User:Hyperik/Taxon categories

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Shared, or not, categories for major taxonomic groups.

Questions:

  • Where do articles about specific taxa get categorized? Directly to the main category ("Plants"), or in a subcategory, ("Plant taxa")?
  • Should it be articles or categories that are sorted by rank, e.g. should Taraxacum or Category:Taraxacum be categorized as Category:Plant genera?
Right now it's the former, but WP:Gastropods does the latter, at least for families: Category talk:Gastropod families
  • How finely should we diffuse rank categories? Plant genera? Asteraceae genera? Cichorieae genera? Prehistoric marine gastropod genera?
Same question for a lot of different types of taxon categories...
