part of (P361)[edit]

I suppose that if there is part of (P361) subgenus (Q3238261) and subseries (Q13198444) then superspecies (Q1783100) should also be linked in order to keep full hierarchy. Infovarius (talk) 07:06, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

These "part of" statements (still present) are flawed. Subgenus isn't a group or sum of species, but is just a more general type of taxon. Other ranks (genus, family etc.) apparently have the same issue currently. Instead there is metasubclass of (P2445) property to link higher level classification ranks in a meaningful way. 2001:7D0:81DA:F780:3811:A4D1:D65A:F452 20:27, 19 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There is also next higher rank (P3730) which may fit. --Infovarius (talk) 19:55, 20 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Here metasubclass of (P2445) seems more clear and informative to me. next higher rank (P3730) looks like it's rather meant for organizational hierarchy and it doesn't denote relation between instances. Also with P2445 there's no need to wonder which higher rank exactly comes "next" (i.e. whether basic ranks like genus and species can be considered next to each, or should we also consider every intermediate rank that anyone has ever used). 2001:7D0:81DA:F780:C1CA:DA37:AADC:8114 08:25, 17 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

manifestation of (P1557)[edit]

fictional organism (Q1972868) or fictional species (Q21192438) --Fractaler (talk) 08:06, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I dunno about that; I think it'd be more accurate to say a particular real or fictional individual or community is the manifestation of the corresponding real or fictional species...a species needs holotypes to exist, and any individual in real life can be said to be part of a species (and many fictional ones too).

Request edit: Aromanian[edit]

I would like to move https://roa-rup.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specie here. This is not a merge proposition, just an addition of that article on the list here. Thanks! --Double Plus Ungood (talk) 03:05, 24 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
