Looking at a few of the templates in that latter category, it seems that they are more navboxes between individual species, geni, taxa, etc - not between species articles and more 'philosophical' topics such as "history of the cat". I'm not sure that this recategorisation is necessary. Happy‑melon16:25, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hey! Protected template. AWESOME.
So, why isn't American Shorthair in the breeds section of this template? It's a rather common breed; heck, the article itself states that it's the 8th most popular. I believe it should be added, and would like someone with the proper privileges to do so please. :) --kaoskastle(Talk)00:26, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
You should use the proper template to attract attention. Like here:

Please add [[Veterinary anesthesia|Anesthesia]] to health section. Can this be changed to semi-protect? It was only one vandal. I don't think this is much of a vandalism target.--Dodo bird (talk) 11:21, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'm proposing the following addition of Cat Aficionado Association and Dragon Li be added in order to reflect a more updated template (*See following modified sections of template for reference).
Please add Feline hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (abbreviated as HCM) to the Health section. It's a fairly common genetic heart disease among Maine Coons, Ragdolls, and other domestic cats. If left untreated, it leads to an extremely painful process of blood clots breaking off of the heart and blocking the cat's hind legs' arteries, causing paralysis. It's estimated that 1/3 of Maine Coons have this disease. Information about HCM is vital knowledge for cat owners and researchers.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Wo0ter08 (talk • contribs)
Done, though I added it as a pipe to the section of the article dealing with the cat disorder, as opposed to using the redirect to the article mainly on the human disorder. I also alphabetized the entire template.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 14:37, 31 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Any objections to replacing the template with a collapsible one like this? It would allow a more inclusive list of breeds (and diseases) without becoming too unwieldy. Whether the other top level topics should have its own sections can be discussed. --Dodo bird (talk) 03:44, 15 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I don't object to the reorganization, and only mildly (symbolically) object to the multiple-collapsing sections. (The [show/hide] links irritate me throughout Wikipedia!)
I do however strongly object to the removal of multiple subsections of multiple links. Could you add those to your sandboxed demonstration? -- Quiddity (talk) 22:08, 15 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Like this? It looks a little strange with everything collapsed and centered. But I think there are codes to make selected sections show as expanded, as a default setting or on a per article basis.
I made an edit to the template yesterday, but wondered afterwards whether I'd been too bold. In case further discussion is required, here's a larger explanation of the changes than would fit in the edit summary:
Deaf white cat: page about congenital deafness, not coat color, so moved out of Coat genetics section (also updated to new page name of Congenital sensorineural deafness in cats)
Veterinary anesthesia: not cat-specific (and no other general "veterinary" articles are included in this template)
Cat-scratch disease: a disease which affects humans, but in which the causative bacteria is spread to humans by cats, so moved it to the Human–cat interaction section
New section for Diseases and disorders: If health is the state of being free of disease, then including a long list of diseases under health seems illogical, but (more importantly) made it difficult to find the true "health" items buried in the list. I used Diseases and disorders rather than just Diseases since diseases cause "discomfort and dysfuntion", and that does not apply to conditions with a lack of usual function which don't cause discomfort (e.g., deafness).
