Function overview: Populates |authority=
fields in taxoboxes if empty.

Function details:
Populates |authority=
field in taxoboxes if empty.
The data source is the Global Names Database (see Patterson, D. J.; Cooper, J.; Kirk, P. M.; Pyle, R. L.; Remsen, D. P. (2010). "Names are key to the big new biology". Trends in Ecology & Evolution. 25 (12): 686. doi: 10.1016/j.tree.2010.09.004.); where there is ambiguity, a list of possible names will be set in a hidden comment, with a categorization to invite human disambiguation. Data will only be added when it is absent; existing data will not be modified.
Edits using this data source in a different context can be seen at [1] and [2].
Could you please shortly explain this task to users unfamiliar with the taxoboxes (i.e. me)? So the |authority=
is basically the source of the classification with which the article deals directly? And what you do is add this information (i.e. who classified it?) from the "Global Names Database"? Previously, instead of bare text, you would create and add a template? But now the request is simply adding bare text? Can you perhaps provide one or two manual edits of what this task does.
Also, does Kevmin still have objections? — HELLKNOWZ ▎ TALK 13:55, 19 December 2010 (UTC) reply
{{automatic taxobox|other parameters=}}
. For an example of the output (manually generated with wikilinks, which the bot won't add) see
