•  Support This is a great resource for articles that can be difficult to digitally access. Having this identifier will ensure these articles are more easily linked to and also more discoverable. Ambrosia10 (talk) 21:00, 9 December 2023 (UTC)
•  Support Agree that this is a useful identifier - I've struggled to locate some BUGZ articles in the past, and its such a useful resource for literature on NZ invertebrates. DrThneed (talk)

• @David Nind, Ambrosia10, DrThneed, Einebillion, MargaretRDonald:  Done as BUGZ ID (P12224). AdamSeattle (talk) 07:32, 17 December 2023 (UTC)

@AdamSeattle: Thank you. But it is not yet working as a link. MargaretRDonald (talk) 19:48, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

@MargaretRDonald: The links don't work immediately. It takes anywhere from several hours to a full day for the links to work. They are working now. Once the links start working, you can choose "Purge" in the pulldown menu labeled "More" and purging an item will cause any links that aren't active to become active.

Thanks @AdamSeattle:. I didn't realise that. MargaretRDonald (talk) 22:59, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
