Template talk:R to scientific name

message: I have changed this template so that it does not automatically tag articles into :Category:Printworthy redirects. I have found that many redirects to a scientific name are not printworthy. One can have directs to a scientific name
* from a misspelled scientific or common name e.g Banskia -> Banksia
* from a mispunctuated scientific name e.g. Banksia integrifolia subsp integrifolia -> Banksia integrifolia subsp. integrifolia
* from a scientific name that misuses nomenclatural convention, such as the use of zoological trinomial convention for a plant name e.g. Banksia integrifolia integrifolia -> Banksia integrifolia subsp. integrifolia

replies: text: (I can't find that discussion from 5 years ago, so I continue here.) Why does the  redirect here? See e.g.  which redircts to Tapuaetai. I know that  exists, but  seems more precise. And, as I understand it,  is for "redirects from foreign-language terms." -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 10:02, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

message: I've mocked up adding insects as a group in the sandbox, and checked testcases. There are a ton of insects in the main category, and a lot more that have likely never been tagged. I've created the category for the pages to be sorted in to already. M. A. Broussard (talk) 02:54, 30 May 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I can switch this template over to use Module:Science redirect, which supports plant, fish, fungus, spider, crustacean, reptile, and insect redirects. I have already switched  over, but I wanted to wait a week or so to see if any problems arise with that template before switching any others over to the module. --Ahecht (TALKPAGE) 17:45, 2 June 2017 (UTC)

That second link, scientific name, redirects to Nomenclature codes. Shouldn't it go to Binomial nomenclature? Thanks,  SchreiberBike | ⌨  02:32, 7 July 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Biological nomenclature has previously targeted binomial nomenclature and biological classification (now merged with taxonomy (biology) before being targeted to nomenclature codes. I see absolutely no reason to pipe the displayed text "scientific name" (which redirects to binomial nomenclature) to biological nomenclature. Whether the targets of the redirects scientific name/biological nomenclature are appropriate is another question (scientific names for ranks above/below species aren't binomial).
