Taxonomy templates
Hi. Thanks for creating the page Cryptodifflugia leachi. I have edited this page to use a Speciesbox in accordance with Automated_taxobox_system/taxonomy_templates. If you have a read it says it is not normally necessary to create taxonomy templates for species or lower ranks and gives an explanation of the common cases for taxonomy template creation. The list of taxonomy templates that exist for species is, which is essentially a list of special cases. Unnecessary taxonomy templates go to await deletion. Thanks. YorkshireExpat (talk) 19:51, 14 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the explanation, I understand now, thanks. Snoteleks (talk) 10:16, 16 July 2022 (UTC)

Rhopalophora (beetle) moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Rhopalophora (beetle), is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Hitro talk 08:50, 15 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Sorry, I'm not the creator of that article, I only moved all info from Rhopalophora to Rhopalophora (beetle), and made Rhopalophora a disambiguation page. I wasn't involved in the creation of that info in any way. You might want to ask the original creator of Rhopalophora. Snoteleks (talk) 09:01, 15 September 2022 (UTC)

 * Hello, Snoteleks,
 * I recommend you tag every category in Category:Protista articles by quality and Category:Protista articles by importance with an tag on them or else they will be tagged as empty categories for speedy deletion, CSD C1. Empty category tags is typically what is done for WikiProject categories so I'll wait a day before tagging the empty ones for speedy deletion. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 05:22, 25 October 2022 (UTC)

Template:Taxonomy/Ochrophyta
It's difficult to know exactly what to do about Template:Taxonomy/Ochrophyta. I agree that it should ideally not be set to be the same as Template:Taxonomy/Ochrophytina. But the problem is that there are articles with taxoboxes that use Template:Taxonomy/Ochrophyta that therefore show the hierarchy Phylum Gyrista – Subphylum Ochrophytina, so that if a simple change is made as you did, all their taxoboxes will change, which may not be what is intended. Also we can't end up with the hierarchy Phylum Gyrista – Phylum Ochrophyta. I created Template:Taxonomy/Ochrophyta/Phylum to deal with cases where the hierarchy should run Heterokonta – Phylum Ochrophyta.

Ideally, every article that uses Template:Taxonomy/Ochrophyta or Template:Taxonomy/Ochrophytina needs to be reviewed to see what is intended. If it's Phylum Ochrophyta, then ensure that it uses Template:Taxonomy/Ochrophyta/Phylum; if it's Subphylum Ochrophytina, then insure that it uses Template:Taxonomy/Ochrophytina. When they are all sorted, then Template:Taxonomy/Ochrophyta/Phylum can be moved to Template:Taxonomy/Ochrophyta and left as a 'redirect' (using same_as). Peter coxhead (talk) 09:56, 16 November 2022 (UTC)


 * @Peter coxhead What do you mean it shouldn't be the same? Ochrophytina is the new treatment for ochrophytes, the hierarchy should be Heterokont - Phylum Gyrista - Subphylum Ochrophytina. I strongly disagree with maintaining two different taxonomies in different articles. There's no need to maintain an old outdated one as far as I've seen. Can you link me to an example of an article that, according to you, requires Ochrophyta instead of Ochrophytina? ☽ Snoteleks  ☾ ☽  Snoteleks  ☾ 10:04, 16 November 2022 (UTC)


