The list will grow, maybe we should organize it separately (How to reference particular item?)

We will need Contributors and Acknowledgements page

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.

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.
