Monotypy

[edit]

I find this page quite confusing with its adherence to the rules for monotypy: WP:TOL

The heading of the page is the GENUS, yet the text of the article, and the taxonbox, is about the SPECIES. However, the categories, the taxonbar, and the links to wikispecies refer to the GENUS.

There is a SPECIES page, however its main function is to redirect to the GENUS. That species page needs its own categories, a taxonbar, and links to wikispecies, yet all of those seem inappropriate on a page that is difficult to get to, and by its nature as a redirection pointer, readers are probably not supposed to get to.

Does anyone mind if I create two separate pages: one for the genus and one for the species? John Tann (talk) 19:08, 2 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

As noted in the deletion discussion at Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Austrosynthemis_cyanitincta, this article and its redirect is exactly in line with existing guidelines at WP:MONOTYPICFAUNA and WP:MONOTYPICFLORA, so should be left as it is. Peter coxhead (talk) 09:26, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
