atj and mic
[edit]Can you add atj and mic languages please. I already added a translation in those languages. Thanks, Amqui (talk) 19:57, 13 June 2013 (UTC)
- Done, but both suffer from #language problem. Koumz (talk) 14:01, 26 August 2014 (UTC)
Bug with #language
[edit]Hello, are there any news about the #language problem with prevent to display the new languages which are added? This bug exists for 2 years and I saw no amelioration. Is Scribunto is available on species? Maybe we can rewrite the template using lua. Pamputt (talk) 11:18, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
- I have no information on this. Koumz (talk) 14:01, 26 August 2014 (UTC)

luo
[edit]Hello. Can you, please, add Luo language (ISO 639-3: luo)? I have a lot of vernacular names in Luo for animals and plants. --Omondi (talk) 13:46, 25 May 2015 (UTC)
- @Omondi: There is no Template:Luo up to now. (see for example Template:fr) --Murma174 (talk) 02:46, 24 March 2016 (UTC)
- Done@Omondi and Murma74: I dunno if such a template was needed in 2016, but it is no longer so. Circeus (talk) 03:46, 21 September 2018 (UTC)

Sylheti
[edit]{{Editprotected}}
Hi can you add Sylheti language? Its iso code is syl. Its native name is ꠍꠤꠟꠐꠤ Msasag (talk) 16:07, 4 July 2018 (UTC)
- Done @Msasag: by Tommy Kronkvist Circeus (talk) 03:58, 21 September 2018 (UTC)
Yami
[edit]ISO is TAO. Thanks Leeheonjin (talk) 21:21, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
ja, zh and zh-han
[edit]Kindly add ja (Japanese) and zh (Chinese). In case if you accept variants, zh-han at least would be handy. Thank you in advance. —Omotecho (talk) 02:12, 26 October 2018 (UTC)
- Not done @Omotecho: The template already caters for ja, zh-classical, zh-hans, zh-hant, zh-min-nan, zh-tw, zh-yue and zh. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 17:33, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
- Case closed. Thank you for your reply, Andy. --Omotecho (talk) 17:46, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
kxd
[edit]Request to add kxd (Brunei Malay) language. Thank you. Zulfadli51 (talk) 14:10, 1 September 2019 (UTC)

Capitalization
[edit]Just seen Gryllotalpa gryllotalpa. Some languages names are capitalized, some are not. Can it be normalised. --82.126.36.50 14:51, 12 September 2019 (UTC)
- I think it's okay now, per the Help:Contents guideline. However please note that (contrary to the other languages) English vernacular names should use "Title Caps" rather than "Sentence caps", and that all German proper nouns should always be capitalised (whether part of a vernacular name or not). –Tommy Kronkvist (talk), 18:24, 12 September 2019 (UTC).
Collapsible lists for better legibility
[edit]I suggest we make the "Vernacular names" sections collapsible/expandable so that they wont take up as much space on taxon pages with a large number of vernacular names. See for example Columba livia and Passer domesticus where the "Vernacular names" sections takes up 70% of the pages, or more. Making this change only requires minute additions to the code, e.g. see the {{Nadi}}
template.
–Tommy Kronkvist (talk), 02:41, 25 November 2019 (UTC).
- Agree, but maybe make it possible for the option to leave it uncollapsed? I don't think there is a way for it to trigger if more than X languages are used, but most uses probably don't call for collpasing it. Circeus (talk) 05:38, 25 November 2019 (UTC)
kfr for Kachchi
[edit]Please add kfr for Kachchi (કચ્છી). Thank you! Smettems (talk) 04:46, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

