Title

Shouldn't the title of this article be List of fictional Musteloids in animation ? This is since it includes skunks and racoons, which aren't members of the family Mustelidae, but members of the super family Musteloidea ; specifically, racoons are members of the family Procyonidae and skunks are members of the Mephitidae. I think the capitalization of the family name is also more correct in the suggested correction. Graham.Fountain | Talk 15:35, 29 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Raccoons (procyonids), skunks (mephitids) and red pandas (ailurids) are not mustelids. This article referenences the superfamily musteloidea, which is collectively referred to as musteloids. The term mustelid refers ONLY to the mustelidae, that is, weasels, otters, martens, ferrets, badgers, etc. So, this article can be "List of fictional mustelids" and include only animals in the family mustelidae, or it should be "List of fictional musteloids" if there is a desire to keep the species on the list as it is.

Soo, now that the page is called "list of fictional musteloids in animation", can the skunk section be restored? --fiberglassdolphin 08:22, 12 May 2021 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fiberglassdolphin (talk • contribs)

Categorization

I wanted to ask if stoats/ermines should be categorized under the weasel section of this page or under other. Asking because they are also categorized as short tailed weasels and some characters listed under weasels have characteristics that imply they are stoats/ermines (Wilma) but may not be described as such. I had added Hermione, a stoat, under this category so I wanted to ask in case she should be moved over Pestthebest (talk) 20:02, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
