Description
The Create Taxon operation is used to create a single new taxon in the taxonomy.
After selecting a (single) taxon in the taxonomy browser as the new taxon's parent, contributors have the option to create a taxon by selecting the add taxon operation from the taxonomic toolbar. This opens a pop-up that requires the contributor to specify the name of the taxon and allows to provide optional data, such as a publication reference as the naming authority and the taxonomic rank.
See Taxon for a full description of a Taxon and associated data.
Newly created taxa are assigned a numerical identifier, the UniEuk Taxon ID (Taxon#taxon-identifier), automatically.
