Discussions pending:
POV:
It has been suggested that the Name section should be the first section on a page. It would make some sense, IMHO.
Kempm:
For most organisms the term type-locality can be used. For Bacteria and Archaea, I'd like to use type-strain. A chemical formulae that is widely used and that can be found in publications. For lichenous organisms, I'd like to use the term Host-substratum/Locality, as I'm using on many Fungi pages. Some Fungi can be determined on the host they are feeding on. And Ascomycetes taxonomy relies heavily on this. Will there be more exceptions?
Kempm:
If the name section describes a taxon above species level for example Genus-level, add the term type species. This is the specimen on which the genus is based on. For Familia, use type genus etc.
Kempm:
I have been contributing a bit different, and added the synonyms section as a lvl 2 (main) section. Also I added information like homotypic synonyms, basionym, competing synonym, and non-competing synonym.
POV:
It has been suggested to rename this section to Interwiki.
KempmPOV:
The name Interwiki makes more sense to me, since it describes better what it is. Vernacular names is not just a list of names, but a list of links to the right (existant) pages?
