  Hybrids are not the only use for this imo. I have people who can change species or have multiple bodies (not all the same species), I also have people who were born one species but mutated into something else and being able to keep track of what they were before the change like this would be neat.

  While I do not personally have a use for this, I can definitely see the issue if you have let's say 20 species and everything can mix with everything. That would be a lot of species articles. I'd appreciate making it a multi link instead of a simple box tho.

  Idea: How about we just make the box a write-in box where people can @ link to whatever articles they want? I think being given an open box to decide how to deal with it on an individual basis would be nice for those who don't want to create their own setup outside of the template.

  Hybrids should be classified as a separate species, in literary terms if not in scientific terms.

  Stars, this would be extremely useful to me - I have a lot of species, a lot of mixes, and quite a few characters who're something other than half/half something. I have characters who're, like, one fourth elf, one fourth dwarf, and then half human, or characters who're like, one sixteenth dragon, seven parts elf, and six parts human.   I also have those who're 'fusions' - people who're species mixes artificially through magic ritual.   This makes it so that I have to create a huge amount of articles for various combinations, some of which are very obscure or even unique combinations.   I do *not* have a typical fantasy setting - for instance, elves and humans are, in my setting, officially different species, to a pretty significant extent (elves are felines, and humans are most certainly not). Elves can breed with humans because of divine influence and magic.   In my world, using magic, it's possible to breed, for instance, wolves with lions. As such, unless I go about making species be 'body plan types' ('humanoid,' 'animal,' etc., like D&D, which I am actually actively trying to move away from), I'm currently at a bit of a quandary.

  I like this idea. My current WIP has characters of multiple species and ethnicities, but I can only include the multi's for one category but not the other.

  This was rejected in the past, because of subjective opinion. However, creating an extra species for every possible racial makeup is also tedious and in a lot of cases, completely unnecessary and creates a lot of articles just for the sake of linking it to a character. For a solution, I think it would be better to create a race or ancestry template that could be linked to a species.   In terms of a fantasy setting - elves and humans are technically the same type of species: Humanoid. They are just different races. So if you could create a "Humanoid" species and then link "Elf", "Human", "Halfling" etc. as races, this would solve the problem. You can keep the limitation for one species, but create a "Race" or "Ancestry" link with multiple selections. This way you could also more easily create subraces like High Elves and link them properly to a character.

  Echoing that hybrids are commonly not a new species. To use another Star Trek example, Spock is half Vulcan and half human. He and other people of the same mixed background are not considered a new species at all. He may identify as Vulcan, but the fact is he has biologic traits of Vulcans and humans. A blend, not a new thing in itself. Same with mules and ligers, like have already been said.

  This is something I have wished I could do on more than one occasion. I understand that it would technically create a whole new species, but I feel there are worldbuilding scenarios it is applicable. For example, Ba'el from ST:TNG is half Klingon half Romulan, rather than defining her and the related characters as a unique species, both sides are acknowledged. Having grown up with that thought process from ST and other series, I do often wish I could add more than one species to a character.

  I agree, hybrids are NOT a species in their own right, they are a mix of species. Hybrids being called by their own name- mules or ligers, for example- is so we don't have to keep calling them "donkey-horses" or "lion-tigers."

  Hybrids are not necessarily species. (A mule is not considered a species, as mules are infertile: https://www.nagwa.com/en/videos/810141716124/)   Some hybrids even have more than two species in their lineage. For those authors who want to be as scientifically precise as possible, it would be handy to have the option to show two or more species.

  A single character will be a single spiecies, the species can be a chimera or a melding but at the point that the new character/creature is born it is a new species.   A half elf is not Elf AND Human, it's an Elf, a species with two different speceis as parents but unique on its own.   Is like calling a Mule a Donkey-Horse :P
