=== Algae ===

The distinction between taxonomic and technical use of the term "algae" is genuinely important for this wiki — legally, EU legislation sometimes uses "algae" in a strictly taxonomic sense (excluding cyanobacteria, which are bacteria) and sometimes in the broader functional/commercial sense. This explicit distinction saves some confusion throughout.

=== Nomenclature ===

The nomenclature history of Spirulina / Arthrospira / Limnospira is a good example of exactly the kind of practical note this wiki should carry. The current accepted scientific name is Limnospira platensis (for the main cultivated species), but:

EU legislation and EFSA opinions written before the reclassification use Arthrospira platensis.
The novel food catalogue and most commercial labelling still use Spirulina as a common/trade name
Spirulina is (now) technically a different genus of cyanobacteria (filamentous, found in alkaline lakes) that is not used commercially (was it ever?).

This creates a real practical issue when searching EUR-Lex or the novel food catalogue, and is worth flagging explicitly in the organisms section. We should mention all three names with a brief note on the historical sequence and advise readers searching databases to use all three as search terms.

Maybe we should add a page on this topic as an example.
