Moth Photographers Group Links Missing

Links to Moth Photographers Group appear to be missing from all North American moth species I have checked, including some that I know had links previously. Because this appears to be widespread or includes species that previous had links, I’m assuming this is system-level bug, rather than a curatorial issue. IIRC those links are usually auto-populated.

I replicated this on iOS, Chrome and Edge. I searched the forum and could not find a prior bug report on this issue.

Platform: Chrome (iOS); Chrome (Windows); Microsoft Edge (Windows)

URLs (aka web addresses) of any relevant observations or pages:

See eg White Lined Sphinx and Luna Moth.

Screenshots of what you are seeing:

Description of problem:

Links to Moth Photographers Group not appearing in the “More Info” list on the About page for North American moth species.

Unfortunately this likely is a curatorial issue. See this feature request for a description of the problem and a proposed solution.

O interesting. Any suggestions on how should I go about requesting that it gets fixed in this particular instance? From your post, it sounds like a curator will need to go in reapply the template element to all moth superfamilies with observations in North America. Should I put a curator flag on the taxa page for Lepidoptera maybe?

I think that’s going to be the only solution, since I don’t think there is any way to search for the old existing taxon link to restore the template formatting.

When you make the flag, also provide an example of a URL to the Moth Photographers Group, and a list of the moth superfamilies that should be included, and most any curator should be able to help in short order.
