Request for vote reg use of BASEPAGENAME

The previous discussions regarding if we should subst:ing BASEPAGENAME and change all [[BASEPAGENAME]] into [[susbt:BASEPAGENAME]] did not really reach a consensus.

Please vote here on the Village pump!

If you are not sure on your opinion, you can read and join the discussion about the claimed advantages and disadvantages of using BASEPAGENAME

Wikispecies Oversighter

Wikispecies has no local Oversighter. Since I had the communitys confidence regarding the previous application for Checkusers rights, as per local Oversight policy on META, I hereby apply to get Oversighters user rights, as a request to the Wikispecies community.

Application is located at Requests for Comment.

Please also note that Oversighter actions are logged, but for privacy reasons the logs are only visible to other Oversighters. Because of this, Wikispecies must always have no fewer than two oversighters, for mutual accountability. I don't want to suggest anyone, but hope that someone feel inspired and will step forward and also apply for oversighters rights.

Oversight nomination

Please refer to Wikispecies:Oversighters/Requests/Koavf for a second Oversight nomination. Note that we must have at least two Oversigthers in order for anyone to have these user rights. All feedback is welcome. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 19:50, 3 March 2017 (UTC)

Author names for Automeris species

Hello Lepidoptera~plwiki. On the Automeris llaneros and Automeris mineros pages you have added a reference with the author names "Decaëns, Rougerie & Bonilla, 2021". However, on the Automeris belemensis page you've added the same reference but with the authors "Decaëns, Rougerie & Bénéluz, 2021" instead. Is this Bonilla/Bénéluz discrepancy really correct, or is it a mistake? Best regards, Tommy Kronkvist (talk), 13:43, 6 January 2023 (UTC).

Not sure if I did everything right - this was my first attempt at adding new non-existent species instead of the minor tweaks I usually do. All three species are described here: https://zookeys.pensoft.net/article/56035/

The authors of this publication are: Thibaud Decaëns, Frédéric Bénéluz, Liliana Ballesteros-Mejia, Diego Bonilla, Rodolphe Rougerie

In the reference I've put species author names - but the authors were not the same for each species. So the species authors/descriptors are OK for all three species, but the reference to indicate publication should probably include a full list of publication authors.

I think you're more familiar with wikispecies, so you might try to fix/update one of the species the right way, then I can do the same for the two other species based on your pattern. In this case I'll learn more how to work properly with wikispecies. Any hints/comments how can I help are welcome. Lepidoptera~plwiki (talk) 17:35, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
