	The Technical Barnstar
	I believe this award is appropriate for your work on Template:Vital article link. The template is quite useful to the Vital Articles project, and I appreciate your efforts. GeogSage (⚔Chat?⚔) 03:14, 20 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Set index article section is currently unused and undocumented. Do you have a plan for it? Unused templates are typically deleted. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:02, 12 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

For context, see Template talk:WikiProject banner shell/Archive 11#Set index articles. It obviously was not taken up, so I've deleted it — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 16:39, 12 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that. I saw the discussion and figured as much, but for editors whose names I recognize, I like to reach out instead of just going to TFD. – Jonesey95 (talk) 16:46, 12 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

The way the articles are now is correct. The confusion between these genera was introduces by a taxonomic database and other followed this. I have read that in a research article somewhere. I will try to find it for you (not right now though). But please don't move the articles. The systematics as presented on CoL is correct and I used that one.

How confusing! Please can you update their parent taxon on Wikidata when you have time — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 16:01, 13 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

You can find it here, last paragraph: https://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/xhtml/03EA8A534926FFD7AF29F931FBEBC745 (it even mentions wikispecies!) B33tleMania12 (talk) 16:03, 13 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I am not to good with wikidata, but I will have a look later today (I hope) B33tleMania12 (talk) 16:03, 13 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I've fixed a couple but there are probably more — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 16:04, 13 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

On wikidata you mean? I will have a look later. It should be as it is on wikipedia now. Oh, and Hyposerica laevigata is now Balbera gracilis (https://www.catalogueoflife.org/data/taxon/KGF7). We dont have that species page yet, but I will get to it one day. B33tleMania12 (talk) 16:06, 13 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Think I've got most of them. Do you have any reference for Hyposerica strenua or Hyboserica strenua? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 16:20, 13 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Awesome, thanks! For strenua: https://www.catalogueoflife.org/data/taxon/3NYM5 and https://ia801901.us.archive.org/9/items/biostor-71020/biostor-71020.pdf (page 101 of the pdf and originally page 261 in the publication)

Thank you for catching and undoing five instances of duplicate WikiProject additions that I inadvertantly made. The reason is that they used WP or wikiProject instead of the usual WikiProject, which I did not catch and skip. I regret the error, and have updated my settings to skip these cases. —ADavidB 01:34, 18 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
