editThe first word of compound names and the following words are uppercaseed only if they are proper names or species names, but not the adjectives.
Correct examples: "Grand Boucage", "Cyclamen à fleur immaculée", "Cyclamen à feuille de Lierre" and "Cyclamen de Perse", etc.

Inconsistency in the use in species versus higher order taxa (at least for birds)
editOn the species level, there is usually many taxon common name (P1843) for many languages, which seem to reflect the labels in the different languages---see, e.g., Great Tit (Q25485). When you go to parent taxa, this seems to disappear---for example tit (Q168473), there is taxon common name (P1843) only for two languages. Should the label be reflected also for orders, families, ...? And if not, why is the situation different for species?
Strange property
editMany times it simply repeats label and aliases. --Infovarius (talk) 17:41, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
- And this is strange? Why, Infovarius? --Succu (talk) 20:46, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
- Because it is duplication. --Infovarius (talk) 18:35, 5 July 2016 (UTC)
- If taxon name (P225) repeats labels and/or aliases because taxon common name (P1843) is present this is not strange, Infovarius? --Succu (talk) 18:38, 5 July 2016 (UTC)
- taxon name (P225) has mostly single (or a few) values, it's standardized. This property can have hundreds/thousands of values, several per each language. Which are already at labels/aliases. --Infovarius (talk) 19:18, 5 July 2016 (UTC)
- So what? Having a source for labels/aliases (some of them are abstruse) is inconvenient? --Succu (talk) 19:32, 5 July 2016 (UTC)

- I do not appreciate and understand the "so what". It is duplication. The notion of sources of labels has been shot down in the past so this is that same discussion through the back-door. There is no point to them so imho this property is superfluous. Thanks, GerardM (talk) 12:08, 15 October 2017 (UTC)
Adding a case sensitivity constraint ?
editIs there any way to configure this so entries that simply use different case structures are not considered separate entries ? There is no reason why there should be separate entries for house sparrow, House Sparrow and House sparrow under EN language for example. CanadianCodhead (talk) 16:26, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
Searching for taxon_common_name using SPARQL and retaining the language
editI want to search for `taxon_common_name` using SPARQL. At present this returns a list of names but the language is not retained although it is given in brackets in the Wikidata display. How can we obtain the names and the language using the Wikidata SPARQL query service? Petermr (talk) 09:50, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
- @Tobias1984, Brya, Succu, Daniel Mietchen, Pigsonthewing: Any help appreciated. --89.206.112.11 14:59, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
- @Petermr: Use LANG(). --Succu (talk) 15:07, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
Common names are often stored as labels and not P1843
editI was looking lately at c:Module:Wikidata4Bio on Commons. I noticed that it gets Common names of organisms mostly by scanning for labels on Wikidata which are different than taxon name (P225) and not from P1843. For example that is the case of Q473939. I wonder if it would make sense to do some mass transfer of such common names from labels to P1843. Jarekt (talk) 15:11, 4 July 2025 (UTC)
