Editing Template:Taxobox/doc (section)

===== Status code =====
Set the relevant status '''code''' from the selected system. The code should use upper and lower case as specified [[Wikipedia:Conservation status|per system documentation]]. It may also be possible to use a template instead of the code{{Citation needed|date=September 2019|reason=Is this still supported, and when is it useful?}}.

You can search the [[International Union for Conservation of Nature|IUCN]]'s [http://www.iucnredlist.org/ database of threatened species] to find the conservation status of many organisms.

With each system having different codes, please refer to [[Wikipedia:Conservation status|system documentation]] for the available codes.

The following list is kept in the documentation for historic reasons (the third column shows the category that is automatically added to the article):
