Just playing with ideas for taxoboxes. I think it would be a vast improvement to have the IUCN conservaton categories as part of the taxoboxes - (a) because that is very important information, (b) because, seeing as we are using so much screen real estate for the taxoboxes already, we might as well make them work a bit harder for their living, ad (c) becasuse it's one of the few items of information that is always present for any animal: i.e., all animals have a conservation category, even if it is just "data deficient".

The one at right, in the new wiki markup, seems OK to me. Feedback on this would be nice.

Obviously, the next step would be to create about half a dozen redirects from (e.g.) Status: secure, Status: endangered and Status: extinct to a page called Conservation status (or something like that). Right now, that page exists but is dedicated to another purpose, no matter, another destination can be found easily enough.
