I have written a Lua module Module:Science redirect, which can serve as a back-end for {{R from alternative scientific name}}, {{R to scientific name}}, {{R from scientific name}}, {{R to monotypic taxon}} and {{R from monotypic taxon}}. It supports generic, plant, fish, fungus, spider, crustacean, reptile, and insect redirects. I have already switched {{R from alternative scientific name}} over, but I wanted to wait a week or so to see if any problems arise with that template before switching any others over to the module. Let me know if there are any objections. --Ahecht (TALK

The grammar would be easier to glean, especially for non-native speakers, if we inserted "instead"; changing the tag from:

Use ({R from monotypic taxon}) when making a redirect from a monotypic taxon to its only member, for example, from a family name to its sole genus.

… into:

Use ({R from monotypic taxon}) instead, when making a redirect from a monotypic taxon to its only member, for example, from a family name to its sole genus.

… or into:

Instead use ({R from monotypic taxon}), when making a redirect from a monotypic taxon to its only member, for example, from a family name to its sole genus.
