Not moved, 15 August 2024, to Betacoronavirus pandemicum, see discussion.

Infobox weirdness

This article is about the sub-genus sarbecovirus (a name that is a portmanteau of SARS-related betacoronavirus) and yet the infobox implies it is about a species called "Severe acute respiratory syndrome–related coronavirus" which it says is just one species of the sub-genus sarbecovirus.

The info box is a template Template:Taxonomy/Sarbecovirus which is an automated taxobox, something I am not familiar with.

Anyone know what is going on and how to sort it?

OK. I've fixed it. The key is to edit the input parameters to the template as per usual, not click on the little edit button on the template! Yaris678 (talk) 14:17, 22 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Betacoronavirus pandemicum

The authority on virus nomenclature, the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (the same organisation that originally named this species Severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus), has put its 2023 ruling into effect that all virus species names should be binomialised, and has renamed this species to Betacoronavirus pandemicum.

This article and others will need to be updated. Ypna (talk) 11:17, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I did a quick update of the lead sentence and infobox with this, but more work will be needed. Crossroads ^-talk- 20:15, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've created a move request. Benpiano800 (talk) 04:46, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 15 August 2024

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: not moved. There's a consensus not to move per WP:COMMONNAME, which takes precedence over WP:OFFICIAL in cases where the official name is not widely used. (closed by non-admin page mover) Safari Scribe^{Edits! Talk!} 06:00, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

SARS-related coronavirus → Betacoronavirus pandemicum – "Betacoronavirus pandemicum" is the official binomial name for the species. Benpiano800 (talk) 03:24, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: WikiProject COVID-19 and WikiProject Viruses have been notified of this discussion. SilverLocust 💬 05:55, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Betacoronavirus pandemicum is the new binomial, but being new is not widely used yet. Wikipedia naming rules require article titles to use the most widely used name (WP:COMMONNAME), even though it might be better to use scientific names in many cases. — Jts1882 | talk 08:22, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Opose per WP:COMMONNAME. CursedWithTheAbilityToDoTheMath (talk) 08:28, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
