I’m hoping that these are auto-generated and so can all be fixed at once. If I go to the status tab here
https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/181101-Cicindela-abdominalis
and click on the NS link I get page not found at
https://www.natureserve.org/explorer/servlet/NatureServe?searchName=Cicindela+abdominalis
I think that they need to be changed to something like
https://explorer.natureserve.org/Search#q=Cicindela+abdominalis
Annoyingly, I don’t think that format is going to work, it returns no results. I can search for Cicindela abdonminalis and I get results, but the URL does not change:
Blech! What this produces works but is clunky.
“Cicindela abdominalis site:https://explorer.natureserve.org”
and I realized that when I made direct NSX links in a query I had to use the ou and seq IDs which are not available here via iNat. This seemed to work
https://explorer.natureserve.org/Search?q=Cicindela+abdominalis
The URL format used in the Taxon Link (About tab, More Info column) still seems to work best:
https://explorer.natureserve.org/search?sn=Cicindela%20abdominalis
Unfortunately it looks like the links in Status tab entries have to be edited individually.
Also, I edited your topic title to be more specific about where the links are broken - hope this is ok, but feel free to edit further.

Thanks. That’s definitely best. Someone’s gotta be able to do a bulk replace for the ones with NSX links, no?
One would think so, but that would have to be a special request to Staff I think.
