Uncertain classification

There may be a better way of listing the taxa, both in the list and in the table, to indicate where the classification is uncertain. I was thinking about having two tables, one with just one entry for the Rainbow Lorikeet species complex and another for the Rainbow Lorikeet to include all the taxa where there is confusion above if they are a separate species or a subspecies.

No harm in trying it out and seeing how it looks. Maias (talk) 04:05, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have amended it and two tables seems easier to understand. I have added an incomplete template, because it is more complicated, as some of the species/subspecies in the lower table are polytypic. Snowman (talk) 19:48, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
