Taxononybot is a bot created by Alan Rockefeller. It runs on Pywikibot, a Python library that interfaces with Mediawiki.

Features[edit | edit source]

Checks this wiki for newly created pages - when a new page is found, it checks the iNaturalist taxonomy and iNaturalist Provisional Species Name observation field via the iNaturalist API to see if the page is a species name in use on iNaturalist. If it is, it makes sure a References section exists at the end of the article that links to the observation of that species or provisional species name on iNaturalist.
