Future notulae/info to spread

• Hapochoron Gistel, 1848 and Nupserha Chevrolat, 1858
• Signal to Roguet and Tavakilian that the correct spellling/authorship/date is "Taloepora Fairmaire & Germain, 1860"
• Re port to AFD that they still attribute Zygocera to Erichson while also listing the species as Disterna canosa!!
• The correct place of publication of Apophylia is not Thomson, 1858, but Duponchel in D'Orbichy, 1841: 31.
• Axiotheata Duponchel in D'Orbigny, 1842 is the valid name for Sophraena Baly, 1865
• Cladophila is available with authorship of Schaum, 1847 and type Psoa americana Fabricius, 1801, but I can't track the taxonomic placement of Fabricius' species!

Long term projects

• Delete/rename
  • Zootaxa templates and the
  • Phytotaxa ones (Dammit, Janet Stephen...)
  • And the MycoKeys ones
• Clean up unused (est. 6000) and uncatecorized templates (2000+)
  • Ask about Category:Occupation templates and Category:author templates
  • Also:{{annual}}
• Deprecated templates to clean up:
  • {{auth}}, {{nomen}}, {{syn}}, {{species}}, {{zfg}}, {{ref}}, {{BibForm}}, {{au}}
  • Consider potentially deprecating: {{AEMNP}} {{NZEnt}}, {{phytotaxa}}, {{Zootaxa}}, {{ZootaxaDOI}}.
• Update old uses of {{zootaxa}} so they display actual DOIs
• Convert "patronyms" categories into Eponym ones
• Keep adding {{access}} to templates that use {{doi}}
• Clean up Pages to merge
• Prepare a list of repositories of scanned literature
• Revise the help pages into a true styleguide
• Wrangle people into agreeing/voting about a formal specific citation style, at least for new templates.
  • Base poll on reference format
  • How to present book pagination? What about plates?
  • How to deal with overly long book titles?
  • Material in nonlatin alphabets or translated material
  • What's the format for monographs in series? What if the series is unnumbered?
  • What about journal series?
  • How to present and word "post-reference links"?
  • Materials cited from a later publication
  • inaccurate dates of publication
  • articles in multiple parts
  • Capitalisation in serial titles
• Get people onboard to actually swap back {{taxa authored}} with the code currently in {{taxa authored 2}}

Done, or just as good as

• Clean up pages with the sequence </noinclude><noinclude>
• Clean up Internal links formatted as external ones

example material

• DOI: 10.1002/tax.12122, template:Macfarlane et al., 2010 (example of a paper with impractical amount of authors)
• Atheta WTF sort of organizatoin is this
• Cernauncus what is the proper format for subspecies? This one is mixed
• Citation practice for taxonomy: Wägele et al. 2011 & Payne et al. 2014
