Change line 99 from:

   arachnid   = {'a spider', 'spiders'},

to

   arachnid   = {'an arthropod', 'arthropods'},

"arachnid" is being used on redirects that are non-spider arachnids, such as Tolus appalachius. Category and displayed noun should be "arthropod", not "spider" (an alternative would be to create new categories for arachnid redirects and change "spider" to "arachnid", but I don't think arachnid categories are warranted at present).

Can someone add stuff for bacterium redirects? I've recently created the category Redirects from scientific names of bacteria, and there are about 20 pages in Category:Redirects from scientific names of microorganisms which should be in the new cat. If someone does make these changes, can they use this to purge the pages and make them show up. Thanks, greyzxq ^talk 17:27, 2 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Plantdrew We now have a lot of pages in Category:Redirects to scientific names of bacteria. Does this also need creating? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 10:58, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also Category:Redirects from alternative scientific names of bacteria — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 11:02, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've created the categories. Plantdrew (talk) 15:26, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
