Update to those February links I offered
Pre-Mavericks for Pennsylvania has grown to almost 9K
We have abandoned the archive for resolved pre-mavericks and moved on to Placeholder Backup with 19K. (Hoping that since the new app has no placeholders, in time, we will get a better solution from iNat for website too)
Disagreements held at Plantae for Pennsylvania has also crept up to 250.
OK, this has been added! You’ll now see a “Disagreements” filter on the Identify page:
If you click that, the Identify page will show you observations that have at least one ID that is an explicit disagreement.
I’ve been testing this over the past week and I find it quite useful, especially if I also filter for taxa and places I know well.
Now, we’ve had to reindex basically every observation on the site over the past week or more for this to work, and the reindexing job isn’t complete yet. As of a few hours ago, it was still going through observations from 2022, but we’re releasing it now. I’ll make a bigger announcement once it’s completely ready.
Let us know if you think it’s helpful and if you notice any bugs.
Thank you - that gives me a way to tackle some of the African CNC backlog.
This is fantastic, thank you–I’ll definitely be using this feature often.
Also works to look at one’s own observations for disagreements one may have missed the notification for. I found a bizarre taxon-swap gone awry that let to a disagreement I would never have found otherwise.
This is fantastic indeed! Thank you for this long-awaited feature! I have some clean-up to do.
Does it filter both for active and inactive disagreement? For example, in this observation https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/195023271 the first ID has been removed and all active IDs agree. Is it possible to ignore such observations?
I should probably add that this is the link I’m using to find the disagreements https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/identify?reviewed=any&quality_grade=casual%2Cresearch%2Cneeds_id&user_id=frousseu&disagreements=true
Joining the chorus of this is great, thank you! Seems I missed quite a few notifications about disagreements… This makes it so much easier to find them!
So good! Thanks for putting up with the pain of reindexing. It appears half my local disagreements are about the Sambucus problem
Checking my own - I found only 2 - including this, which was Added to CV in Sept 2023
But I already monitor mine using iNat’s Maverick link
You can also use the Pre-Maverick project as a filter
Wonderfull. For me, it’s fine. Thanks a lot for the implementation. :)
No, it should show any observation where there’s an active ID with a disagreement.
I don’t know if that’s possible. I suspect not, or if it is it might necessitate another big reindexing job. But I’m not an engineer.
Another use for this new feature: Disagreements often prompt detailed explanations of how to identify stuff. I’ve already found a good number of valuable hints for telling tricky species apart checking for disagreements and looking at those with comments.
You might also add such observations to one of the projects here: https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/observations-with-helpful-id-tips-umbrella-project
OK, I’m going to close this request as the reindexing should be just about done.
