Welcome to Wikispecies! edit

Hello, and welcome to Wikispecies! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages you might like to see:

If you have named a taxon, then it is likely that there is (or will be) a Wikispecies page about you, and other pages about your published papers. Please see our advice and guidance for taxon authors.

If you have useful images to contribute to Wikispecies, please upload them at Wikimedia Commons. This is also true for video or audio files containing bird songs, whale vocalization, etc.

Please sign your comments on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your username (if you're logged in) and the date. Please also read the Wikispecies policy What Wikispecies is not. If you need help, ask me on my talk page, or in the Village Pump.

Minor correction on your edits edit

So when adding species or genera etc, for the last one you need to add splast instead of sp, for example the page you edited:
{{sp|T|epilia|biluna}} {{sp|T|epilia|dodala}} {{sp|T|epilia|fastidiosa}} {{splast|T|epilia|joanna}}

Hi Scott,
Thanks I previously noticed and understood that, except that I forgot to reintroduce the last after my modifications. It is clear.
Good that you communicate with me so that I can understand and correct my errors. Dherbin (talk) 18:48, 10 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
Scott,
A question: A good number of Mimallonidae have been entered under Cicinnus genus. Now transferred to Gonogramma. I tried to proceed with one species: Cicinnus bahamensis => Gonogramma bahamensis. I edited Cicinnus genus and removed bahamensis. I edited Gonogramma genus and added bahamensis. I did not find a proper way to easily change the page cicinnus bahamensis in Gonogramma bahamensis. I had to create a new page Gonogramma bahamensis, did a copy of what was in Cicinnus bahamensis. But I do not find this elegant! and there is a Cicinnus bahamensis still existing in the background. Can you help and tell how I could do thsi properly?

Yeah to do that you need to move the page, before you edit it. Your changing the mainspace name the name at the top of the page and in its url.
At the top of the screen is the search box to its left you will have either a Move option or a dropdown saying more, under which you will find move. While on the page you want to move select move in the popup give the new mainspace name, you will also have to give a reason, say yes to leaving a redirect then move the page. After that you can edit the page to fix names etc.
You wont be able to move the one you just mentioned now as you created a new page and regular users cannot overwrite a page that has content nor delete pages so I will have to fix this one. Cheers Scott Thomson (Faendalimas) talk 16:09, 14 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
Ok fixed these two and a couple of your templates for the tribe. Cheers Scott Thomson (Faendalimas) talk 16:20, 14 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for fixing. I will look in details in your response and see if I understand correctly and try with a new transfer from Cicinnus to Gonogramma.
