Topic: Incorrect taxonomy tags?

Posted under Tag/Wiki Projects and Questions

What's the protocol for incorrect taxonomy tags? For example, barracudas are Istiophoriforms along with marlins and swordfish, yet the tag barracuda implicates Scombriform, which is the group including mackerels and tunas among others. The Wahoo, a Scombriform, is sometimes mistaken for a barracuda, but they're only distantly related and have big physical differences. I've looked around the request implication/BUR pages but frankly I don't trust myself to not break things or mess something up, haha. Info or help would be great!

Don't be afraid to experiment with BURs. They are always reviewed by a staff member before being approved.

In this case, the script below should be what you are looking for. Just paste it into the request form and remember to explain your reasoning (preferably with sources).

remove implication barracuda -> scombriform
create implication barracuda -> istiophoriform

The existing barracuda posts need to be manually corrected after the BUR is approved, but you can message me and I'll help using an automatic tool.