 * I'm not saying that either hierarchy should be used (it's not an area where I have any up-to-date knowledge), merely that if you change a taxonomy template it propagates to all the articles that use it. If you are sure that this is correct, then the correct procedure is not to try to make Template:Taxonomy/Ochrophyta the same as Template:Taxonomy/Ochrophytina, but to change the taxoboxes and taxonomy templates that use Template:Taxonomy/Ochrophyta to use Template:Taxonomy/Ochrophytina.
 * Look at Template:Taxonomy/Pelagophyceae for example. This contains Ochrophyta, referenced to WoRMS, which has Phylum Ochrophyta. If you believe that this is the wrong hierarchy, then change Template:Taxonomy/Pelagophyceae to have Ochrophytina, with a reference.
 * At present, it's a total muddle, since many taxonomy templates have their parent set to Phylum Ochrophyta but display Subphylum Ochrophytina. It's what results from trying to redirect taxonomy templates, instead of fixing them properly by changing the parent of the subordinates. My actions are just a temporary fix to prevent Phylum Gyrista – Phylum Ochrophyta appearing anywhere. Peter coxhead (talk) 10:30, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
 * These are the taxonomy templates where you need to change the parent and reference if you want use Subphylum Ochrophytina:
 * Template:Taxonomy/Actinochrysophyceae
 * Template:Taxonomy/Bolidophyceae
 * Template:Taxonomy/Chrysomerophyceae
 * Template:Taxonomy/Chrysophyceae
 * Template:Taxonomy/Dictyochophyceae
 * Template:Taxonomy/Eustigmatophyceae
 * Template:Taxonomy/Pelagophyceae
 * Template:Taxonomy/Phaeothamniophyceae
 * Template:Taxonomy/Pinguiophyceae
 * Template:Taxonomy/Raphidophyceae
 * Template:Taxonomy/Synchromophyceae
 * Template:Taxonomy/Synurophyceae
 * Template:Taxonomy/Xanthophyceae
 * You would also need to check that the articles affected don't say anything about Phylum Ochrophyta. I repeat that I have no view on whether this change should be made or not. Peter coxhead (talk) 10:39, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
 * @Peter coxhead Thank you, I will be handling them as soon as I can! ☽ Snoteleks  ☾ 11:25, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
 * No, no, no! You must not move taxonomy templates! Those you've moved need to be moved back. If you don't understand how taxonomy templates work, please ask first. You can change the parent, fine, but the title of the taxonomy template and the taxon it points to MUST match. Peter coxhead (talk) 16:27, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
 * @Peter coxhead But I'm also changing the taxon it points to, though. Is that still a problem? I'm not moving any template without also moving the taxon page it links to, and every taxobox seems fine after the two changes. ☽ Snoteleks  ☾ 16:29, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I guess my comment isn't clear. For example, Template:Taxonomy/Pedinellia is fine. But Template:Taxonomy/Actinochrysophyceae must not redirect to it. Pedinellia is one taxon; Actinochrysophyceae is another. If you don't want a lower level taxonomy template or a taxobox to point to Template:Taxonomy/Actinochrysophyceae, then you must change it to point to the new one at Template:Taxonomy/Pedinellia. Peter coxhead (talk) 16:33, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
 * How do I point to the new one? Do I just write "|same_as="? Does this have the same effect as a page move and redirect? Also, for future reference, what do I do if a taxon that has a template goes defunct? ☽ Snoteleks  ☾ 16:41, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
 * @Peter coxhead (not sure if you're being notified unless I tag you) ☽ Snoteleks  ☾ 17:03, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

Ok, let's take a simple example. Family Xidae has a taxonomy template at "Template:Taxonomy/Xidae" with familia. It gets reduced to the subfamily Xinae. So you first create a NEW taxonomy template at "Template:Taxonomy/Xinae" with subfamilia. Then you find all the taxonomy templates that have Xidae and change them to have Xinae. NO taxonomy templates are moved. When there are no uses of "Template:Taxonomy/Xidae" and if you are sure it won't ever be used again, then you blank it, replacing all the content by "Category:Unnecessary taxonomy templates". (An admin occasionally deletes the contents of this category.) same_as is meant for very special cases where the same taxon is used in different ways in different hierarchies. The taxonomy template with same_as will have the same link as the one pointed to, but some other difference, and a qualified name. Peter coxhead (talk) 17:07, 16 November 2022 (UTC)


 * @Peter coxhead Okay, I understand now. Thanks for your patience. I'll check if there are any moves left, and I'll revert them (and blank them if they're defunct). ☽ Snoteleks  ☾ 17:11, 16 November 2022 (UTC)


