Articles to be created

 * User:Pengo/ants, ants ranked by commonness in publications
 * See List of ant genera for redlink genera
 * Winkler extraction
 * Ant navigation
 * Ant parasites
 * Ant anatomy
 * Trap-jaw ant - Currently a redirect to Odontomachus only; Perrichot et al (2016) notes the Haidomyrmecini, Anochetus, and Acanthognathus as all being "trap-jaw ants.
 * Lioponera, Chrysapace, Eusphinctus, Ooceraea, Parasyscia, Syscia, Yunodorylus, Zasphinctus, Fulakora

Articles in need of updating

 * Update the (mostly tribal) taxonomy of the myrmicines per
 * Dorylinae - Talk:Dorylinae
 * Apomyrminae/Apomyrma - revived subfamily
 * Solenopsis molesta - could use a clean up and more information and sources.
 * Camponotus castaneus - No longer a stub, needs to be reviewed.
 * Overbeckia
 * Iberoformica and Iberoformica subrufa - inconsistent, likely need a merger.

Synonyms or misspellings

 * Leptothorax recedens --> Temnothorax recedens
 * Leptothorax minutissimus --> Temnothorax minutissimus
 * Leptothorax duloticus --> Temnothorax duloticus
 * Aphaenogaster bidentatus (misspelled?)
 * Myrmoxenus --> Temnothorax not fully accepted, notes added
 * Pheidologeton diversus --> Carebara diversa (merge needed)
 * Pseudomyrmex ferruginea --> Pseudomyrmex ferrugineus??
 * Lasius murphii --> Lasius murphyi ??
 * Messor pergandei --> Veromessor pergandei
 * Pheidologeton diversus --> Carebara diversa (Carebara is a more accepted name for this genus, and the species' name diversa is also more accepted but the page Pheidologeton diversus has more details on the species than the article Carebara diversa has, so if some contents were to be deleted during merger, I suggest that the contents on the article Pheidologeton diversus] to be kept.)

Species lists in need of updating

 * Feel free to link articles containing out-of-date species lists here. See also aw-taxa (script for generating lists of genera/species from AntWeb's catalog).

Other tasks

 * Cleanup listing for WikiProject Insects/ant task force

Tasks by subfamily

 * 1) Create articles on all genera
 * 2) Create articles on all extant species
 * 3) Add species lists to all extant genera
 * 4) All articles: Add references or tag unreferenced paragraphs with cn. Articles should contain 100% referenced/tagged content.
 * 5) Expand subfamily article to at least start class.


 * Add diversity parameters to the infobox of all non-monotypic extant genera (see Adetomyrma for an example): Myrmicinae
 * Add at least one inline non-database reference (i.e. not AntCat/AntWeb/AntBase/EOL) to all extant genera: Myrmicinae

Proposed categories

 * Category:Lists of ants subcategories: by location, species by genus
 * Category:Ants by ecozone? Category:Ants by continent? (see Category:Fauna by ecozone, Category:Fauna by continent)
 * Category:Parasitic ants and Category:Parasites of ants? (see Category:Parasitic insects and Category:Parasites of insects)
