WP:COATRACK, or misnomer

[edit]

This article, ostensibly about insect cognition in general, is (in the body) entirely about foraging cognition. This means that either the body is a coatrack, and all other cognition topics (such as are listed and cited in the lead) are absent; or that the article is a misnomer for the somewhat specialised subtopic Insect foraging cognition, and the main topic Insect cognition is actually absent, or present only as a stub represented by the lead. In keeping with the coatrack theory, the lead actually fails to mention "foraging" at all; and yes, bingo, this single 31 January 2020 edit added 18,653 bytes to a 4,137 byte article.

Given the gross imbalance, I think I'll split the thing into those two articles, so that at least the titles match the contents. Much work remains to be done on this the parent article. Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:08, 26 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

Arthropods cognition

[edit]

Spiders also have a lot of intelligence. This article should be called Arthropods cognition and it should say and about spiders. Kucbka7771 (talk) 12:04, 6 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

You may be right, but sources would need to show that. If sources are talking about insect cognition, that's the article topic. Currently used sources have titles with "insect" and "bee", not "spider" or "arthropod". WeyerStudentOfAgrippa (talk) 22:59, 6 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