 * No problem; the automated taxonomy system and taxonomy templates are complex. A key point is that a taxonomy template called "Template:Taxonomy/X" (or "Template:Taxonomy/X/qualifier") should display the name "X" in the taxobox and link to the article at "X".
 * There should really be an explanation somewhere of how to make these changes in taxonomy. Peter coxhead (talk) 17:20, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Update Neither Template:Taxonomy/Ochrophyta nor Template:Taxonomy/Ochrophyta/Phylum are used any more, so I've tagged them with Category:Unnecessary taxonomy templates for deletion. —  Jts1882 &#124; talk 09:05, 5 September 2023 (UTC)

Categories
Hello, Snoteleks,

Please do not remove all of the contents of a category so it is tagged for speedy deletion, CSD C1, as an empty category. This is called "emptying categories out of process" and can be seen as disruptive editing and your edits reverted.

If you believe a category should be deleted, merged or renamed, please nominate it at Categories for Discussion. These deletion discussions are even more important with categories than articles because categories are interconnected and exist in a categorical hierarchy. Changes or deletion of a category could affect similar categories that might also warrant deletion or renaming. The editors who are regulars at CFD have an almost encyclopedic memory of how different groups of categories are structured so they are an invaluable resource if you are interested in recategorization a field. Please take the time to make use of CFD in the future. Thank you. Liz <sup style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: #006400;">Read! Talk! 03:44, 31 January 2023 (UTC)


 * I guess I should specify that I'm talking about long-existing categories that were created by other editors.

Um, sorry to have to mention this but I've come across a couple of articles lately where you've left cladograms totally unformatted, i.e. the cladotext is just one indigestible lump.

Edit request at Template talk:Taxonomy/Amorphea
Did you intend to an outcome where domain Eukaryota is displayed for all animal and fungus taxa when you made that edit request to the taxonomy template? If that was not your intention, I guess that at least Breviatea and Apusomonadida should be linked into the taxonomy template Template:Taxonomy/Amorphea/showdomain (and any other opisthokonts that aren't strictly fungi/animals), and the main Amorphea taxonomy template shouldn't have been edited in the first place. If you did intend to show the domain for animals and fungi, that should be discussed more broadly (Template:Taxonomy/Eukaryota/displayed is pointless if there is a consensus to always display a domain for plants, animals and fungi). Plantdrew (talk) 03:24, 30 July 2023 (UTC)

EDIT TO ADD: I had forgotten that Template:Taxonomy/Amorphea/showdomain was something I created. I have no objections to renaming that template in some way or deprecating it in favor of another solution, but displaying Eukaryota in taxoboxes for animals and fungi hasn't been standard practice on Wikipedia and should be discussed at WP:TOL if it is intended to be standard practice going forward. Plantdrew (talk) 03:36, 30 July 2023 (UTC)


 * @Plantdrew This actually started because of a GA review for Syssomonas where the reviewer asked me to show the domain in the taxobox. I didn't know that Template:Taxonomy/Amorphea/showdomain existed, so I checked the TSAR template and saw that the way the domain is shown is through a /display addition. So yes, my intention was to display the domain Eukaryota. However, now that you mention it, I didn't realize that obviously this outcome would display the domain in all animal and fungal taxoboxes. I just wanted it to be displayed in protist taxoboxes. I wouldn't oppose its display on animal and fungi taxoboxes. I will consult WP:TOL to see if they agree. If not, I would like to find a way to only display it in all protist pages, like the TSAR pages. —Snoteleks 🦠  08:27, 30 July 2023 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Holozoa
The article Holozoa you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Holozoa for comments about the article, and Talk:Holozoa/GA1 for the nomination. Well done! If the article has never appeared on the Main Page as a "Did you know" item, and has not appeared within the last year either as "Today's featured article", or as a bold link under "In the news" or in the "On this day" prose section, you can nominate it within the next seven days to appear at DYK.

