WPTaxoListGenerator python script, as of 2020-02-28.

Given a Family name, attempts to build and print a json structure of data from MSW3, Wikidata, IUCN, ADW, and Wikipedia, for use in a second script. Also prints IUCN refs.

Only tested with a few animal families in Carnivora; bugs to be expected and bug reports welcome. Bad Wikidata data will wreck it, and MSW3 is not always up to date.

Not packaged for easy reuse; needs python3 to run and expects your system to have Selenium, Pydash, and BeautifulSoup modules installed.

Alternate version that takes in a species name exists

Final json structure looks like (top level is list of subfamilies):
