SEASLUG.WORLD species ID
[edit]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)
Docs amendment suggestion: be explicit about empty exlink section
[edit]The wording of the current documentation (placing this template after other end-matter templates) strongly implies this template isn't itself an "external link". Nevertheless, there are many articles which have an empty exlink section, with only a taxonbar "in" it.
The docs for the analagous template {{Medical resources}} is explicit, saying:
In line with the Manual of Style, an ==External links== section should not be created if the sole content will just be this template
I propose that the docs for this template (again in the "usage" section) explicitly say the same, with the same wording.
I don't think this is a change, merely clarifying the existing understanding. -- Finlay McWalter··–·Talk 10:02, 25 October 2026 (UTC)
