Wrong Data
I think the info in the article is WRONG. Alcedinidae, Brachypteraciidae, Cerylidae, Coraciidae, Halcyonidae, Meropidae, Momotidae, Phoeniculidae, Todidae, Upupidae families belong to order Coraciae not Coraciiformes. Coraciiformes is an order which includes suborders Striges, Caprimulgi, Cypseli, Colii, Trogones, Piciformes and this article Coraciae.

 * All those links cite sources that are over 80 years old! Taxonomy has moved on slightly since then. Sabine's Sunbird  talk  02:48, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
 * In fact, my initial source was Dictionary of Biology Terms, 1998 published by Turkish Language Association. For a source in English language, they were the first ones I got in google. You mean there is no order as "Coraciae" anymore? I do not think so.Obuli (talk) 03:00, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
 * "Coraciae" existed in 80s Sibley-Ahlquist_taxonomy but it seems it is still present Obuli (talk) 03:12, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

All avian orders end in -formes (Procellariiformes, Sphenisciformes, Anseriformes. The first one you cited just now  has Coraciae as a Parvclass, not order, of which Coraciiformes is one of the constituent orders (one of many) . Given the great deal of uncertainty that remains about the arrangement of the various families and order with relation to each other, and the fact that things like Parvclass and superorders are seldom used compared to orders and families (we don't have articles on most of them) this article should stay where it is for now.

Rerated as C
I rerated as C (was tossing up between C and Start). Covers evolution likely, but needs info on ecology/characteristics etc. Casliber (talk · contribs) 06:23, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

Automatic taxobox shows Passerimorphae as parent taxon
The Template:Taxonomy/Coraciiformes page which drives the Template:Automatic_taxobox uses a taxonomy that directly contradicts the taxonomy in the article by placing Coraciiformes in Passerimorphae. As far as I can see the taxonomy in the article is more current. I've understood the technical details now, and know technically what to do to correct it, but am at a loss how the taxonomy behind the automatic taxoboxes is meant to be maintained. I haven't found anything documented. Should I correct Template:Taxonomy/Coraciiformes as I see fit whenever I stumble over a contradiction to the article? Should I worry about keeping things consistent, and also correct all the other Template:Taxonomy/stuff that use the same out-of-date source? Or should I not worry at all, and leave the Template:Taxonomy to some deep experts which will correct things as they see fit? Stupid girl (talk) 13:43, 19 December 2014 (UTC)
