Winkles and oysters alive, alive-o
Have been working on a couple of groups of molluscs. This all started because I was looking to see what species of culinary oysters exist, then discovered that the mulberry whelk, that I am so familiar with from the Sydney and Central Coasts, feeds on Sydney rock oysters. The article title for the whelk is Tenguella marginalba but the taxobox and references say Morula marginalba, and there is a page for King Tenguella but not for Tenguella (gastropod), so down the taxonomy rabbit-hole I went.

And now I find Central Coast (New South Wales) needs work, too.


 * Updated (but maybe still in progress): Morula (gastropod)
 * Created: Tenguella (gastropod)
 * Needs attention:
 * Muricodrupa article lists different species based on different authorities, and that's not even taking account of the recent reorganisation.
 * New genera 2019: Claremontiella, Lauta, …
 * Pacific oyster has been reclassified, but that's disputed. WoRMS is way too quick to change and show taxa as "accepted"; I'm starting to wonder if it's any better than a crowd-sourced site.
 * Wikidata and Wikispecies? Commons?
 * Category edible [somethings] was up for deletion. Fair enough, "edible" admits many definitions and is hard to pin down.  Do we have cat's for "culinary bivalves" and "culinary gastropods"?  Is there a better term?  What about Template:Edible molluscs?
 * Update: It was CfD edible bivalves, and it got deleted. Category:Edible molluscs still exists, but for how long?  It no longer has any subcategories. DexDor did suggest Category:Commercial molluscs as an alternative, but they didn't rename Category:Edible bivalves to Category:Commercial bivalves.
