Wikispecies:Institution acronyms needing fixes

A project within the Wikispecies Projects

Suggested process[edit]

Create a Category:Unused institution acronyms (or whatever name is preferred) under Category:Repositories.
- This allows these categories to be easily monitored via a bot.
Select a preferred acronym within each set.
Move all other acronym categories to Category:Unused institution acronyms.
- If a category has been hard-redirected, recreate and categorise it.
Insert a new template {{Unused institution acronym}} on these category pages (similar to en:Template:Category redirect)
Redirect all acronym pages to the chosen acronym
- Move all information not duplicated to the main page and include a list of the merged acronym on that page.
Apply {{Repository link}} to all taxon pages as the categories are changed (this makes it possible to change the institution link and category in a single place).
- Eventually this template should be able to detect use of an unused/dispreferred acronym.
Start back from 2)

Note: after these pages are done, a significant amount of work remains to be done on pages linked to Repositories
