SARSr-CoV → SARS-related coronavirus – This article was recently renamed (from a title different from what I am suggesting here). However, I suggest that this proposed name would be more WP:RECOGNIZEable for most readers. I suggested this title in April 2020, but at the time the consensus was to not abbreviate SARS. In the more recent discussion, the abbreviation of SARS was agreed, so that objection has since been overturned. I suggest that the name is now overly abbreviated to the point of making it difficult for people to understand what the topic is. I doubt that most readers understand what this fully abbreviated name means. I also made this suggestion in the recent discussion, but no one responded to the suggestion during that discussion. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 19:14, 9 July 2022 (UTC)

• Convenience link to the previous move discussion last month (which was a bundled nomination affecting four pages) —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 07:33, 10 July 2022 (UTC)
• Support – In the previous move discussion I said I was unsure between the titles "Severe acute respiratory syndrome–related coronavirus" and "SARSr-CoV". I think the proposed title is clearer than either of those. For non-specialist readers, the current title is too easily confused with SARS-CoV-1. —Mx.

Infobox weirdness

This article is about the sub-genus sarbecovirus (a name that is a portmanteau of SARS-related betacoronavirus) and yet the infobox implies it is about a species called "Severe acute respiratory syndrome–related coronavirus" which it says is just one species of the sub-genus sarbecovirus.

The info box is a template Template:Taxonomy/Sarbecovirus which is an automated taxobox, something I am not familiar with.

Anyone know what is going on and how to sort it?

OK. I've fixed it. The key is to edit the input parameters to the template as per usual, not click on the little edit button on the template! Yaris678 (talk) 14:17, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
