Heads up: Some or all of the identifications affected by
this split may have been replaced with identifications of Lanius. This
happens when we can't automatically assign an identification to one of the
output taxa.
Review identifications of Lanius meridionalis 144727
This is a retroactive split - Lanius excubitor was added when it should have been split off from Lanius meridionalis. We are now splitting Lanius meridionalis after the fact to sort out existing identifications of Lanius meridionalis that now apply to Lanius excubitor

Clements swapped most subspecies from L. meridionalis to an expanded L. excubitor. This split should be ready to commit as have atlased both taxa and uploaded new IUCN range maps. @loarie@maxkirsch
Unintended disagreements occur when a parent (B) is
thinned by swapping a child (E) to another part of the
taxonomic tree, resulting in existing IDs of the parent being interpreted
as disagreements with existing IDs of the swapped child.
Identification
ID 2 of taxon E will be an unintended disagreement with ID 1 of taxon B after the taxon swap
If thinning a parent results in more than 10 unintended disagreements, you
should split the parent after swapping the child to replace existing IDs
of the parent (B) with IDs that don't disagree.