Autoconfirmed rights
Hi,. I was wondering if you have considered applying for WP:AUTOPATROLLED rights. Generally speaking you need at least 25 articles created in order to gain this privilege, and you seem to be quite a prolific editor with plenty of experience and quite a few articles created. It would not help you much per se except to save you the notification that your article has been reviewed and to automatically release your new articles for search engine indexing, but it would also help the new page review backlog. I'm almost certain you would be granted it given your editing history, and to my understanding the privilege stays with you indefinitely. It's of course up to you; it's still always good to have another pair of eyes on a new article. All the best,  TheTechnician27  (Talk page)  23:01, 12 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Hey @TheTechnician27, thank you for reaching out to me about this! I have not considered it until now, since I was never bothered by the notifications. However, knowing now that it would save a lot of time at the backlog, I definitely will apply. Thanks so much, —Snoteleks (Talk) 07:05, 13 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Thanks so much! It usually takes a couple days, but I'm confident you'll get accepted for it. The main benefit both for you and the project at large is that your new articles will immediately get released for indexing by search engines. That is, once you publish an article with autopatrolled rights, you'll immediately be able to see it show up on search engines like DuckDuckGo, Google, Bing, etc.  TheTechnician27  (Talk page)  17:12, 13 September 2023 (UTC)
 * @TheTechnician27 Woah, that would be excellent actually. I didn't know that was the way it works. —Snoteleks (Talk) 18:26, 13 September 2023 (UTC)

Page mover granted
Hello, Snoteleks. Your account has been granted the "extendedmover" user right, either following a request for it or demonstrating familiarity with working with article names and moving pages. You are now able to rename pages without leaving behind a redirect, move subpages when moving the parent page(s), and move category pages.

Please take a moment to review Page mover for more information on this user right, especially the criteria for moving pages without leaving a redirect. Please remember to follow post-move cleanup procedures and make link corrections where necessary, including broken double-redirects when  is used. This can be done using Special:WhatLinksHere. It is also very important that no one else be allowed to access your account, so you should consider taking a few moments to secure your password. As with all user rights, be aware that if abused, or used in controversial ways without consensus, your page mover status can be revoked.

Useful links:
 * Requested moves
 * Category:Requested moves, for article renaming requests awaiting action.

If you do not want the page mover right anymore, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Thank you, and happy editing! Anarchyte ( talk ) 12:07, 18 September 2023 (UTC)


 * @Anarchyte Thank you, much appreciated. —Snoteleks (Talk) 12:18, 18 September 2023 (UTC)

Autopatrolled granted
Hi Snoteleks, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the autopatrolled user right to your account. This means that pages you create will automatically be marked as 'reviewed', and no longer appear in the new pages feed. Autopatrolled is assigned to prolific creators of articles, where those articles do not require further review, and may have been requested on your behalf by someone else. It doesn't affect how you edit; it is used only to manage the workload of new page patrollers.

Since the articles you create will no longer be systematically reviewed by other editors, it is important that you maintain the high standard you have achieved so far in all your future creations. Please also try to remember to add relevant WikiProject templates, stub tags, categories, and incoming links to them, if you aren't already in the habit; user scripts such as Rater and StubSorter can help with this. As you have already shown that you have a strong grasp of Wikipedia's core content policies, you might also consider volunteering to become a new page patroller yourself, helping to uphold the project's standards and encourage other good faith article writers.

Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! Anarchyte ( talk ) 12:08, 18 September 2023 (UTC)


 * @Anarchyte Excellent, thank you. —Snoteleks (Talk) 12:19, 18 September 2023 (UTC)

Twinkle
I noticed you tried to take Kingdom of misfits to Redirects for Discussion. Initiating some of the formal discussion processes on Wikipedia (such as RfD) often entails making edits to multiple pages and substituting different templates. There's a tool called Twinkle that makes it much easier to initiate formal discussions with a single edit (Twinkle makes the other necessary edits for you). It can be enabled in Preferences->Gadgets->Browsing. Plantdrew (talk) 22:52, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

Hi from Australia
Hi Snoteleks, just touching base from Australia. I noticed your extensive re-working of Taxonomy of Protista per the Adl et al., 2019 treatment for which you deserve appreciation for the effort involved (which is largely thankless as I know...). I have made a comment or 2 on the "talk" page for that article regarding possibly including more on the alternative kingdom level treatment of protists as implemented at CoL, GBIF, etc. which you may to comment on further; I can always add something to the article to cover this aspect if you wish, or of course feel free to do so as well. Best regards - Tony Rees, IRMNG (my production for the past 18 years, hopefully to give away at some point!!) Tony 1212 (talk) 00:32, 16 February 2024 (UTC)


