'''Introduction'''

This page will direct an xBio:D user on the procedures to follow in order to add a new obsolete species name or another obsolete name at a different rank into the xBio:D database. Only users with taxonomic permissions and possess the taxonomic authority upon a certain group are able to manage taxonomies, so if you would like to contribute to the xBio:D taxonomic resources, please contact [mailto:hol-help@osu.edu hol-help@osu.edu] and request permission.

''NOTE'': Please understand the [[xBio:D Taxonomic Data Model]] before using any of the taxonomic features of the [http://osuc-mgr.osu.edu Database Manager].

== Check for Existing Species ==
Before adding an obsolete combination to a species or taxon at any rank, it is necessary that the species concept already exist within the xBio:D database. All taxa are available through [http://hol.osu.edu HOL], which will also list obsolete combinations for species, common names, as well as subjective synonomies of other species, and can easily be discovered via search. A species concept can have only one valid name associated with it and is considered the ''current combination''. All other names that are also part of the concept are considered to be ''obsolete combinations''. Any new species concepts added to the xBio:D database should also include the ''original combination'' (also known as a protonym or basionym), the species names used when first described and made available (see [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Available_name Wikipedia] for basic definition of what an available name is). A common/vernacular name, although ''unavailable'' and unable to be considered valid according to nomenclatural codes, is also treated as an ''obsolete combination'' but is clearly marked as a common name in much the same way a misspelling of a species name is unavailable and never valid. If a species combination is not found, go to [[DB Manager :: Add new species]] or [[DB Manager :: Add subjectively synonymous species]] for directions on how to proceed. Only after a species concept has been confirmed to already exist should a new, obsolete species name be added.
