Description

The Delete Taxon operation allows to delete one or more taxa from the taxonomy.

After selecting one or more taxa in the taxonomy browser, contributors have the option to delete all selected taxa by selecting the delete taxa operation from the taxonomic toolbar. This opens a pop-up requesting the contributor to confirm that the selected taxa should actually be deleted. Deleting a taxon will also delete all taxa contained within the subtree defined by the taxon.
