Heads up: Some or all of the identifications affected by this split may have been replaced with identifications of Canis. This happens when we can't automatically assign an identification to one of the output taxa. Review identifications of Canis aureus 42047

@bobby23 (cc @jwidness) you should now be able to create and graft inactive taxa to branches covered by curated taxon frameworks. Can you give it a try by grafting Canis aureus to Canis?

Everything seems to be working, @loarie. Thanks!

Posted by bobby23 over 5 years ago

is everyone good to commit this?

Posted by loarie over 5 years ago

I am, at least. @jwidness ?

Posted by bobby23 over 5 years ago

Go for it

Posted by jwidness over 5 years ago

@jakob - you on board with this? It departs from IUCN but follows MDD

Posted by loarie over 5 years ago

Hi Scott, would prefer to finish our discussion first - just returned from this week's travels.

Posted by jakob about 5 years ago

I'm not sure what your position is, Jakob, but I'm in favor of this swap independently of the fact that it is followed by the MDD.

I'm very much in favour of this split from a taxonomic standpoint. However, I'd like to continue a discussion Scott @loarie and I had started how iNat will deal with external taxonomies in general, and with mammals in particular.

Posted by jakob about 5 years ago

OK! Thanks for clarification.

Posted by bobby23 about 5 years ago

jakob - do you have bandwidth to schedule that discussion that includes bobby and others who want to join as mentioned here https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/inaturalist-mammal-working-group/journal/21191?

Posted by loarie about 5 years ago

Are we ready to commit this one?

Posted by jwidness almost 5 years ago

we would be for sure - but lets hold off on any 'observose' taxon changes until next week since there's still a pretty major delayed jobs backup from City Nature Challenge (getting caught up on notifications etc.). Taxon Changes create lots of delayed jobs to update observations and IDs. This year we were talking about possible functionality to lock down things like taxon changes during big events like CNC...
