Qualifiers
How can we add qualifiers to this? Right now, they're not displayed on species' pages. A good example is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craspedia_uniflora, which is Nationally Endangered, but also has the qualifiers DPR, DPS, DPT, PF added to that, which I can't show on the Wikipedia page at the moment.

Template needed
A range of diagrams for the differing conservation status levels exists at commons:Category:NZTCS Category diagrams. A template using these should be made and added to all species listed in the New Zealand Threat Classification System lists. A BIG job! Any such template should not override the IUCN Red List conservation status template. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 06:05, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
:There is a template, {{ping|Alan_Liefting}}. It is in the taxobox/speciesbox template system: Wikipedia:Conservation status#New Zealand: NZTCS. However, it seems out of date. But then again, so is this article. [http://www.doc.govt.nz/about-us/science-publications/conservation-publications/nz-threat-classification-system/ Current evaluations are here].

::There are now diagrams for both the original (2002) and revised (2008) TCS categories at commons:Category:NZTCS Category diagrams (Alan, I corrected the misprint in your link above). The template has also been updated but the categories DD and NT are not currently working. —Giantflightlessbirds (talk) 07:44, 4 September 2021 (UTC)

| Image:Status NZTCS RR.svg
|Range Restricted (RR): small population only found in a particular habitat or area. |Now a qualifier, not a NZTCS category |
| Image:Status NZTCS SP.svg
|Sparse (SP); rare and localised. |Now a qualifier, not a NZTCS category |
| Image:Status NZTCS GD.svg
|Gradual Decline (GD): a moderate to large population with a small to moderate rate of decline. |No longer a NZTCS category |
| Image:Status NZTCS SD.svg
|Serious Decline (SD): a moderate to large population with moderate to large predicted decline. |No longer a NZTCS category |
| —
|Naturally Uncommon (NU): naturally occurring as small or widely-scattered populations. |
| —
|Relict (REL): occupying less than 10% of their former range, but stable or increasing. |
| —
|Recovering (R): previously declining, but now showing an ongoing or predicted increase. |
| —
|Declining (D): buffered by a large population or a slow decline rate, but may become Threatened in the future. |

|Data Deficient (DD): insufficient information is available to make as assessment on conservation status. |
| Image:Status former NZTCS EX.svg
|Extinct (EX): there is no reasonable doubt that no individuals exist. For these lists only species that have become extinct since 1840 are listed. |
