Label merged names or modified names in xCOL to distinguish from the names coming from the COL Checklist

[DianRHR]

It is important to include a visible label or mark to all the names merged in the xCOL or even those from the COL Checklist whose information was modified resulting from the merge (i. e. authority added).

This would facilitate the revisions of the xCOL, to filter issues in CLB only for those names and, eventually, when the XCOL become available for public consultation on the COL page.

@mdoering as we discussed in cph, there should be a simple flag on each taxon / name to verify if it is an XCOL / merged name. It would cause the UI make many requests if it were to lookup sectors for every taxon in a tree or search result .

sth like xcol: true or sectorType: merge

@camiplata could you please transfer this issue to https://github.com/CatalogueOfLife/checklistbank ? I don´t seem to have the rights to do that

[mdoering]

@thomasstjerne you should have rights to xcol now

[mdoering]

Can we clarify where exactly in the UI this flag is relevant? All data entities are related to a sector, so we can/should not only flag taxa, but also synonyms, vernaculars, etc. In detail

• [ ] tree browse
• [ ] search results
• [ ] taxon info
  • [ ] synonymy
  • [ ] references
  • [ ] distribution
  • [ ] vernacular names
  • [ ] name relations

anything else?

I find the asterisk prefix on names in search results a bit irritating - even if you know what it means. I would not tie it to the name - better indicate it elsewhere or in a new tiny column?

Here is a demo taxon with merged synonyms: https://www.checklistbank.org/dataset/292456/taxon/32

As mentioned above we need to label all info records on these detail pages
