[edit]

Note this diff: [1]. I don't have time to fix it right now, but Degeneria should be a disambiguation page for the plant and animal genus. Although Degeneriaceae is monotypic, it seems like the article should be titled by the family name (since Degeneria is ambiguous). Plantdrew (talk) 07:31, 29 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

@Plantdrew: I understand the logic of this (old) comment, but there's still no article at Degeneria (helminth) (the redlink at Gorgoderidae) so I think it's ok to have an article at "Degeneria" and another (eventually) at "Degeneria (helminth)" with hatnotes to disambiguate.

@Plantdrew and Peter coxhead: I substituted the link Degeneria (helminth) by Degeneria (trematode), because "helminth" is unique and ambigious. We have two same disambiguator terms (Rostellum (helminth) and Tegument (helminth)), but these are probably also bad and ambigious--Estopedist1 (talk) 17:06, 25 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Estopedist1: there some 182 disambiguated articles pertaining to animal anatomy, as well as disambiguated plant anatomy/morphology terms, terms pertaining to physiology or behavior. Dab terms in these areas could probably go through some standardization, but I think that should a separate thing from sorting out dab terms for genera (there's also an issue of systematic bias where articles on anatomical terms applicable to all vertebrates or mammals focus almost exclusively on humans).

@Plantdrew and Peter coxhead: I did article for the monotypic Degeneria (trematode). I suggest this solution: DAB for Degeneria with the content
Degeneria may refer to:
* Degeneria, a monotypic genus of trematodes in the family Gorgoderidae with the only species Degeneria halosauri
* Degeneria, genus of plants, only genus in the family Degeneriaceae

@Estopedist1: it's conventional that articles begin with their title, so I made some edits to Degeneria halosauri.
Personally, I think the two articles, Degeneria and Degeneria halosauri are fine as they are right now. A Google search shows that almost all the top hits for "Degeneria" are the plant, so this is the main topic. Peter coxhead (talk) 09:51, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
