rabbit breeds article, the table is pretty big and long. Would it be better if the table was deleted and there was sections for the rabbit breeds? An example is down bellow. (Bold represents a heading and Italics represents a subheading)

Rabbits recognized by ARBA and BRC

Rabbit 1

Rabbit 1 is a breed.

Rabbits recognized by only the ARBA

Rabbit 2

Rabbit 2 is a breed.

Rabbits recognized by only the BRC

Rabbit 3

Rabbit 3 is a breed.

Rabbits not recognized by the ARBA and BRC

Rabbit 4

Rabbit 4 is a breed.

Ok, that makes sense. Thanks for responding to me! Also, could you tell me what title you like best above? DestinationFearFan (talk) 17:37, 2 February 2021 (UTC)

If you're wanting to create a separate list -- without subtracting anything from the current, big, "mother" list -- that's fine: go for it.

But if you feel strongly about reducing the size of the mother list -- instead of just using the "sort" functions to temporarily group data -- then I would definitely encourage you to seek more feedback before subtracting anything (which I am firmly opposed to).

For an ADDED list, I vote for your title option #4. (It's clunky, but I believe it follows Wikipedia rules, guidelines, and norms.)

Thanks again for the opportunity to offer feedback. I appreciate your cooperative spirit and I admire your willingness to devote good time, energy, and know-how to advancing rabbit info via Wikipedia! -T2. Timbuk-2 (talk) 17:57, 2 February 2021 (UTC)

Ok, thank you again, so much. You've been very helpful! DestinationFearFan (talk) 18:07, 2 February 2021 (UTC)

The page has been created at List of rabbit breeds not recognized by the American Rabbit Breeders Association or the British Rabbit Council. I will wait a day or two and then I will start creating redirect pages to the article. DestinationFearFan (talk) 18:17, 2 February 2021 (UTC)