 * @Tony 1212 Hey Tony, thanks for reaching out. Appreciate the effort being seen! I will get right into the talk page. —Snoteleks (Talk) 06:49, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

Taxonomy of Protista - some feedback/corrections
Hi Snoteleks (real name if you wish??), I did a very brief pass through your impressive "Adl et al. plus later work" section, at this stage just looking for things that I did not have in my own holdings (currently doing a bit of an update for the period 2015-2022 in the main, making updates, additions as needed; I have many of the required new names from ION and AlgaeBase, but not all are yet added in). During this process I notices a few issues where I have 1 thing that I believe is correct, you have another, which I set down below for your perusal and possible incorporation if you agree! Probably not a complete list since I only looked at portions of your work that pertain to 2013 and later, but some things of interest here, hopefully! Best - Tony -- "Hemimastigophora Foissner et al. 1988 Spironemidae Doflein 1916. Hemimastix, Spironema, Stereonema. Spironematellidae Shshkin 2022. Spironematella.[90]"

However note: - Spironematellidae is a replacement name for Spironemidae (and probably should have authorship Silva, 1970, who created it under the botanical Code ("Spironematellceae"); I believe the authorship still stands if the name is used as a zoological taxon); Spironemidae is invalid (based on a preoccupied genus name) - Spironema in Hemimastigophora (author is Klebs, 1892) is a preoccupied name in botany (Spironema Rafinesque, 1838 in Lauraceae and Spironema Lindley, 1840 in Commelinaceae) and in zoology (Spironema Meek, 1864, a fossil mollusc); replacement name is Spironematella

Thus both Hemimastix and Stereonema should be placed in Spironematellidae, also (if you do this) Spironema included as a syn. of Spironematella, and Spironemidae as a syn. of Spironematellidae.

Agogonidae Galindo, Prokina, Torruella, López-García & Moreira 2022. Agogonia.[95] - year is 2023 according to published work at https://academic.oup.com/gbe/article/15/4/evad058/7111303 (authors erroneously use 2022 in text, for new taxa)

?Triassothamnus† in Thalassothamnidae: this genus now in own family Triassothamnidae in Entactinaria, refer Takahashi et al., 2022 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.revmic.2022.100610

Colpodellida Cavalier-Smith 1993, emend. Adl et al. 2005, 2019 - maybe add note that in AlgaeBase (botanical treatment) this order is currently treated as the botanical order Colpodellales within its own phylum Chromeridophyta, class Colpodellophyceae and subclass Colpodellophycidae. Includes Chromerida (for the photosynthetic species only), the latter used as order sin Ruggiero et al., 2015 and some more recent works.

Colpodellaceae Adl et al., 2019 - authority should possibly be Simpson & Patterson, 1996 (original publication in zoology, as Colpodellidae; authorship transfers unchanged when botanical names are used in zoology)

"Aquavolonida Bass & Berney 2018. Aquavolon, Lapot gusevi.[67]" - Lapot is a genus, does not need specific name attached.

"Pluriformea[d] Hehenberger et al. 2017 Corallochytrium limacisporium Raghu-Kumar 1987 Syssomonas multiformis[d] Tikhonenkov, Hehenberger, Mylnikov & Keeling 2017" - similarly, don't need species epithts, just genera

"Stramenopiles incertae sedis: Environmental clades MAST-21, MAST-25 Massana et al. 2014 Platysulcus tardus Shiratori, Nakayama & Ishida 2015 Kaonashia insperata Weston, Eglit & Simpson 2023[35]" - don't need to cite species; Platysulcus is in Platysulcidae; Kaonashia is in Kaonashiidae

Oblongichytrida Bennett et al. 2017. Oblongichytrium. - suggest putting Oblongichytrida in quotes, as per original work, since there it is a provisional grouping, not formally defined

