The state of common names

General

Incidentally, when a new lexicon is added, how long does it take to show up in the list of lexicons? I have been adding names in Guaymí (a Chibchan-family language spoken in the Chiriquí region of Panama), and I have to use the “add new lexicon” option with each word because adding the first name did not put it on the list.

Definitely a bit weird. here’s one of those names: https://www.inaturalist.org/taxon_names/3359924/edit

It shows as “unknown” on the edit page:

But appears correct on the taxon page:

This is a known issue, the lexicon will be added if you wait long enough. It is solved in the end: https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/155941/taxon_names/new https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/it-seems-khanty-language-is-missing-from-possible-languages/37887/2
