Wikispecies:Institution acronyms needing fixes - Wikispecies

A project within the Wikispecies Projects

1. 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.
2. Select a preferred acronym within each set.
3. Move all other acronym categories to Category:Unused institution acronyms.
   • If a category has been hard-redirected, recreate and categorise it.
4. Insert a new template {{Unused institution acronym}} on these category pages (similar to en:Template:Category redirect)
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. Start back from 2)

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

Page and category name different

• HU_(Museum) (Cat) (name different from category)
• INPA_(Museum) (Cat) (name different from category)

Other

• CAS (Cat) subcategories should be eliminated or renamed?
• MAK (Cat) Page is for herbarium, but category has stuff from MAKB

• NPC (Cat) (should be a collection, but under what?)
• NSMT (Cat)
  • NMNST (Cat) (Is this en:Tsukuba Botanical Garden?)
• NZAC (Cat)
  • NZNAC (Cat) (should maybe be a collection after merger?)

(mostly stuff where only the generic part of the name is abbreviated, or including a D/B for departments of biology and the like)
