message: Dear administrators, as it was agreed at Wikipedia talk:Template messages/Redirect pages#links to zero namespace, links from redirect templates to zero namespace are to be removed as creating ambiguity for toolserver scripts on where the redirect points to. I've moved the text from template to /doc subpage, so could someone please remove all visible content from template page and add  instead? Mashiah (talk) 20:50, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: but please note that :Category:Redirects from scientific names and :Category:Printworthy redirects cannot be moved to the /doc page because these categorise transclusions of this template not the template itself. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 12:48, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

message: I believe that the text "This is a redirect from the scientific name to the common name." should be transcluded when this template is used. If there are no objections in approximately 7 days I will use  to request that the change be made. – Allen4names 03:11, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

* from this...
This is a redirect from the scientific name to the common name.Category:Redirects from scientific names
Category:Printworthy redirects



* to this...

This is a redirect from the scientific name to the common name.

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) 03:19, 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)

message: "This is a redirect from a scientific name of an organism (or group of organisms) to a vernacular ("common") name"
Wouldn't it always be to a group of organisms? cygnis insignis 17:13, 5 May 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: This, and similar templates like , used the singular only, until I added the bit in parentheses in 2016. I would prefer "a taxon" rather than "an organism (or group of organisms)". However, it is the case that a species can be thought of in the singular ("this is a Quercus robur"), so maybe this is what was meant originally. Peter coxhead (talk) 07:20, 6 May 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I appreciate how you were trying to patch that up. Why not implement that preference, 'a taxon'. it resolves the concern I raised. And the links are unneccessary, the purpose is a redirect; the template exists to 'identify printworthy redirects' (and stop users moving the target over it). cygnis insignis 15:49, 6 May 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, I would prefer some more editors to agree to this change. Peter coxhead (talk) 19:45, 6 May 2018 (UTC)
