Task/s: Create items for taxa based on data from GBIF

Code: Not entirely done yet, in Python

Function details: Upon being manually run (by me) and given either a GBIF species or genus ID, it will get data on that species or the species in that genus from GBIF. For each species, it will first search Wikidata for haswbstatement:P846=GBIF ID (an item that has that GBIF ID). If a page with that ID does not already exist(s), it will search for the scientific name. If there are result(s), it will ask for my input (if one of the results is the same species); if it is the same species, it will add GBIF taxon ID (P846) to the item. If there are no results for either search or the result(s) from the second search are not the same species, then there is probably no item on Wikidata for this taxon, and it will create a new item with title in English, description "species of generic common name in genus genus" (where I manually set the generic common name for each run), instance of (P31): taxon (Q16521), taxon name (P225), taxon rank (P105): species (Q7432), parent taxon (P171), GBIF taxon ID (P846).

In case anybody is wondering about the task number, TolBot is already operating on the English Wikipedia, and I keep track of task numbers globally; this is its first task on Wikidata. This task will also have cross-wiki components; here I am only explaining what it does on Wikidata.

They look fine to me. @BrokenSegue, what do you think? Tol (talk | contribs) @ 23:54, 21 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

wow so organized. yeah so it generally looks good. personally I'd prefer to see references being added when you import data. something like this. When you are doing connections based on the label of the taxon a reference like this might be appropriate. for extra credit you could do this but it's a bit much. anyways generally LGTM. BrokenSegue (talk) 00:05, 22 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@BrokenSegue: Alright, I'll implement those references and qualifiers. Thanks for letting me know! Tol (talk | contribs) @ 00:33, 22 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I'll probably run another test in a few days with these modifications: references added to parent taxon (P171) & taxon name (P225); based on heuristic (P887) as a qualifier to added GBIF taxon ID (P846); subject named as (P1810) as a qualifier to GBIF taxon ID (P846).

 Info There are alone more than 1,000,000 accepted species missing an GBIF taxon ID (P846) or an item. Around 150,000 are plants. --Succu (talk) 17:44, 27 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Succu: If you think creating items based on GBIF is unreliable, how about just adding GBIF taxon ID (P846)? Tol (talk | contribs) @ 18:01, 27 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Tol: This seems to be stale, is this still active? Perhaps @Ymblanter, Lymantria: could comment? Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 22:15, 18 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Mike Peel, yes, this is somewhat inactive, but I'd like to continue with it. Tol (talk | contribs) @ 22:43, 18 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I'm okay with this request. I will approve in a couple of days, provided that no objections will be raised. Lymantria (talk) 06:27, 19 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
