Please note that ultimately all breed standard documents should also be cited in the main article prose for specific facts about the breed (usually appearance), and URLs to them in citation templates should also have archiveurl versions.

Parameters

All fields are optional. URLs should be entered as is, without wiki markup except for the "otherstd" field.

Basic parameters
  • name: Most common name of the breed (or landrace, crossbreed, hybrid, etc.). Should agree with article title (aside from any parenthetical disambiguation) and lead sentence, not use an alternative name
  • image: Image file of the breed. Enter as Example.jpg instead of Image:Example.jpg or File:Example.jpg
  • imagecaption: Caption that describes the image (e.g. gender, coat pattern and color, etc.)
  • image2: Second image file of the breed.
  • imagecaption2: Caption that describes the second image
  • altname: Other reliably sourceable names by which the breed is known to English-speakers. It is also permissible to include the name in the native language, if it uses a Latin script, for breeds or landraces that genuinely came from a non-English-speaking place. If more than one name, separate with ,<br />. Same capitalization rules as the name parameter, except for a non-English name, follow the style used in running prose (not headings) in the native-language sources. Non-English names should be wrapped in a correctly specified {{lang}} template, e.g. {{lang|de|Deutsche Langhaar}}. For more detailed language information, use the main body of the article.
  • nickname: Genuinely common, reliably sourceable nicknames. If more than one, separate with ,<br />. If there are no nicknames in reliable sources, remove the parameter to discourage the addition of made up examples. Except for the first letter of the parameter value, do not capitalize nicknames.
  • stock: List of foundation stock – the breeds, landraces, or other populations from which the breed was developed, if any are known. May include a wild species or subspecies in the case of a feline hybrid that has been developed into a breed, e.g.: |stock=[[Egyptian Mau]], [[Abyssinian]], and others (domestic); [[Asian leopard cat]] (wild) for the Bengal cat.
  • origin (a.k.a. country): Country or region/area of origin. Do not use flag icons; cats have no nationality and are not patriots.
International registries (use these four at a minimum, if they provide a standard)
  • cfastd: URL to the Cat Fanciers' Association breed standard. Find it here (pick breed name, then "Breed Standard" from the "Breed Profile" inset box on the breed-profile page). This registry is now international, but has its strongest presence in the US, followed by Europe and Japan.
  • fifestd: URL to the Fédération Internationale Féline breed standard. Find it here. This registry has its strongest presence in Europe and parts of Latin America, though is nominally world-wide.
  • fifestd2: Optional URL to a second Fédération Internationale Féline breed standard. Use this when FIFé has two separate breed standards for variants of the breed (e.g. Seychellois Longhair and Seychellois Shorthair), typically handled as two divisions in one breed standard in other registries.
  • fifeterm1: characters (e.g. "SH") to link from for fifestd when fifestd2 is also used; defaults to "1"
  • fifeterm2: characters (e.g. "LH") to link from for fifestd2; defaults to "2"
  • ticastd: URL to The International Cat Association breed standard. Find it here (copy the URL of the "Breed Introduction" link for the desired breed). This registry is nominally world-wide, but has its strongest presence in the US.
  • wcfstd: URL to the World Cat Federation breed standard. Find it here: long-haired, semi-long-haired, short-haired and Siamese & oriental divisions. Please use the URL of the PDF link at the bottom of the breed profile page (the PDF version includes additional information, such as revision date). Those are all the lists of WCF "accepted" (for competition) breeds; see also this list of all breeds that are "recognized" (as existing) by WCF. This registry has its strongest presence in Europe, though is nominally world-wide.

