link from scientific name to Wikipedia pages

Open dwhieb opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

[from Arok:] It would be good if entries with scientific names could link from the scientific name to the relevant Wikipedia page.

This is a very source-specific request, since some sources will have scientific names, and others won't. Also, some sources may have the scientific names pulled into separate fields, while others may have the scientific names lumped into the definition.

One way to handle this feature in a language-agnostic and source-agnostic way is with an "additional info" field or something similar, which the linguist could provide in markdown / HTML and would get displayed verbatim. Alternatively we could support an actual "scientific name" field with an optional link specified, since this is something that many dictionary sources will have.
