Taxonomy: For all marine species, Project Gastropods uses the taxonomy in the online database WoRMS. When starting a new article, do not use sources of taxonomic information that predate the 2017 revision for all gastropod groups ("Revised Classification, Nomenclator and Typification of Gastropod and Monoplacophoran Families" by Philippe Bouchet & Jean-Pierre Rocroi, Bernhard Hausdorf, Andrzej Kaim, Yasunori Kano, Alexander Nützel, Pavel Parkhaev, Michael Schrödl and Ellen E. Strong in Malacologia, 2017, 61(1–2): 1–526.) (can be dowloaded at Researchgate.net), substituting the previous classification of 2005 Taxonomy of the Gastropoda (Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005). If you need help with any aspect of an article, please leave a note at the Project talk page.

User:Peter coxhead This infraorder, sometimes clade is an important clade in the evolution of the Heterobranch mollusca. It is consistently used in Wikiproject gastropods. I would like to use Automatic taxoboxes, but at the moment all are manually coded apart from a few.

See Tergipes tergipes for one of the few which use Automatic taxobox. BernardP (talk) 20:18, 25 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@BernardP: please read Template:Taxobox/doc#Classification. The purpose of a taxobox is to summmarize, like all infoboxes, not to give a complete taxonomy. Usually we include major ranks, which this is not, and a few ranks immediately above the target taxon, which is done via |display_parents= in a taxobox. The issue is whether it is necessary to include Cladobranchia in every gastropod taxobox, which is the effect of |always display=. You should discuss this at WP:WikiProject Gastropods.

@Peter coxhead: - thanks. I'll draw this to the attention of the main WP:WikiProject Gastropods leaders. I was following previous convention within the existing pages, but I see your point. Actually there are several other categories which I would drop before this one. BernardP (talk) 21:47, 25 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
