Exclusion of the Coelophysoidea from the Ceratosauria
The Coelophysoidea has been found to sit outside of the Ceratosauria, according to recent studies. This means that the coelophysoids are no longer considered ceratosaurs.
 * Yes, that is why they are not listed in this article ;) Dinoguy2 14:19, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Ceratodairid
the term ceratosaurid redirects here. shouldn't it go to ceratosauridae with ceratosaur redirecting to this article? Ryan shell 01:01, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, will fix this. Dinoguy2 01:47, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Late Triassic?
Today an IP changed the fossil range of the clade to beginning in the LT. J changed it back to Jurassic. Our current article states that Lukousaurus, from the LT/EJ is potentially a Ceratosaurian. I think the IP was trying to add some consistency between the articles. Firsfron of Ronchester 20:22, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Had a look at Lukou, tweaked the age/formation per Dinosauria II. J. Spencer (talk) 20:36, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Yup. More consistent. :) Firsfron of Ronchester  20:39, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Neoceratosauria
Neoceratosauria redirects to Ceratosauria. Why? Is Neoceratosauria an unranked division or superfamily? What's the deal? -- Myrddin_Wyllt 6/26/11 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.64.188.9 (talk) 17:14, 26 June 2011 (UTC)


 * It's a disused name, see here. Mikenorton (talk) 18:54, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Neoceratosauria is defined as the group containing both ceratosaurids and abelisaurids. So it's a sub-group of Ceratosauria. I added it to the classification. MMartyniuk (talk) 20:03, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm very prepared to admit that this is an area I don't know much about, but why does the Paleobiology database show it as disused? Mikenorton (talk) 19:43, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Dunno, possibly because it's original intent was to distincguish "true" ceratosaurs from coelophysoids, which are no longer considered ceratosaurs. But as the clade was given a definition it's still "good" and not redundant with anything else. A google scholar search shows the term is still in current use in the literature by at least some authors. MMartyniuk (talk) 23:08, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
 * OK, thanks. Mikenorton (talk) 23:15, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

Bahariasauridae needs its own article
For some reason Bahariasauridae redirects to Bahariasaurus. Shouldn't it be its own page with links to both Bahariasaurus and Deltadromeous?

We know that Bahariasaurus isn't the only Bahariasaurid. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.242.105.47 (talk) 07:27, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
 * We don't know that. I'm not aware of any official source that has recovered both in the same family or clade exclusive of other ceratosaurs. It's likely that these two are synonyms though, in which case the clade would still be monotypic. MMartyniuk (talk) 11:57, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

Cladogram Format
What exactly is going on with the first two cladograms there? Can't say I've seen anything else like it, and for good reason. Likely needs replacing with the standard template, not to mention the references being fixed instead of awkwardly floating afterwards.  Luso titan  00:35, 30 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Yeah there are many pages that need updated cladograms (WP:TREEREQ could get a list of those ;)). I'll get to it. IJReid  discuss 19:29, 1 October 2017 (UTC)

Notice of Merge Proposal
Support: The merge proposals for Ceratosauridae and Abelisauroidea are part of the larger effort to clean up dinosaur taxonomy on wikipedia. More discussion can be found at WT:DINO. These merges are proposed on the same grounds as the merges into the pages for Tetanurae, Maniraptora, and Neornithischia. A Cynical Idealist (talk) 22:15, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
