@ Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Tree of Life#"List of mammal species" article.   ~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅dgaf)  15:05, 24 September 2018 (UTC)

Either way Cloud forest, you need to use a bulleted list format   User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk  15:14, 25 September 2018 (UTC)

This sort of pointless list, of enormous size and basically no encyclopedic purpose, and of course no citations, is exactly what Wikipedia does not need. Chiswick Chap (talk) 15:42, 25 September 2018 (UTC)

It pretend to be printable version for field workers.Cloud forest (talk) 15:49, 25 September 2018 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cloud forest (talk • contribs) 15:48, 25 September 2018 (UTC)

...which is fine and dandy for Wikiversity, but here we are playing "Encyclopedia", dude - not Useful Document Repository. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 16:26, 25 September 2018 (UTC)

Also, I wonder what kind of field worker you envision who needs a full alphabetical list of all mammal species w/o any further information. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 16:28, 25 September 2018 (UTC)

I have begun to work on this article, and I would like to note that there are articles with lists that are much longer than this. Leo1pard (talk) 16:51, 25 September 2018 (UTC)

Co-work.

Thank you.

An appreciation: the blue "Contents" box reflects in best way what a list is. Narky Blert in that way you are editing it would reflect the generas not the species.

List are numerical or alphabetical, other form of presentation is a table (to consider). Cloud forest (talk) 18:58, 25 September 2018 (UTC)

As someone who wrote List of parrots, I can tell you, from the amount of things you need in your list, do not attempt a table. At this size, a bulleted-list format is the way you need to go if you wanna make it readable to the extent possible   User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk  17:49, 28 September 2018 (UTC)

Anchors are very appropriate Cloud forest (talk) 18:08, 28 September 2018 (UTC)

List of mammal species/navigation is a rehash of List of mammal genera and is not the answer to the navigation problem   User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk  19:18, 28 September 2018 (UTC)

You can type Control F in your computer to find Cloud forest (talk) 21:45, 28 September 2018 (UTC)

How is that different from List of mammal genera? And how exactly does that separate article help with navigation?   User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk  22:24, 28 September 2018 (UTC)

It is a printable version and it is not hierarchicalCloud forest (talk) 22:33, 28 September 2018 (UTC)

Cramming them all together makes it very unreadable especially if you're planning on printing it out   User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk  22:37, 28 September 2018 (UTC)

Not to mention that it’s trying to use Wikipedia to violate WP:NOTDIR policy. Kingofaces43 (talk) 13:34, 29 September 2018 (UTC)

Wikipedia is requesting a picture, Dromiciops gliroides "Monito del monte" is representative. One species makes a complete order Cloud forest (talk) 18:31, 28 September 2018 (UTC)

I don’t think you understand the purpose of these talk pages. Dab solver is indeed a tool and, as said on the article, one this article very much needs. This is not new information   User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk  21:36, 29 September 2018 (UTC)

Why? Cloud forest (talk) 13:40, 3 October 2018 (UTC)

Why what?   User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk  02:03, 4 October 2018 (UTC)

For "why" turn to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of mammal species. Please do not tell me you have managed to remain oblivious of that discussion all through the last week. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 06:08, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
