Motivation

This new Wikidata property to identify taxa (Q42396390) would improve our coverage of entomology (Q39286). Thierry Caro (talk) 18:49, 31 October 2018 (UTC)

•  Comment I wonder if specializing this property to species - and discard higher taxa - is the best way to link to this database. How about Kelisia (Q10544676) → rank=genus&id=1292?  – The preceding unsigned comment was added by Lymantria (talk • contribs) at 06:23, 1 November 2018‎ (UTC).

•  Not done: @Thierry Caro, could you address Lymantria's comment before we proceed with property creation? Feel free to re-mark this proposal as ready once you have done so and given Lymantria appropriate time to respond. —Tomodachi94 (talk) 00:17, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
• I agree with @Lymantria that a more general form would be useful to cover higher taxa, e.g.

Family Fulgoridae : https://flow.hemiptera-databases.org/flow/?page=explorer&db=flow&lang=en&card=taxon&rank=family&id=5087

Genus Dichoptera : https://flow.hemiptera-databases.org/flow/?page=explorer&db=flow&lang=en&card=taxon&rank=genus&id=20281

A general identifier could take the form rank=family&id=5087, rank=genus&id=20281, and rank=genus&id=1292. It would also handle other ranks (e.g. subfamily, tribe). As there over 12,000 species entries, it might be easier to create a new FLOW taxon ID identifier and rename the current one FLOW species ID. Jts1882 (talk) 17:37, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
