I’ve noticed that while most taxon pages default to the “Taxonomy” tab, for taxa below genus and above species, it instead defaults to the “About” tab. Is there a particular reason for this or is this a bug? This is probably trivial for most users, but it can make flipping through nested taxon pages…

Thank you. I thought I had seen a similar topic before but couldn’t find it when searching
