Universal Pepper Nomenclature
One code for one pepper, no matter what people call it. Universal Pepper Nomenclature sits behind the names people use and describes the pepper itself: the species, the color it ripens to, its skin, the shape of the pod, and how hot it runs. The last three digits tell apart peppers that match on all of that.
Six parts, always in this order, always split by hyphens. The WikiPepper Foundation board issues every code. Editors cannot create or edit a code.
