Mark whole taxon as ‘reviewed’

[lisa_bennett]

Hello! Is it possible to mark all the ‘needs ID’ section of an entire taxon as ‘reviewed’ without going through each page of observations separately?
There are plenty of taxa that I have no idea about, for example to me a squirrel is a squirrel is a squirrel, and I’m not likely to learn any more about squirrels in the foreseeable future. If I could mark all current squirrel observations as ‘reviewed’ I would be more likely to find things I could actually help with.
I know I could exclude them via searches, but to do it every time when I just feel like browsing through is a bit tedious.

You can filter to a branch of the taxonomy, and crank the number of results up from 30 to I think 200 max… that way the “Mark all as reviewed” hits a bigger chunk of them each time.

Add &per_page=200 to the end of your url to change the number per page
eg:
https://inaturalist.nz/observations/identify?taxon_id=45933&place_id=any&per_page=200

That would be nice to know. I’ve seen enough Cyanobacteria for now.

Great thank you @kiwifergus! It would certainly speed things up a bit.

@kiwifergus How can i un-mark a whole taxon as reviewed?

[kiwifergus]

I don’t think you can. I set “per page” to 200 and just “mark as reviewed” until all gone. I used a saved identify filter though, with reverse sort order and a start date of 1/1/2014, so I don’t need to clear all the way back. It’s a pain to identify when not on your own computer if you don’t have your own bookmarks, and iNat won’t be adding account based bookmarks etc, so I just don’t bother identifying unless I’m on my own computer!
