Motivation
editNextstrain (https://nextstrain.org/) is a system for promoting the rapid sharing of virus data, including for influenza and SARS-CoV-2 viruses. It assigns identifiers for individual virus clades. It is complementary to systems such as PANGOLIN and GISAID. -- The Anome (talk) 10:02, 27 November 2021 (UTC)
Discussion
editWikiProject Taxonomy has more than 50 participants and couldn't be pinged. Please post on the WikiProject's talk page instead. This would be very useful right now, as tracking SARS-Cov-2 variants is a live subject right now; this can also be extended to tracking other infectious virus clades, per the Nextstrain mission statement. -- The Anome (talk) 10:02, 27 November 2021 (UTC)
Notified participants of WikiProject Medicine Since no-one in the Taxonomy group has yet commented here, I thought I'd bring this to the attention of the Medicine WikiProject. Any comments very welcome. -- The Anome (talk) 00:22, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
- I think it's better use an external identifier with this formatter URL: https://nextstrain.org/groups/neherlab/ncov/21I.Delta Germartin1 (talk) 23:08, 3 December 2021 (UTC)
Weak oppose From the examples it seems the property currently only includes the last part of groups/neherlab/ncov/21I.Delta
, so it seems specific to something called "neherlab" and COVID-19, not a general property for viruses. --Haansn08 (talk) 02:31, 13 December 2021 (UTC)

Comment as property creator: @The Anome, Haansn08, TiagoLubiana: no activity for almost a year on this page. What should we do? if there is still no activity nor consensus, this property will ultimately be declined. Cheers, VIGNERON (talk) 08:52, 4 September 2022 (UTC)
I think we need an official policy on property proposal deprecation; e.g. no activity after 6 months it goes to backlog and can be reproposed if still needed (and discussion started from scratch with a link to the archived old discussion). The same could happen if, e.g. 1 year has passed and no consesus was reached. For this one, I think it should be archived and reproposed if needed. TiagoLubiana (talk) 14:03, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
- @The Anome:, for now I mark Not done, re propose if you needed. Regards, ZI Jony (Talk) 18:44, 1 June 2023 (UTC)
