;Why do you want to start a new group, instead of joining one of these existing groups?

The coverage of rabbits in greatly insufficient. Plus, dogs and cats have their own projects, other general animal classifications also need their own as well.

  • Though the nominator has now been blocked for ban evasion - something I hope unrelated to the idea of a Rabbit WikiProject - I would like to add my support for the idea. As a rabbit lover myself I'd certainly been a contributor, and as evidenced above there is scope for it. --S.G.(GH) ping! 17:52, 13 October 2013 (UTC)
  • I think the horse pages are a really good template for organisation. Halon8 (talk) 17:45, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
  • This is what I suggested about a year ago. It's just an idea but I thought I might as well repeat it

Create new page(s):

Rabbit care and nutrition (to include housing, coprophagy and digestive system)

Rabbit health and diseases (to include vet care, use of disease as control, etc)

Rabbit breeding and genetics

Improve rabbit by moving information to european rabbit (e.g. info about domestic rabbits) and adding in more non-european rabbit specific information.

Merge european rabbit, domestic rabbit and house rabbit, moving info to new pages above.

Take out care and behaviour sections from pages on rabbit breeds (apart from breed specific requirements) and merge these pages where there is insufficient information for individual pages. If these get bigger they can be put back in individual articles. Halon8 (talk) 17:49, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
