misapprehending the editorial community as basically a userbase playing a game/forum the "company" is publishing

Brilliant turn of phrase from SMcC, though I’m not sure how much the Foundation, in its love affair with Affiliates and GLAMs, sees itself as a software company.

An excursion into Wikidata taxonomy
Well, I created Q83949475 Claremontiella (genus novum) and Q83950882 Claremontiella nodulosa (comb. nov.), but along the way I had to make items for people and journal articles and other taxa, oh my! Definitely not straightforward. d:Wikidata:WikiProject Taxonomy has lists of properties to use with taxa, and other guidance.

Meanwhile over at Wikispecies
Ergalataxinae is being updated by a bot, it already has entries for Claremontiella and Lauta. But 23 of 24 genera are redlinks or mislinks.

Compare d:Special:WhatLinksHere/Q5385781, which shows 12 items for genera in the subfamily. en-WP Ergalataxinae has 20 genera, but all are blue. fr-WP has 4/19 blue, and nl-WP has 19/19.
