Articles to be created

[edit]

Articles in need of updating

[edit]
  • Update the (mostly tribal) taxonomy of the myrmicines per Ward, P. S.; Brady, S. N. G.; Fisher, B. L.; Schultz, T. D. R. (2015). "The evolution of myrmicine ants: Phylogeny and biogeography of a hyperdiverse ant clade (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)". Systematic Entomology. 40: 61–81. doi:10.1111/syen.12090. S2CID 83986771.
  • Dorylinae - Talk:Dorylinae#2016 Revision
  • Apomyrminae/Apomyrma - revived subfamily
  • Solenopsis molesta - could use a clean up and more information and sources.
  • Camponotus castaneus - No longer a stub, needs to be reviewed.
  • Overbeckia
  • Iberoformica and Iberoformica subrufa - inconsistent, likely need a merger.

Species lists in need of updating

[edit]
  • Feel free to link articles containing out-of-date species lists here. See also aw-taxa (script for generating lists of genera/species from AntWeb's catalog).
  • List of Camponotus species - multiple outdated taxa likely, multiple outdated taxa already corrected

Task force tagging

[edit]
  • Example template
    • {{WikiProject Insects|class=GA|importance=low|ants=yes|ants-importance=top}}
  • Empty template:
    • {{WikiProject Insects|class=|importance=|ants=yes|ants-importance=}}

The importance parameter is shared by all WikiProject Insects pages and this will likely be set to low even for imporant ant articles, but be generous with the ant-priority assessment! We'd rather have a few extra high/mid-rated articles than having important ant articles lost in the low-priority category (which is where most species articles will end up).

Available parameters (see Template:WikiProject Insects for a full list):

  • Task force params:
    • ants=yes
    • ants-importance=top/high/mid/low
  • From the parent template:
    • class=FA/GA/B/C/start/stub/list
    • importance=top/high/mid/low
    • attention=yes
    • needs-photo=yes

Resources

[edit]
  • antcat.org – taxonomy
    • Journal and book references can be exported on the references' details pages (follow the linked reference id) and click on 'Export' --> 'Wikipedia' (example)
    • Export wiki-formatted lists of tribes/genera/species by appending "/wikipedia" to a catalog page's URL. Example: Lasius.
    • {{AntCat}} – citation template (append "/wikipedia" like described above to populate this template from a catalog page)
    • AntCat's recent changes page – useful for discovering changes in ant taxonomy
  • antweb.org – Images
  • antwiki.org – Good for finding references but is not considered a reliable source itself. Claims found using AntWiki as a reference should be tagged with the {{Better source needed}}template and changed in the future.
  • Wikipedia:WikiProject Insects/ant task force/open access