Requests
[edit]Request to add:
- [xwa] Kwaza of Brazil
- [kmh] Kalam of Papua New Guinea
These languages have extensive ethnobiological reference sources, with many plant and animal names documented.
And how would a proto-language be added, if at all possible? Sagotreespirit (talk) 13:07, 19 May 2020 (UTC)
nia
[edit]Can someone add nia (Nias language)? See Talk:Gracula robusta. Monster Iestyn (talk) 16:04, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
Double Sundanese and add some Indonesian local languages
[edit]@Pigsonthewing: Hi Andy, the Sundanese label is shown twice. Could you please delete one of these lines?
-->{{#if:{{{su|}}}|'''{{#language:su}}:''' {{{su}}}<br/>}}<!--
Also, could you please add these language codes from Indonesian local languages? The languages have Wikipedia communities under WMID's support.
- Balinese (local name: Bali; language code: ban)
- Minangkabau (local name: Minangkabau; language code: min)
- Banjar (local name:Banjar ; language code: bjn)
- Gorontalo (local name: Hulontalo; language code: gor)
- Toba Batak (local name: Batak Toba; language code: bbc)
- Madurese (local name: Madhurâ; language code: mad)
- Nias (local name: Niha; language code: nia)
Thank you in advance.
Wirjadisastra (talk) 04:09, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
- @Wirjadisastra: All done; except we need to add labels for "min" and "nia". If I can figure out where! Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 07:48, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
- @Pigsonthewing: I'm sorry but I don't get what you mean by labels for "min" & "nia". Are the codes causing any bug? Wirjadisastra (talk) 09:22, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
- @Wirjadisastra: There is no bug. You can add names in all of the above languages. If you add the name "Foorbar" in Banjar, the template will display "Banjar: Foobar"; but if you add it in Madurese, it will currently display "mad: Foorbar", and for Nias, "nia: Foorbar". We need to fix these, so that the names of the languages are displayed, instead of their three-letter codes. Apparently this has to be done via Phabricator, so: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T261387 Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 09:36, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

[edit]missing are bjs and jam, see eg Melicoccus bijugatus--Estopedist1 (talk) 05:52, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
Kotava language
[edit]Can you add Kotava language? Its ISO code is "avk". Kotavusik (talk) 21:36, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
- Kotava is an international constructed language and have a Wikipedia ( avk.wikipedia.org ). The denomination of plants and animals is well developed in Kotava. Please add Kotava language to Wikispecies. Kotavusik (talk) 08:53, 26 March 2021 (UTC)
cr and oj
[edit]Could Cree and Ojibwe (ISO cr and oj) be added? The vernacular "Moose" (Alces americanus) in particular comes from Algonquian cognates, and it might be helpful for some other North American animals.--Molandfreak (talk) 02:04, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
- @Molandfreak: I've added
oj
, but it has the same labelling issue as described above formad
andnia
; hence T277505.cr
is already available. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 20:00, 15 March 2021 (UTC) - @Molandfreak, can you try ojb instead of oj?
- It's already supported in MediaWiki software. It's only one of the varieties, but to the best of my understanding, it's the most common and written one.
- If it's not appropriate, please let me know, and I'll try to find a solution. Amir E. Aharoni / אמיר א׳ אהרוני (talk) 11:59, 25 July 2021 (UTC)
mnw
[edit]Please add "mnw" for Mon language. --Octahedron80 (talk) 03:03, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

- Thanks! Kwamikagami (talk) 10:03, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
- @Pigsonthewing: Can I create articles if I don't have the authority info, or should I only add to existing articles? Kwamikagami (talk) 21:06, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
Please add Eastern Arrernte, Pitjantjatjara and Alyawarr
[edit]The ISOs for these languages are aer, pjt and aly respectively. I don't think these are available on Media-Wiki yet though. These are all Australian Aboriginal languages. Thanks! OutbackMinecrafter (talk) 08:41, 17 April 2022 (UTC)
- Done. Sorry for the delay. Tommy Kronkvist (talk), 16:40, 10 May 2022 (UTC).
The Saami languages with actual orthographies
[edit]- sma – Southern
- sju – Ume
- sje – Pite
- smj – Lule
- se (also sme) – Northern
- smn – Inari
- sms – Skolt
- sjd – Kildin
The names for these languages in their own language are listed in the Phabricator task WMHack19: Add Saami + Romani languages to Wikidata. Northern and Inari Saami have their own wikipedias, the rest are in the incubator. Northern Saami also has country-specific codes in some wikimedia projects: se-fi, se-no, and se-se. It would be useful if these are also added, if possible. The rest of the Saami languages not listed above do not have official orthographies and should not be added imo to prevent people from adding non-existing spellings to Wikispecies. Thank you for adding the 8 listed above! Yupik (talk) 20:29, 11 August 2023 (UTC)

Please add this
[edit]Hello, can you add en-us (American English) as a language, mainly for the Planatus genre, as they are called Sycamore in the USA and Plane in UK and Australia. 204.100.235.120 17:44, 24 October 2024 (UTC)
- Unfortunately not. As vernacular names are not an important part of taxonomy, the vernacular names list in Wikispecies is only a summary; it's not intended to be a comprehensive listing of every local variant, past or present. This has been discussed and decided upon many times during the past several years. Please see the usage section (and the "Simple English" section below it) in our Vernacular Names Guideline for a bit more information.
