We have categories for Taxa named by [individual author]. What do we do with taxa that have multiple authors, or that have so many authors that are often authored as [first author] et al.? Do we only refer to the first author, or to all of them, each in their own category of course? — Snoteleks (talk) 10:19, 12 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
There is a discussion on the notability of species at Wikipedia talk:Notability#Biology that may be of interest to members of this WikiProject. Choess (talk) 02:27, 30 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
Every virus species has been renamed in the last few years. I've started a discussion at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Viruses#Titles_for_species_articles to get a sense for whether we should be using the current species names for the titles of articles. Wikipedia has ~1000 articles on virus species. Plantdrew (talk) 18:22, 30 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hi, I've proposed to merge Neodiapsida into Diapsida, since the two are largely synonymous. Discussion can be found here. —Trilletrollet [ Talk | Contribs ] 13:49, 6 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
This Wikiproject is likely to be interested in the following discussions: Wikipedia talk:Notability#Biology and Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)#Species notability. Crossroads -talk- 02:01, 26 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
{{make cite iucn}}
will now create a {{cite iucn}}
template from the IUCN's Green Status assessment citation. Here is an example from IUCN's Iberian Lynx page:
{{make cite iucn |Ortiz, F.J.S., Carlton, E., Lanz, T. & Breitenmoser, U. 2023. Lynx pardinus (Green Status assessment). The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species 2023: e.T12520A1252020241.Accessed on 30 June 2024.}}
{{cite iucn |author=Ortiz, F.J.S. |author2=Carlton, E. |author3=Lanz, T. |author4=Breitenmoser, U. |year=2023 |type=Green Status assessment |title=''Lynx pardinus'' |volume=2023 |page=e.T12520A1252020241 |doi= |access-date=30 June 2024}}
‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Cite IUCN maint lists ten articles that have urls that {{cite iucn}}
does not recognize as valid (valid urls link to a species assessment page). Grouped by unknown url, these articles are:
|url=https://www.iucnredlist.org/en
– reader hostile; it is pointless to link to the IUCN red list as a whole; links should be specific to the species
|url=https://www.iucnredlist.org/
– reader hostile; as above
|url=http://www.iucnredlist.org/search
– reader hostile;
I intend to modify Module:Cite IUCN to promote unknown url messaging from maintenancetoerror status.

Another maintenance message to be promoted to error status is no identifier. At this writing, only one article has a {{cite iucn}}
template emitting that message:

In preparation for the above, I have refactored the error messaging code in Module:Cite IUCN. Report any anomalies here.
