editShould it be mentioned that this creature appeared in the 1984 novel Carnosaur?

Becklespinax and Megalosaurus dunkeri
editI'm a bit confused by the whole name situation, the Becklespinax article was recently moved to Altispinax, where I think it had been moved once before, but then moved back. Then we also have the separate article Megalosaurus dunkeri, which supposedly also refers to the same animal. So is the article presently at the right destination, and should dunkeri redirect here?

- Altispinax and Becklespinax were both named for the dorsal vertebrae (according to Maisch). Megalosaurus dunkeri was a species named for a single tooth that was believed to be the holotype of Altispinax until Maisch's revision. Megalosaurus dunkeri and Altispinax dunkeri are separate species based on separate material that just happen to share a species name. IJReid {{T - C - D - R}} 15:07, 23 November 2017 (UTC)
Carnosauria infraordo not displaying
editHello,
I myself am quite unfamiliar with the automatic taxobox system. I have noticed that while Altispinax is a basal carnosaur genus, it is not mentioned as being in the Carnosauria infraorder in the taxobox. Can someone experienced with the system fix this?
Thanks,

editIsn't that child drawing inappropriate to have on Wikipedia? Rozchwierutany (talk) 20:47, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
