Reduction in flags

Hey all,

Not sure if irrelevant, but for curation i tend to limit my views on flagged issues only to ‘arthropoda’.

Since last Christmas (pre 2025) i’ve seen a reduction in unresolved flagged issues from a backlog of “44 pages” now down to “41 pages”, with the last shift yesterday to show a reduction of yet another page from the backlog. I’m simply writing to say - awesome work everyone who helped reduce the backlog down. Many issues seem recalcitrant as unpublished homonyms and such, but it’s really nice to see backlog reducing, so thankyou all. Hopefully we hear from staff about how they value all your contributions, rather than just my voice as a random volunteer, anyway - awesome work everyone who helped!

What is the easiest way to filter for unresolved flags on insects?
I know I can use https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/47158/flags, but how to filter for unresolved as well?

And thank you for doing a lot of flags, the situation would be much worse without your work.

Just further to that, yes - should work with custom URL once logged into your account. Just different taxon id number for whatever lineage, the rest on "t_e_d"s version after the core is really just gravy. Essence for arthropods then like this
https://www.inaturalist.org/flags?flaggable_type=Taxon&taxon_id=47120

But, it is possible to define that taxon limitation on the main options menu. From the flag page, change “content type” to read ‘Taxon’. That makes another radio button box below, but no actual magic until you press “Filter”. It should then convert that into a box you can type into, labelled taxon. Add the desired keyword “e.g. insect” and select the relevant thing from the dropdown. Then, click the magic blue filter button again and the number of flags should now be limited. Convoluted eh?!