   Another, recent, nominally international registry (its affiliates are primarily US-based), primarily for experimental new breeds, most of which are non-notable:

Regional multi-national registries
  • ffestd: URL to the Feline Federation Europe breed standard. Find it here, under "Races Standard" in its left menu. (Due to use of frames at that site, you have to right-click or ctrl-click and select "copy link" or your browser's equivalent, to get the actual direct URL of the standards page you want. If you replace www.ffe-europe.de/ with www.bavarian-cfa.de/data/ffe/ in the URL, you can use the resulting new URL to get the underlying static file, from which the last-modified date is the actual publication date; FFE's site is dynamically generated from files hosted statically by the BCFA site run by the same webmaster on the same server). This registry, based in Germany, has its strongest presence in Western and Central Europe.
National registries
  • acfastd2: URL to a second American Cat Fanciers Association/Cat Aficionado Association breed standard. Use this when the ACFA/CAA has two separate breed standards for variants of the breed (e.g. American Bobtail Longhair and American Bobtail Shorthair), typically handled as two divisions in one breed standard in other registries
  • acfaterm1: characters to link (e.g. "SH") from for acfastd when acfastd2 is also used; defaults to "1"
  • acfaterm2: characters to link (e.g. "LH") from for acfastd2; defaults to "2"
Other parameters
  • otherstd: Free-form field for adding names or acronyms of other registries, with links to their breed standards
  • note: Free-form concise comments, usually about the breed recognition or standards. Some example uses:
    • Recognition by organizations (private or governmental) that do not issue breed standards, e.g.: "Recognized by the ARBA."
    • Major registries that refuse to recognize a breed recognized by most others, e.g.: "Not recognized by [linked acronym of conservative registry here]."
      • Briefly mentioning classification issues, e.g.: "Classified as just a variant of the [other breed named and linked here] by [linked acronym of conservative registry here]."
      • Showing unusual status limitations, e.g.: "Not eligible for championship status in linked acronym of conservative registry here] shows."
      • For landraces and other non-breed populations, can indicate what they are, e.g.: "Landrace.", or "Feral cat population.", or "Crossbreed, with provisional recognition as a breed in one major registry."
This parameter is not for breed-specific or local/regional clubs.
Special parameters

There are two special parameters that can be used in place of those for links to breed standards:

  • extinct=y: Shows an "Extinct" message. This parameter should be removed if not used (and do not try extinct=n; it does not work).
  • notrecognized=y or notrecognised=y: Shows a "Not recognized as a standardized breed by any major registry." message. The |notrecognised=y version outputs the British and Commonwealth English -ised spelling. This parameter (under either spelling) should be removed if not used. Also, if both are accidentally included, the -ised spelling will be used.

If a "notrecogni[s|z]ed" or "extinct" parameter is used, all URL fields should be removed. (A link to a former breed recognition document should be added as a regular source citation in the article text about the breed history).

Another special parameter is for cross-species hybrids (not crossbreeds between two domestic breeds with no recent wild ancestor):

  • x: The value of the parameter is the wikilinked binomial (scientific name) – piped with Felis abbreviated as F. – of the non-domestic cat to which domestics have been bred to produce the hybrid. It will be italicized for you. E.g., a value of "|x=[[Felis chaus|F. chaus]]" outputs a result of "Hybrid cat, Felis catus × F. chaus" at the bottom of the infobox, instead of "Domestic cat, Felis catus". For an intergeneric hybrid, use the full name of the genus: |x=[[Prionailurus bengalensis]].

Another special parameter is for non-breed types:

  • landrace=y (a.k.a. cross=y): Indicates that the article subject is a landrace, crossbreed, mongrelized population, feral population, general type, domestic × wild hybrid, or other classification of cat that is not a standardized breed. This is usually also used with notrecognized=y (above), and should not be used with any parameters for breed standards, except when the article is about both a landrace and a breed (better done with two infoboxes in two sections), or a crossbreed gaining limited recognition as a standardized breed.

Registries not included

Various obscure, localized, or questionably appropriate (e.g. for-profit and promotional) registries do not have custom parameters; if really needed, their standards can be added with the otherstd parameter, as documented above. Be suspicious of anything with a global- or national-sounding name that didn't exist 10 years ago, doesn't have a professionally designed website, and looks like a one-person operation, with no notability even in the specialist press. Search for things like "fake purebred cat registry" and read the warning posts. Beware being tricked into promoting a made-up "new breed" that the real world does not accept as legitimate. There is real money in this, thus an incentive for those trying to establish a breed to misuse Wikipedia as a form of advertising and legitimacy-establishment for "backyard breeder" experiments. There is a truly massive problem in dog breeding in the form of puppy mills and exploitative pseudo-organizations
