For anyone reading along without a background in biology (disclaimer: I know little about the specifics of palaeontology), I guess the situation is like the following … One group of scientists think/thought that the group of fossil specimens known as
Zhoukou wolf represents a subspecies of the broad

Items on
Wikidata are supposed to be permanent concepts, but their meanings can drift over time and can differ between languages. One way to achieve more stability would be to have items for "Mosbach wolf" and "Zhoukoudian wolf" as distinct concepts, plus linked items for the different taxon names
423:
To the more general question of how do you move an item on
Wikidata, the answer is "you don't", and you don't need to do a move to effect a rename. Q20720126 will always be Q20720126, and its label can be renamed without a move. I see you have discovered this, and SCIdude made some other changes

First, let me say that standing practice at
Wikidata doesn't distinguish between nomina and taxa. Nor does it deal well with different taxonomic concepts that share the same name but have different circumscription. For example, you're unlikely to find separate items for

Sorry this may be off topic, but even as an experienced editor I sometimes find
Wikidata hard to understand. I don't know whether they even have a help desk and didn't want to waste too much time trying to find it. So my question here: How do I "move"
336:
A wp:space "Intro for
Knowledge editors to wikidata" that covered things like this, how to nominate a wikidata thing for deletion, and so on would be useful. Unless, of course, one already exists and I just can't find it.

Even though species items have the statement "instance of taxon", they are arguably "instance of scientific name", because when a species gets moved to a new genus, Wikidata (rightly or wrongly) retains items for both
