@rook Create a simple project with data from clipboard, like

ID,taxon
120,Cedrus atlantica
121,Cedrus deodara
122,Cedrus libani
123,Larix decidua
124,Picea omorika
125,Pinus cembra

Then in "taxon" column from the drop-down menu choose Reconcile>Start reconciling...
Select service (any of the two links above)
Normally, there would be something in "Reconcile each cell to an entity of one of these types:", like "Taxon".
"Start reconciling..."
That should return some matches (you'd see blue links to wikidata items in that column).

@Ponor I've rolled back the version of OpenRefine to 3.7.9 and it seems to be working as expected, could you restart your container and verify that it is working for you again?

I'm guessing this would be a bug with the Wikimedia Commons plugin not working with OpenRefine 3.8.0, does that seem right to you?

3.7.9 working as expected. Thanks!

@rook Hm... I'm a casual user and I can only guess what's happening behind the scenes. WikiDATA plugin?

Looks like it is being covered in https://github.com/OpenRefine/OpenRefine/issues/6581

Also https://github.com/OpenRefine/OpenRefine/issues/6580 I'm guessing

https://github.com/OpenRefine/CommonsExtension/issues/101 is closed and seems to fix the issue. When a new release is made we can try this with an updated plugin.

There is now a release for CommonsExtension that works with OpenRefine 3.8: https://github.com/OpenRefine/CommonsExtension/releases/tag/v0.1.2.
