        Sorry about that, when there's no matching Wikipedia page for the species name, it has to be manually created. So you went the correct way to request manual species creation. This basically sends an email to moderators whom will then manually create the species record. Can take a few hours.

        As such, please only request it once per photo. Doing it multiple times for the same name does not speed it up, it only duplicates emails.         Posted 2 years ago
