Motivation[edit]
A Template:Taxonbar (Q22741012) identifier (Q853614) with scientific names, Japanese/Chinese/Korean names, and bibliographic data, for Japanese plants; thank you, Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 16:36, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
- Note: citation data may be preferable to that in International Plant Names Index (Q922063), eg, Alnus hakkodensis (Q15378007) [2] vs. [3], Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 16:48, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
Discussion[edit]
Question How do you deal with taxonomic changes? It seems they treat Japanese common names as axes, not scientific names, so IDs will not make sense in some cases. For example, I show you hamayabukarashi (Jap.: ハマヤブカラシ) case where they abandoned connection of ID 37340 with Cayratia maritima Jackes, replacing the latter with its recombination Causonis maritima (Jackes) Jackes (vide 13 April 2023 et 24 February 2024). Currently Cayratia maritima has ID '49489' instead. --Eryk Kij (talk) 07:57, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
- Hmm, I guess it might be possible to look up changes between a future download and the current, but there is no apparent log of changes and the download(s) are not regularly updated; in your example, 37340 shows a data-editing date that is before the change you note; it might be possible to structure the proposed property formatter URL instead as a search (like the Wikispecies template), but I fear maintenance issues as YList is currently operated make this identifier non-viable; thank you, Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 10:11, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
- @エリック・キィ:, would you like to give your opinion based on the response? Regards, ZI Jony (Talk) 07:12, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
