A dolphin species page is family (Delphinidae or one of the river-dolphin families), binomial, range, habitat, length, pod size, diet, IUCN status, and identifying marks. Hand-built dolphin directories drift on length units, pod-size descriptions ('small groups' vs '5-15 individuals'), range strings, and family classification across the river-dolphin lineages.

SleekRank reads a dolphin sheet and renders one page per row at /dolphins/{slug}/ using a base WordPress page. Family and binomial slot into tag mappings, range and pod size into selector mappings, identifying marks and prey into list mappings. The base page owns the layout; the sheet owns the values.

The sample table shows the structure: bottlenose-dolphin (Delphinidae, global temperate-tropical, 2-4 m, Least Concern, pods of 10-30), common-dolphin (Delphinidae, global, 1.7-2.4 m, Least Concern, large pods 100-500), spinner-dolphin (Delphinidae, tropical, 1.3-2.4 m, Least Concern, mixed-size pods), amazon-river-dolphin (Iniidae, Amazon and Orinoco basins, 2-2.5 m, Endangered, solitary or small groups), orca (Delphinidae, global, 6-8 m, Data Deficient, family pods).

Dolphin content sits at the intersection of public interest and conservation reality, and prose-style posts tend to weight the former over the latter. River-dolphin species (Amazon, South Asian, Yangtze) are in serious trouble, and reader-facing pages should reflect their IUCN status alongside their wider-family Delphinidae cousins consistently. Family classification has shifted across the river-dolphin lineages over the last two decades, and stale labels on hand-built posts mislead readers about taxonomic relationships.

SleekRank pins every dolphin page to a single source where family, range, IUCN status, and pod structure live as structured fields. Bulk updates after a taxonomic revision, after a conservation reassessment, or after new pod-structure findings from acoustic-tracking programs become a sheet edit instead of a multi-page audit. Marine mammal references, dolphin-watching operators, and field-guide companions all benefit; readers get accurate conservation context, operators offer realistic encounter information, and the catalog stays aligned with current cetacean science.