Flamellidae Cavalier-Smith 2016 - according to my records, Cavalier-Smith was incorrect in listing this as fam. nov.; it was already named, by Lahr & Katz in Lahr et al., 2011 (Lahr, D. J. G.; Grant, J.; Nguyen, T.; Lin, J. H.; Katz, L. A. (2011). Comprehensive phylogenetic reconstruction of Amoebozoa based on concatenated analyses of SSU-rDNA and actin genes. PLoS ONE. 6(7): e22780., available online at https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0022780)

Gymnodiniales F. Stein 1878 - lacking families Torodiniales Boutrup, Moestrup & Daugbjerg 2016 - same Gonyaulacales Taylor 1980 - same Peridiniales Haeckel 1894 - same Dinophysales Kofoid 1926 - same Prorocentrales Lemmermann 1910 - same -you can maybe get these from IRMNG, e.g. for Gonyaulacales see https://www.irmng.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=10358 (includes some genera not allocated to family), plus https://www.irmng.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=115060 - however maybe print (non database) sources might be better - but I can see it would be a big effort!!

Gilchristidae Ito, Ishihara & Imai 2014. Gilchristia. - Gilchristidae Ito, Ishihara & Imai 2014 should read Gilchristinidae Ito, Ishihara & Imai 2014 (previously Gilchristidae). Gilchristia should read Gilchristina (=nom. nov. for Gilchristia, preoccupied) - Digilchristia is a second genus in Gilchristinidae, per original description, also http://oakorn.ru/articles/Rhinozeta.pdf Tony 1212 (talk) 19:24, 23 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Hi Tony! Thanks for noticing me of all of these. Snoteleks is fine, no worries; you can also call me William, the english version of my real name. I appreciate your efforts on that page so much. I will do what I can to include them.
 * About Hemimastigophora, I had no idea it was supposed to be a replacement name for the first family. I must have completely skimmed through the paper and not actually read it. Thanks for pointing this out. I also partly fixed the pertaining hemimastigote articles.
 * Fixed Agogonidae date.
 * Added Triassothamnidae and some of Entactinaria with it, but there are still a lot more fossil families (and other orders) to add.
 * That is so strange, this is the first time I hear of Chromeridophyta and such names. Thanks for the notice.
 * Agreed that the authority should remain as Simpson & Patterson 1996, but I am too weary so I will just put it as a synonym.
 * Fixed Lapot.
 * Fixed pluriformean genera, as well as Bicellum, which was also written as species and not genus.
 * Again I did not notice that Kaonashia had its own family. Fixed both.
 * Placed Oblongichytrida in quotes.
 * Good eye. Fixed authority of Flamellidae. Weirdly enough, this is not the time Cavalier-Smith assigned himself as the author of something he did not describe in the first place.
 * Yeah, the dinoflagellates need a lot of work. I hope I can get around adding all the families soon.
 * Updated Gilchristinidae.
 * I do not think I would've eventually stumbled upon any of these findings without your help, so it is highly appreciated. —Snoteleks (Talk) 00:17, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi Snoteleks, no worries, multiple eyes can spot things one pair can miss... also as you will appreciate, I only looked at a subset of your entries. It is a big and brave task to maintain this page, you have my compliments! I try to maintain my own database of 500k+ genus names (maybe 300k valid taxa), for "all life", however in parts it is still waiting for attention for the most recent changes/new names to be added (currently around 70% through a "catch up" task for recently published zoological genus + subgenus names as recorded in ION, for the period 2015-2022 approx).
 * As an aside, I was pleased to note that one of your cited recent references, for Raphidocystidae Zlatogursky 2018 (DOI: 10.1016/j.ejop.2018.03.006) cites my own work from 1980 - just 44 years ago now! (my paper was Rees, A.J.J., Donaldson, D.A., Leedale, G.F., 1980. Morphology of the scales of the freshwater heliozoan Raphidocystis tubifera (Heliozoa, Centrohelidia) and organization of the intact scale layer. Protistologica 26, 565—570). Funny how things come around!! I was 27 at the time, the work came from my Ph.D thesis, which was mostly on freshwater microalgae, but a few non-algal protists crept in as well... Gordon Leedale (Euglenoid expert) was my supervisor back in the day.
 * I am happy to receive notice of any changes/additions needed to my own holdings as well, not that you will probably have the time to look there (www.irmng.org) - you can leave notes for me at https://species.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Tony_1212 if you ever need to. I am sure to have the odd error or things that have changed since making/importing relevant records from elsewhere.
 * All the best - Tony Tony 1212 (talk) 04:49, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
 * What an honor to be working with an actual protistologist! And your IRMNG maintenance must be a lot of hard work, it is admirable. I don't normally visit databases but perhaps for diatoms and dinoflagellates it will come in handy, so I will make sure to leave notes for you if I have any questions. Thanks a lot. —Snoteleks (Talk) 13:02, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

