I looked at Draft:Sinahahnia which is perfectly fine to be moved to mainspace, but I can't do it because once you go through the AfC process, only an approved reviewer can do it. Since you are obviously competent, my suggestion is that until you can move pages yourself, you create spider drafts at "User:Mediocre.marsupial/Draft/TAXON_NAME" and then leave a note at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Spiders, when someone like me can deal with it.

Re adding the spider genus Abba to the Orb-weaver spider page, there are two ways of dealing with spider genera that need disambiguation:

1. For a genus with multiple species, it will be at "GENUS (spider)", i.e. "Abba (spider)" in this case.
2. For a monotypic genus (i.e. with only one species) the article for the genus and species will be at the species name, i.e. "Abba transversa" in this case (see WP:MONOTYPICFAUNA). There will be a redirect at "Abba (spider)".

Do add yourself to Wikipedia:WikiProject Spiders/Members if you intend to work on spiders some more. I'm always happy to try to help if you leave me a message on my talk page. Peter coxhead (talk) 12:37, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

Hello, Thank you for checking over my draft. I’m not too sure what the AfC process is, but I will keep drafts saved using the path you suggested until I can move pages. It’s good to know how to deal with disambiguation in spider genera - I’ll make a draft for Abba transversa and link the species page directly once it’s done. I appreciate your help and kind words. I’ll definitely join that project to help with spiders a bit more.

Actually I've now created Abba transversa and the redirect Abba (spider) as well as Template:Taxonomy/Abba. It's slightly tricky to set things up for disambiguated monotypic genera, so you may want to look at these pages. Peter coxhead (talk) 13:02, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

Woah, that was fast! I’ll have a look through those pages now. I’ll try to learn by going through the monotypic genera I have yet to add and then work on disambiguating if I run into any other cases like that one. Abba transversa is a funny one because it is named after the Swedish band, creating the need to distinguish the two. Mediocre.marsupial (talk) 13:11, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

Note that there are two kinds of genus names needing disambiguation:

1. Only one of the identical names is a genus. In this case, the taxonomy template doesn't need disambiguation. So e.g. the spider genus Portia has to be at Portia (spider), but the taxonomy template can be at Template:Taxonomy/Portia.
2. Two of the identical names are genera. In this case, the taxonomy template may need disambiguation. I can't think of a spider example offhand, but Gaussia is both a plant and a crustacean genus, so we have Gaussia (crustacean) and Template:Taxonomy/Gaussia (crustacean).

Anyway, I see that you can create article now, which is great! Peter coxhead (talk) 15:49, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
