Need a bit of help please edit
I tried to fix a lapsus in the name of Apis mellifera adansonii (it was listed as adaMsonii). Only when it was already too late I saw the 'Move' button which is what I should have used. Instead I edited the names on both the Apis mellifera and the subspecies pages instead, and when this did not have the desired effect I created a new page for A.m. adansonii. Now there is an invalid page for A.m. adamsonii dangling unconnected, plus I can not move the image from that page to the new one.
I now know how to do it correctly next time, but I will need some help cleaning up the mess I made this time, please. Sorry and thank you. Ongava (talk) 07:11, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
- @Ongava: I've sorted it all out: see Apis mellifera adansonii (and I've deleted the "Apis mellifera adamsonii" page). Thanks for noticing the incorrect spelling of the taxon name. –Tommy Kronkvist (talk), 07:41, 18 December 2022 (UTC).
- Hi Tommy, thanks indeed, much appreciated. I'm still learning :-) Ongava (talk) 07:53, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
Ask for Pigs on the wing edit
Pigs on the wing, why did you delete my page and my user subpages? Why are they outside the scope of the project? On Wiktionary, Wikibooks, Wikidata, Meta-Wiki, Wikiversity, Wikispore and Wikiquote all my subpages have been accepted. Why on Wikispecies are you not accepting my page and my user subpages? Leonardo José Raimundo (talk) 16:02, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
- For the reasons I gave on your talk page. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 16:17, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
- In regards to the user's statement above, please note that they are indefinitely blocked on Wikidata, Portuguese Wikipedia + Wikinews, and Spanish Wiktionary. They were blocked for the first time already in 2015, but the indef blocks all stems from 2020–2023. They've made a handful of new out of ambit edits since you deleted their 8 Wikispecies user page subpages in late January this year, however all of those edits were promptly deleted by Burmeister and myself. I've notified the user asking them not to post any more out of scope material.

Citation template changes edit
Hi Andy, in the Wikispecies roundtable at Wikimania you mentioned some changes that the citation template should get. Have these ever been publicly defined or discussed? I'm interested in taking a look... Azertus (talk) 14:47, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
@Azertus: Yes; see Wikispecies:Requests for Comment/Archive 3#Citation templates. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 13:23, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
A question edit
Hi Pigsonthewing, Special:Diff/9601478 Are there any benefits to this change? I deleted it because it seemed like it was randomly placed in articles. Wooze (talk) 16:11, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Wooze: Your edit was correct. There is discussion of the underlying issue at Wikispecies:Administrators' Noticeboard#Recent barrage of IP edits. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 19:35, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
