URL change[edit]

The Global Invasive Species Database has moved. For example, for Zantedeschia aethiopica, the URL is now: http://www.iucngisd.org/gisd/speciesname/Zantedeschia+aethiopica not, as it once was,: http://www.issg.org/database/species/ecology.asp?si=1267&fr=1&sts=sss&lang=EN

For me, using the GISD template results in a connection time out. Maidenhair (talk) 13:17, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

On the Template:GISD page, selecting either of the "Results" given, causes a connection time-out, but I discovered the problem in the Maidenhair/sandbox. If I copy the URL used on the Template:GISD page, http://www.issg.org/database/species/ecology.asp?fr=1&si=1053, into the browser address bar the same thing happens. The following articles use the GISD template: Ammophila arenaria, Banana bunchy top virus, Carpobrotus edulis, Ficaria verna. All give a connection time-out whenever the template is invoked, it is not an intermittent problem. As I have written, I suspect that the URL used needs to be replaced with, e.g. http://www.iucngisd.org/gisd/speciesname/Ammophila+arenaria. I am using Firefox 119.0 (64-bit) under Linux Mint 21.2, but a similar thing happens on an Apple iPad, and a Samsung mobile phone.
