Hello. I'm Andy Mabbett. Please see en:User:Pigsonthewing for my main user page and declaration of interests.

Wikispecies

My interests on Wikispecies include building and improving templates, in order to enhance the standardisation of presentation and machine readability of our data, to facilitate closer integration with Wikidata. I undertake housekeeping and anti-vandalism tasks in my role as an administrator. I also work on identity disambiguation ("authority control") for people and journals.

Templates

Since 2020, we have had consensus to develop more templates for citations. But a lamentable lack of willingness to implement that consensus, from those with the ability to do so. As ever, I remain wiling to do my part.

Tools

Wikidata script

For those of you who also edit Wikidata, or wish to, I recommend the user script at d:User:Msz2001/WikidataInfo.js.

Simply add the code:

mw.loader.load("//www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=User:Msz2001/WikidataInfo.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript"); // Backlink: [[d:User:Msz2001/WikidataInfo.js]]

to your common.js page on this wiki (or your global.js on Meta), and it will insert, below a Wikispecies page's title, a link to the corresponding Wikidata item, or a link to create one if none exists. In the former case, it all also show the Wikidata label and aliases, in your preferred language.
