what is stated in the intro sentence ! Yes, the Handbook of the Mammals of the World (1993 ?) and the Mammal Species of the World (2005) are very good and outstandingly made, but they are quite old... especially the former. The MDD Database has a terrific amount of information and also kept tabs on the changes since Mammals of the world (2005) by showing the differences between now and then. In only 2 years from now, Mammals of the world will be 20 years old. 18 years old and 30 years old isn't quite the definition of up-to-date... Mammal Diversity Database. (2022).

containing multiple extant species. If you want to make new pages, you're going to have a battle on your hands from a number of editors who will come out of the woodwork and say "That's not how we do things". As fr organizing how to do things, I'd follow the taxonomic orderings... Go order by order, family by family... and not alphabetically. You'll see that some orders or families are handled somewhat differently due to their specific data. If you go alphabetically, you'll fall into some traps of changing things that are set up for these circumstances.

as realigning is a huge undertaking and should be handled by as many like-minded folks as possible. This talk here is probably not on most project member's watchlists... though I know its on some... Also, post a pointer to the discussion you create on some of the subproject's talk pages as well. This

The MDD Databases (Mammal Diversity Database) posted since 2018 complete and up-to dates information of all species of mammals. There have been 10 versions released to date, the last being released December 3rd 2022. They recensed 6615 species of mammals and 1347 genera. That's 89 genera higher that

Comment at the bottom of the listing is : "I would also suggest the creation or restoration of genus pages that simply get redirect to their sole member. Some wikipedia pages on mammals species only have a line. Having something like : "Abeomelomys is a genus of mammal. It only contains 1 species :

i'm going to post all the genus of the database in alphabetical order on my talk page. That way i can then find those on this article that are either not in use right now or missing !

You are right, doing this like you said, will make me do things a lesser number of times that if i break it in multiples steps. I'm going to change my way ASAP.

I really appreciate the work you did and do, and I count on working with what you did and organized. Simply just after, i made my notes and comments. :)

This page should be renamed using the genus instead of "Spiny Mouse" as the title. I do not suggest restoring the genus page with a redirect.

Of course, great idea ! I just need to know which is missing, which are redirects and which should be renamed appropriately. Example,

I added messages in talk pages of all Aonyx species , aswell as in the Aonyx genus talk page and the Lutrogale genus talk page.

I meant restoring the redirect pages into a brief page. But yes, i do understand what you mean and I agree with you.

Why not on this page make a list of mammalian orders and from there see a list from each order.
