Interesting project, but first... why is English listed a dozen or two times as other language links? The links go to various related articles, but I can't see them in the code. Tokerboy

Seems there's some bug that makes 'en:' not go to English Wikipedia from here but piles up the links on top. Taking out the "en:" from each might work fine. But the bug should be fixed.
They automatically go to the English wikipedia, so I've removed them. Tokerboy

Is there an official list somewhere that divides the world into discrete and definable ecoregions, or is it just a consensus kinda thing? Tokerboy

Nope, there's an official list, and if you look at ecoregion and follow the links at the bottom to the World Wildlife Fund's Map (also publsihed in National Geogrpahic), you'll see they've pretty much nailed it down. 30 years of work... not likely it'll be obsoleted any time soon!
Interesting. I suppose the first step would be importing and wikifying the list. Should be at Gizhou Plateau broadleaf and mixed forests with a redirect from PA0101, I'm thinking.Tokerboy
Yup, makes sense. The short phrase can be used on maps with links, and we can worry about Latin and French and Chinese later... ;0
