Relaunch "found in taxon"[edit]
After some time passed, I am trying again to advocate for the addition of a "found in taxon" line based on Wikidata as already mentioned here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:Chembox/Archive_13#Add_%22Found_in_taxon%22-list_(proposal)
My lua skills for implementation did not improve since then but woth asking again if of any interest? AdrianoRutz (talk) 19:19, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
Clean up Template:Chembox Identifiers[edit]
On the page of {{Chembox Identifiers}}, prior to the template documentation there is a broken string: "! colspan=2 style="background: #f8eaba; text-align: center;" |Identifiers
|- "
Might want to remove that as it appears like broken infobox text. Thanks, -- Classicwiki (talk) If you reply here, please ping me. 06:31, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

Dark mode optimization[edit]
On Inverted sugar syrup, ImageFileL1 and ImageFileR1 images probably will need mw-invert like this, however if the files aren't always black and white, probably some other approach is needed (cc: User:Jdlrobson) −ebrahimtalk 19:09, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
- I fixed this some time ago. Use ImageClassL1 and ImageClassR1. Snowmanonahoe (talk · contribs · typos) 19:32, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
- I've been considering trying to apply it to chemistry articles wholesale somehow. I wonder how one would go about analyzing an SVG to determine whether or not the only existing colors are black and/or transparent. Snowmanonahoe (talk · contribs · typos) 19:35, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
