Hey @jasonhernandez74! That was actually @kevinfaccenda’s idea in the linked thread, although I did agree it would be an improvement (while also indicating I liked this idea better). 
One limitation of that idea, I think, is that it would just apply to the page from which IDs are being made, so it wouldn’t fully solve the issue.
It’s also quite an eyeful, when a simpler format, more aligned with the species common name presentation, is possible.
Another thing I stumbled across (while putting together this feature request), is that the other idea was previously rejected. That was in August 2021, and I suppose it could be modified in some form, but it looked like it got complicated to implement based upon whether one’s user preference was for common names or Latin names.
So, I like this proposal - but to each their own!
