Hello,  
i noticed that there are a lot of taxon flags, but it seems like there is no option to filter them by a specified taxon. For example, it is not possible to show all taxon flags concerning a single family.

I dont dare to resolve flags concerning taxa i am not familiar with. I think it is good to have an overview on the topic, or at least on which catalogue to use/trust. But there are too many flags to look through them to find the ones concerning my group. That’s why i would find it useful to have the option to filter them. Right now, i am only curating taxa if i stumble upon an issue randomly. What do you think?

Best wishes,  
Jakob

Hi Jakob, [I’ve put in a request to make this filter more prominent](https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/show-taxon-filter-on-flags-page-before-committing-search/12452), but you are already able to filter flags by taxon. For example, here are all the [unresolved flags on ground beetles](https://www.inaturalist.org/flags?utf8=%E2%9C%93&flagger_type=any&flagger_name=&flagger_user_id=&user_name=&user_id=&flaggable_type=Taxon&taxon_name=Carabidae&taxon_id=49567&flags%5B%5D=inappropriate&flags%5B%5D=other&reason_query=&resolved=no&resolver_name=&resolver_user_id=&commit=Filter&utf8=%E2%9C%93&flagger_user_id=&commit=Filter).
