Taxonbar no longer linking to World spider catalogue

The taxonbar seems to be no longer working correctly for WSC entries. See for example Arctosa_chungjooensis and Arctosa. Hoping some clever person can fix this. MargaretRDonald (talk) 00:58, 8 June 2026 (UTC)

I see the WSC link in the taxonbar, though I've been unable to connect to the WSC links for several months. This doesn't appear to be a taxonbar issue. - UtherSRG (talk) 01:03, 8 June 2026 (UTC)

The A. chungjooensis WSC record exists here. The LSID shown on that page appears identical to the WSC ID on Wikidata. The whole point of LSIDs is that they should be stable links. I'm not sure what the exact problem is. Plantdrew (talk) 03:26, 8 June 2026 (UTC)

I don't know what happened. A get a security warning about the security certificate not matching. The certificate is for wsc.psbrands-services.de which seems to host a mirror of WSC. Suspicious?

The WSC link Plantdrew gives uses wsc.nmbe.ch while the taxonbar link used www.wsc.nmbe.ch. I've changed the URL formatter on Wikidata and it appears to work now.  —  Jts1882 | talk  06:58, 8 June 2026 (UTC)

GBIF

Ok, GBIF has totally revamped and is now in alignment with Catalogue of Life. Wikidata has updated and renamed the old GBIF entries, and added new GBIF entry. Can we get the taxonbar updated as well? The existing GBIF should be retitled as "GBIF (old)", and the new one added as "GBIF". See Wikidata items Polygala bonariensis (Q15578908) and Senega bonariensis (Q140273611) for examples of items with the old (former) and new (latter). - In solidarity, UtherSRG (talk) 22:20, 8 July 2026 (UTC)

 Done as GBIF (old) and GBIF (new). However, the old one redirects to the new one. If Wikidata have added the new ones, is the old one still needed?  —  Jts1882 | talk  08:28, 9 July 2026 (UTC)

I think they are working on a bot to replace the old with the new, but it hasn't been done yet. Who knows when that will happen... - In solidarity, UtherSRG (talk) 13:39, 9 July 2026 (UTC)

I misread your original comment to say Wikidata had updated the GBIF statements, which is why I queried the need for the old GBIF ID. I don't know how many wikidata items include GBID ID statements (definitely >10000, probably >100000), but only 280 use the new one.  —  Jts1882 | talk  09:09, 10 July 2026 (UTC)

SEASLUG.WORLD species ID

Would folk like to add SEASLUG.WORLD species ID (P14817), "identifier for a sea slug taxon on SEASLUG.WORLD"? The property was created on 23 August 2026 and is now populated on 1,100 taxon items (Heterobranchia). Each target page carries photographs, occurrence records and synonymy for the taxon.

Disclosure: I operate the database, as I noted when proposing the property. Its occurrence records are published under doi:10.48518/00032 and are aggregated by GBIF, OBIS and BISMaL (JAMSTEC).

@Nobuhiko Kimoto: added, e.g. Hypselodoris festiva. Is there a Wikipedia page with some information on your site that could be linked?  —  Jts1882 | talk  14:30, 3 September 2026 (UTC)

Edit request 3 September 2026

Description of suggested change:

Can you please change the formatting to wrap long binomial species names.

The layout uses space very inefficiency for long names with a large number of links.

Sorry I can't work out how to edit the code to achieve this. Vostok (talk) 08:09, 3 September 2026 (UTC)

I deleted the {{Text diff}} because leaving it blank or unmodified showed as an error message. Vostok (talk) 08:14, 3 September 2026 (UTC)

Is there a discussion that led to this request? The nowrap style for links is clearly deliberate and appears to have been in place since the module was imported here nine years ago. Please link to a couple of example pages where there is a problem to be fixed. – Jonesey95 (talk) 12:42, 3 September 2026 (UTC)
