@ Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Tree of Life#"List of mammal species" article.   ~ Tom.Reding (talkdgaf)  15:05, 24 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]


Either way Cloud forest, you need to use a bulleted list format   User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk  15:14, 25 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
This sort of pointless list, of enormous size and basically no encyclopedic purpose, and of course no citations, is exactly what Wikipedia does not need. Chiswick Chap (talk) 15:42, 25 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It pretend to be printable version for field workers.Cloud forest (talk) 15:49, 25 September 2018 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cloud forest (talkcontribs) 15:48, 25 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
...which is fine and dandy for Wikiversity, but here we are playing "Encyclopedia", dude - not Useful Document Repository. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 16:26, 25 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Also, I wonder what kind of field worker you envision who needs a full alphabetical list of all mammal species w/o any further information. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 16:28, 25 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I have begun to work on this article, and I would like to note that there are articles with lists that are much longer than this. Leo1pard (talk) 16:51, 25 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Co-work.

[edit]

Thank you.

An appreciation: the blue "Contents" box reflects in best way what a list is. Narky Blert in that way you are editing it would reflect the generas not the species.
List are numerical or alphabetical, other form of presentation is a table (to consider). Cloud forest (talk) 18:58, 25 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
As someone who wrote List of parrots, I can tell you, from the amount of things you need in your list, do not attempt a table. At this size, a bulleted-list format is the way you need to go if you wanna make it readable to the extent possible   User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk  17:49, 28 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Anchors are very appropriate Cloud forest (talk) 18:08, 28 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
List of mammal species/navigation is a rehash of List of mammal genera and is not the answer to the navigation problem   User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk  19:18, 28 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
You can type Control F in your computer to find Cloud forest (talk) 21:45, 28 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
How is that different from List of mammal genera? And how exactly does that separate article help with navigation?   User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk  22:24, 28 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It is a printable version and it is not hierarchicalCloud forest (talk) 22:33, 28 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Cramming them all together makes it very unreadable especially if you're planning on printing it out   User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk  22:37, 28 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Not to mention that it’s trying to use Wikipedia to violate WP:NOTDIR policy. Kingofaces43 (talk) 13:34, 29 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is requesting a picture, Dromiciops gliroides "Monito del monte" is representative. One species makes a complete order Cloud forest (talk) 18:31, 28 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I don’t think you understand the purpose of these talk pages. Dab solver is indeed a tool and, as said on the article, one this article very much needs. This is not new information   User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk  21:36, 29 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Why what?   User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk  02:03, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
For "why" turn to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of mammal species. Please do not tell me you have managed to remain oblivious of that discussion all through the last week. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 06:08, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