GAN Reviews
Hi Snoteleks! I noticed you have some more articles at GAN, which is great. It would also be great if you are able to do some reviews as well, since you have a lot of experience with taxa articles now. I'd be happy to review Chrompodellid or Parvilucifera if you are able to review another Biology/Medicine GAN as well. I can also help you through the review or provide a second set of eyes if you'd like, the first review is definitely the hardest. Just let me know! Fritzmann (message me) 15:04, 28 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Hello there! I would like to start reviewing other GANs, it would be helpful for everyone. I haven't had much time lately but I will check the Biology/Medicine GANs for ones that could interest me. Thanks for suggesting this to me. —Snoteleks (Talk) 15:57, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

 * @Liz, I apologize for so many speedy deletions suddenly. Yesterday I tried to do a Category redirect for all those pages, several times, but Wikipedia has seen me do it too many times and it started mistaking me for a bot. A red text message popped up in the edit page, telling me that I had to wait some time before trying to redirect another category. Any ideas how I could fix this? —  Snoteleks  ( talk ) 21:07, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
 * That's a new one for me. I've never heard of that. Do you know how to create a category redirect as opposed to an article redirect? It's.
 * I actually came to your talk page to warn you about emptying categories "out of process" rather than taking them to WP:CFD to be considered for deletion, renaming or merging. Is this an issue? Liz <sup style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: #006400;">Read! Talk! 02:31, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
 * @Liz Yes, that's the template I have been using. I tried to redirect again and it looks like the cooldown period ended, because it finally lets me save the page. It's definitely a new one for me too. To be fair, I have been mass-redirecting categories for the past few days, perhaps Wikipedia has an automatic detection mechanism for such occurrences incase they are bots. —  Snoteleks  ( talk ) 11:26, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

Categorization
I think the edits you made like this one are wrong. Category:Trebouxiophyceae genera is a subcategory of Category:Chlorophyta genera, so you have put the article into both a caegory and its parent category. See WP:CATSPECIFIC; the exceptions to the rule that both a parent and child category are not used don't apply here. Peter coxhead (talk) 10:47, 23 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Yes, I noticed this yesterday, but thank you for pointing it out. I initially was not aware of the Category:Trebouxiophyceae genera or other class-level categories.

Template:Taxonomy/Spirocuta
Hi. This edit has broken the taxobox system. It is the both the child and parent of different Classes, which logically cannot be. Have reverted for now. YorkshireExpat (talk) 19:41, 28 April 2024 (UTC)


 * @YorkshireExpat Could I see which children are in a class rank? —  Snoteleks  ( talk ) 20:57, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

 * @Plantdrew Thanks, that's really useful! It seems that one of the children no longer are recognized as a taxon, though... could I just delete it? —  Snoteleks  ( talk ) 21:36, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Actually none of the children are recognized now, what should I do? —  Snoteleks  ( talk ) 21:37, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
 * You can get taxonomy templates deleted if they aren't used by any articles and never will be (because the correspond to taxa that Wikpedia isn't going to recognize). Did you see Template:Taxonomy/Spirocuta/clade (and check its child templates)? Plantdrew (talk) 22:16, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
 * As far as I can tell, all articles of Spirocuta and its children taxa only refer to the Spirocuta/clade template. No articles exist for the obsolete taxa Heteronematina and Peranemea. —  Snoteleks  ( talk ) 22:37, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
