The page at present has only content from one website, in the form of a list of plant names by growing cycle. Only two items have pages in the Simple WP, the rest appear as red links. Possibly some exist here as pages with different names, e.g. their Latin name or by variety. The other problem is that its Wikidata item was created by a bot and is essentially empty of properties, etc. I don't find a similar page in another WP language project. I'm alerting the page creator for further action. -- Deborahjay (talk) 19:46, 25 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

After reading your comments, I followed up thus:
For further improvement:
  • the page content could do with rearranging the topic headings hierarchically
  • finding page names (if any) for the red links
I'll add some more comments on page development under separate topic headings. -- Deborahjay (talk) 13:07, 2 January 2020 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for locating en:Shade tolerance , and for updating the items at Wikidata and en-wiki. It has opened up a lot of possible avenues for improving this article on Simple.
In regards to finding page names for the red links, that is not going to be a simple task since Simple does not have a lot of articles covering specific plants. I tried to add trees to our list using en:List of tree species by shade tolerance but found only three trees (two of them redirects) with articles on Simple:

This page is now connected to the Wikidata item and interwiki linked to en:Shade tolerance in the main English WP. That term seems more encyclopedic in tone than the present "shade-loving" used here. I suggest renaming the page (via Move) "Shade-tolerant plants". Discussion? -- Deborahjay (talk) 19:34, 2 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

en:Shade tolerance#Trees makes a distinction between shade-tolerant plants and shade-loving plants. The Sugar maple is used as an example of a shade-tolerant tree whereas the Eastern hemlock is a shade-loving tree.
