:Thanks, I think it's a good addition. I wonder if something similar could be used on pages about animals and fungi as well. I notice that your template would already produce four good links on [[Marmota olympus]], for example. [[Usor:Lesgles|Lesgles]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Lesgles|disputatio]]) 19:25, 9 Ianuarii 2017 (UTC)
::I naturally like the tidiness of this, but having an undifferentiated category for all species of plants is eventually going to populate an almost impossibly large page, there being about 200,000 described dicots alone. Something like 1.5 million insects have been described, and expert estimates of the number of beetles that remain to be discovered are said to be in the range of four to eight million.

:::To Iacobus: oh, I know. But I think it could be useful for housekeeping, so that we can immediately find all articles that are about species (genera, families, etc. etc.) And the alphabetical order may possibly be handy occasionally.
:::To Lesgles: I hadn't decided whether it's better to make this same template also cover animals (... fungi, viruses) or whether to make different templates for those. The overlap that you found suggests that one template for all might be the better way. It will be a simple matter to add further sources. As you see, each source only appears if Wikidata knows of a relevant entry in that source; e.g., in any particular case, if ''Tropicos'' doesn't have the taxon (or if the ''Tropicos'' entry hasn't yet been added to Wikidata) ''Tropicos'' will not appear on our page.
