The only problem I can see with this policy (which is
that in titles the
proper name in English of a species is capitalized) is that links from text, to
link directly, would have to also be capitalized in that text. This is
contrary to the usual usage, as species names are not proper nouns and ought not
to be capitalized in text.

If you look at the majority of the fauna articles, the text links are there,
or potentially there if a link has not been made. Try [[hummingbird]] or
[[whale]] for example. One practical problem with reverting from the current policy
is that literally thousands of text changes would have to be made (with the
additional problem that some would still be partially capitalised, eg Wilson's
Phalarope, because of the proper name.
hope this helps
