Template talk:Taxonomy/Tetrapoda

always_display
I've reverted this edit since historically we've not included this globally on all tetrapod taxoboxes. The change would affect every single mammal, bird, reptile, et cetera, and the change would have an effect on the visual output. Therefore, I'd say if the parameter is set to true for this particular minor rank taxon, it ought to be discussed first by all relevant WikiProjects.

Request for change of interwiki
Could someone please modify the mk interwiki to mk:Шаблон:Автотаксономија/Четириношци. Thanks a alot! --B. Jankuloski (talk) 11:58, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Done. Killiondude (talk) 05:50, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

Skip template
Linking the parent to teleosts seems odd and uninformative of the actual parent clades. Why not use a skip template to link it to a dummy version of Elpistostegalia, as here? This will allow the taxobox to display the correct parent without forcing all the fish supertaxa into tetrapod taxoboxes. Dinoguy2 (talk) 14:15, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

Suggested change
The taxobox for the Tetrapod article doesn't look right. I think it should go something like this:

Subphylum: Vertebrata

Infraphylum: Gnathostomata (jawed fishes / jawed vertebrates)

Superclass: Osteichthyes (bony fishes / bony vertebrates)

Class: Sarcopterygii (lobe-finned fishes / fleshy-limbed vertebrates)

Subclass: Rhipidistia (Dipnotetrapodomorpha)

Clade: Tetrapodomorpha

The first three (from top to bottom) should be familiar to most people. The last three are less familiar, but are the immediate supertaxons of Tetrapoda; in effect, stepping stones to the more familiar ones above. Zyxwv99 (talk) 01:05, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

I do not understand the format nor read the instructions on how to do so, so I did it like this I just want to add "Class = Reptilia" in the taxinomic account of Monitor Lizar — Preceding unsigned comment added by 112.198.83.214 (talk) 07:54, 5 September 2015 (UTC)

Edit request for change of parent
Could someone change the parent to Tetrapodomorpha? The current link to Teleostomi skips a half-dozen important branches. Thanks!— wing  gundam  18:37, 23 May 2017 (UTC)


 * As the classification hierarchy stands, this can't be done, because it would generate the sequence of ranks:
 * Superclass: Osteichthyes
 * Class: Sarcopterygii
 * Clade: Rhipidistia
 * Clade: Tetrapodomorpha
 * Superclass: Tetrapoda
 * i.e. a superclass with a class and another superclass above it. The underlying problem is that sourced systems used in different areas of the tree of life are not compatible with one another, so we have to make compromises to fit them together. Peter coxhead (talk) 07:48, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
 * I propose changing the parent for Sarcopterygii to Euteleostomi rather than Osteichthys in order to solve this issue. Fanboyphilosopher (talk) 02:42, 30 October 2018 (UTC)

Teleostomi is a polyphyletic group and therefore isn't valid Ankylodactylus27 (talk) 03:09, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Red question icon with gradient background.svg Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. It is probably better to post your thoughts at Talk:Teleostomi or Talk:Tetrapod. – Jonesey95 (talk) 16:03, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

I want to include "Stegocephali" Ruasonrac (talk) 14:20, 17 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the template.  P.I. Ellsworth &thinsp;,  ed.  put'er there 15:28, 17 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Stegocephalia had been included as the parent with back in 2018. It was then reverted back to Teleostomi in 2023 with the edit summary, "change creates inconsistent ranks: superclass has superclass as parent; needs more thought". Editor, you might try building a consensus at WT:WikiProject Tree of Life.  P.I. Ellsworth &thinsp;,  ed.  put'er there 15:40, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
