see [https://www.inaturalist.org/taxon\_changes/152855](https://www.inaturalist.org/taxon_changes/152855) Not only is there a whale shark error currently in place of the map, but there’s also some ‘broken’ text at the top: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/inaturalist/original/3X/e/c/ecfd73f18b216875f543ee6bdfb27a7dce90a7a1.png) (I also note this broken text is elsewhere on the homepage on the ungrafted taxa widget: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/inaturalist/original/3X/f/1/f1982f679afe2a7f83c4147235a1a13d1e86d5e3.png) ) ---

I can see the same, and I am also having problems a) adding a new taxon (the process seems to work but the taxon dissappeared after a few minutes) and removing names/synonyms from taxa. ---

I committed a taxon change and deleted a name almost the same time this was posted, and both seem to have taken. However both the broken heads up, fail whale and the broken ungrafted taxa box show the same for me as well, in safari and chrome. ---

Weird… I created this taxon: [https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/1601502-Isolepis-limbata](https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/1601502-Isolepis-limbata) It exists, yet it is not offered when one starts typing… also the name section at the bottom of the page has the spinning circle of death, and clicking on ‘manage names’ presents a blank page… I wonder if this is related to your issues @thebeachcomber. There is definitely something buggy about taxa. ---

> [@mftasp](#): > > yet it is not offered when one starts typing same for me, doesn’t exist when I start to type the name into any search bar however, I just created this [new taxon](https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/1601520-Spyridium-glabrisepalum) within the last hour, and it does show up when I type its name in so whatever the issue is seems to be a bit inconsistent with what it’s affecting ---

I see the same things. I’ve been doing a fair bit of taxonomising the last couple of days and I can’t say it’s caused me any practical problems that I’ve noticed ---

I just created two new taxa (lichens) and had no issues doing so. ---

All taxon swaps I have looked at today have the whale shark instead of the maps. e.g. [https://www.inaturalist.org/taxon\_swaps/154187](https://www.inaturalist.org/taxon_swaps/154187) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/inaturalist/original/3X/a/8/a8edfca6af0052cdb0ebbd748c7b1b265ef71991.jpeg) This map construct appears to be the error: [https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/map?placement=taxon-changes-show&taxa[]=1601897&taxa[]=677245](https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/map?placement=taxon-changes-show&taxa%5B%5D=1601897&taxa%5B%5D=677245) ---

The maps should be fixed now. ---

Thanks Tony, I edited the taxon and re-saved it without changing anything and it did the trick. ---
