Description of problem: After opening the “about” section on species which have none, the species page breaks and there is some “general weirdness”:

  • whale shark eating iNat in the “About” section
  • distribution info on the map view does not line up with the map (image 2)
  • formatting issues in the taxonomy tab (image 3), in the overview at the top (image 4) in the search bar (image 5), and also in the banner at the bottom of the page

Step 1: Open species with no about section (examples in the links above)

Step 2: Click on the “About” section ⇒ “I ate iNaturalist” message now appears instead of the normal note that no info has been added

Step 3: Notice a bunch of other weird stuff on the species page (see images)

Step 4: Closing and reopening the browser does not make this issue disappear

Step 5: Open a taxon page with a linked Wikipedia Article and everything should work as it should (tested on: https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/48484-Harmonia-axyridis)

Sorry about that. This has been fixed
