Allotherian stubs

The result of the debate was do not create.
IMO it would be convenient to have a stub category for members of Allotheria, a large extinct group of mammaliaforms. Most of the relevant articles are listed on this template. —Trilletrollet [ Talk | Contribs ] 17:19, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

Which stub template do they use at present? --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 17:48, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

They mostly use Template:Jurassic-mammal-stub or Template:Cretaceous-mammal-stub, but those templates are very unspecific. —Trilletrollet [ Talk | Contribs ] 19:19, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

I think the numbers don't really indicate a need for an Allotheria stub type - there are only 169 articles in both Category:Jurassic mammal stubs and Category:Cretaceous mammal stubs combined. Her Pegship (?) 22:43, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

Those two categories really shouldn't have been created in the first place, they're pretty useless. Also, they're not mutually exclusive with the proposed category. —Trilletrollet [ Talk | Contribs ] 10:18, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

And as far as I can tell, neither category was actually proposed here before creation. —Trilletrollet [ Talk | Contribs ] 10:23, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

User:Trilletrollet, if you want to replace the two existing templates with one for Allotheria, please propose those templates and categories for deletion at CFD. Her Pegship (?) 20:50, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

No, I don't think they should be deleted. I've mostly given up on this proposal anyways, since it clearly isn't going anywhere. —Trilletrollet [ Talk | Contribs ] 21:01, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
