Merge Family Anatidae with Order Anseriformes?[edit]

Anatidae is a family IN order anseriformes

Proposed Merger[edit]

As discussed at Talk:Anseriformes, Waterfowl is the common name for Anatidae. Currently "waterbirds" redirects to Anatidae, but the term "waterbirds" is actually much broader in normal usage, and should be broken out rather than redirect there. However, Waterfowl is normally generally synonymous with the Order Anatidae, so the two articles should merge to the common term. I will remove references to "waterbirds" in the article. Due to the the incorrect redirect for "waterbirds" double-redirects will probably be many, but we have to deal with that if we're going to make things right.--Doug.^{(talk • contribs)} 01:57, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Best to keep all the discussion at Talk:Anseriformes rather than repeat here Jimfbleak 12:15, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That's fine. --Doug.^{(talk • contribs)} 01:25, 17 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
