Branisella[edit]

This extinct genus is included in Category:New World monkeys as "†Branisella", which means that it gets indexed in the category under "†". This seems odd to me, and I was going to change it, but it occurred to me that this might be intentional, so I thought this would be a good place to ask. I observe that Noropithecus is not indexed that way in Category:Old World monkeys

Pan-Primates[edit]

The redirect Pan-Primates has been nominated at RfD, and the discussion would benefit from input from those with knowledge of the subject area. Please comment at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2023 November 25#Pan-Primates. Thryduulf (talk) 13:19, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The Primatomorpha and Plesiadapiformes articles need attention. The taxobox at Primatomorpha effectively treats Pan-Primates as a synonym of a redefined Plesiadapiformes including the crown group. The Plesiadapiformes article starts by describing them as an extinct basal pan-Primates group, sister to the rest of Pan-Primates, but then has cladograms treating it as synonym of Pan-Primates or Primatomorpha, including all the stem taxa and the crown group. Has the traditional treatment defined Plesiadapiformes a distinct group of stem taxa (are there others?) or a paraphalytic grade excluding the crown? And has it been formally recircumscribed to include the crown? — Jts1882 | talk 10:25, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Does the term "chimpanzee" include the bonobo?[edit]

Is it correct to say, as was stated here, that "Chimpanzee is the generic term for both species" (P. troglodytes and P. paniscus)? --Lambiam 18:58, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

See Talk:Pan_(genus)#Requested_move_6_January_2019 and Talk:Chimpanzee/Archive_1#Requested_move_22_January_2019. Bonobos used to be called "pygmy chimpanzees", but that has fallen out of favor. Wikipedia once had the article about the genus Pan at the title "Chimpanzee", but now that title is used for the article that was titled "Common chimpanzee". Plantdrew (talk) 20:13, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

So does this mean the statement is incorrect (and the edit reversal was therefore unjustified)? --Lambiam 23:35, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
