Template:Binomial redirect review
Appearance
Purpose
This template flags a species page with a binomial-only title that may need to be redirected to the corresponding compound-name species page.
It is intended for cases where a binomial-only page exists separately from the main forward-facing species page and should be reviewed manually before being converted into a redirect.
This template may be added automatically by the data pipeline or manually when needed.
Usage
{{Binomial redirect review
| target = Desert locust (Schistocerca gregaria)
| reason = Optional explanation
| note = Optional editor note
}}
Parameters
- target
- Optional. The likely compound-name page that this page should redirect to.
- reason
- Optional. A short explanation of why the page was flagged.
- note
- Optional. Additional editor-facing instructions.
Behavior
When transcluded on a page, this template:
- Displays a maintenance message at the top of the page
- Optionally links to the likely redirect target
- Adds the page to Category:Species pages needing maintenance
- Adds the page to Category:Species pages needing binomial redirect
Notes
- This template is for forward-facing species pages, not for template pages.
- Pages in this category should be reviewed manually before redirect conversion.
- Content, images, categories, and links should be checked before removing page content.
Example
