Plant Database (Q117750227), created and maintained by the Kwantlen Polytechnic University School of Horticulture (Q101009622), is a database on plant taxa, providing information names(s), taxonomy, identification, morphology, hardiness, sun and soil requirements, and location on the KPU Langley campus. Like other similar databases, this property will be useful for information about horticultural and other plants of British Columbia and beyond. AdamSeattle (talk) 02:14, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@AdamSeattle: The link https://plantdatabase.kpu.ca/plant/plantDetail/817 is already dead. Why?--Jackie Bensberg (talk) 19:55, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose@AdamSeattle, Infrastruktur, Jackie Bensberg, Clements.UWLib: Links seem to be broken; opossing until fixed. If that is fixed, I'll happily create it. TiagoLubiana (talk) 18:05, 11 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment It seems they aren't using anymore numerical identifiers (e.g., the new ID for Pinus contorta var. latifolia (Q24692850) should be pila). @AdamSeattle: Do you know if the current situation is some way stable? --Horcrux (talk) 08:47, 26 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- @TiagoLubiana, Horcrux: Their website doesn't say anything about the change from numerical identifiers to alphabetic identifiers, but I have changed all the examples above, the regex, and the formatter URL to match the current site. I have to assume that this is going to be the stable version of the database from here on. AdamSeattle (talk) 01:34, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
