== Greges cultivarietatum (cultivar groups) ==

''Brought back from the archive''

The concept of group (distinct from subspecies) is official in botany, and Vicipaedia has a few articles (and categories) that need regularizing to accommodate it. An example of the prescribed pattern is given and parenthetically explained in [[:en:Cultivar group|Wikipedia]] thus:

 

== Maps and Latin names ==

Hi there, I noticed that the new maps are showing rather less Latin than they might, given that a lot of the Latin names we use are linked by Wikidata IDs to OpenStreetMap onbjects so could be easily applied to Wikimedia maps. I've raised a [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T271627 Phabricator ticket] to see whether this is something that would need to be built, or a bug. I also note that [https://www.maptiler.com/maps/#streets/la/vector/3/4.33/51.83 Maptiler.com] does this already (applies wikidata names to OSM places via Wikidata IDs that have been added to them).

:Which are the "new maps"? Can you link to an example?

::Quick, and somewhere in between right and wrong, would be to rename our page "[[Ovis]]" (currently a redirect) and then link it once more to the pages it was linked with before. See my ancient comment of 2007 on the article talk page -- I thought then, and I still think, that "Ovis" is a good name. That would still leave us free to adopt the right way that Anne describes and have a separate "species" article, and a separate "Ovis (genus)" article too, if we ever thought it necessary.

:::OK, so it's a new & specific manifestation of an old & general problem, in which scientific taxonomy has repurposed a classical Latin noun, perhaps leaving us with, as Andrew suggests, the need to distinguish in separate articles the ancient understanding (e.g., [[Ovis]], the common name, with no italics) from the modern one (e.g., ''[[Ovis (genus)|Ovis]],'' the genus, with its italics). And it involves not just plants & animals: classical ''[[fungus]]'' was any old mushroom, distinct from all the forms collected as [[fungi]], and ''[[virus]]'' was slime, poison, and a bitter taste, distinct from [[virus biologicum]].
