The article lacks information about lynx-point pattern (tabby-point). It also should mention that point, mink and sepia colorations can coexist with bicolor effect (Snowshoe, Ragdoll, Birman etc.) 78.131.137.50 (talk) 23:08, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
Many domesticated rodents have been bred for point coloration, such as fancy mice, rats, gerbils, and guinea pigs. Though distantly related, rabbits are not rodents, so that family hasn't been represented. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.147.231.40 (talk) 16:48, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
Bengals actually have all three variations of the color points within the breed as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.120.241.68 (talk) 18:51, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

Since this article spans multiple mammal species which use the term "points" but in different ways, this article is actually a top-level article on the subject of points. It should have summary information about "what are points" for each species, with branches off to more specific types of point articles, such as Cat coat genetics, Dog coat genetics, Acromelanism, and Equine coat color.
I will be moving (merging) the [currently too lengthy, and too technical] horse information into Equine coat color, and leaving behind a summary of horse points.
Since "point coloration" is not the main term, but "points" is, I recommend renaming (moving) this article back to its original title of Points (coat color), or something similar/related. ▶ I am Grorp ◀ 02:01, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
Most of what is discussed is not even referred to as point colouration by the sources. Their connection to the article is OR, and erroneous OR I might add. Hence why the redirect is best as a black faced white woolen sheep is not 'point coloured' at all. Actual point colouration in rabbits, rats, dogs, and cats is caused by acromelanism.

Point coloration → Points (coat color) – This article is about color markings in several different species. Though such markings are not created by the same genetic issues cross-species, such marking patterns are referred to by the same word "points" (plural, not singular). The original name, "Points (coat color)", is the most fitting name. The article was renamed to "Point coloration" around the time the article was predominantly about cats and other small animal species which exhibit colorations caused by acromelanism (with horses shoehorned into the article). However, other species aren't colored by acromelanism, don't particularly use the term "point coloration", but all refer to "points" when describing certain coat color schemes. ▶ I am Grorp ◀ 01:43, 21 October 2024 (UTC)
