The goal of this WikiProject is to compile the rules for the biological taxonomy in wikidata and implement them. An overview of the rules shall be compiled here, the discussion takes place on the talk page.
In general, each taxon has its own item here: The species Exiliboa placata (Q606) as well as its monotypic genus Exiliboa (Q13231734). Moreover, each (important/notable) taxonomic viewpoint can be stored, also historic ones. See for example Cactaceae (Q14560).

Properties and qualifiers[edit]
Tutorial[edit]
You'll find some explanation on how to use the following properties in our tutorial (work in progress).
Properties each item (that deals with a taxon) should have[edit]
| Title | ID | Data type | Description | Examples | Inverse |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| instance of | P31 | Item | instance of: taxon (Q16521) (or a subclass: monotypic taxon (Q310890), fossil taxon (Q23038290), clade (Q713623)) | Exiliboa <instance of> monotypic taxon | - |
| taxon name | P225 | String | taxon name: correct scientific name of a taxon (according to the reference given) | cat <taxon name> Felis silvestris catus | - |
| taxon rank | P105 | Item | taxonomic rank: level in a taxonomic hierarchy | Felis silvestris <taxon rank> species | - |
| parent taxon | P171 | Item | taxon: closest parent taxon of the taxon in question | cat <parent taxon> Felis silvestris | - |
Note: To avoid already fixed constraint violations, bots should only import these properties if
- the item has no property instance of (P31) or
- instance of (P31) = taxon (Q16521) or a subclass of it.
Optional properties[edit]
The complete list can also be viewed at Special:WhatLinksHere/Q18609040 (Wikidata property for a taxon).
