Moving page to name of genus edit

Latest comment: 9 months ago4 comments3 people in discussion

@Schwede66: I am working on this article after the topic was featured on Critter of the Week. It is a monotypic genus (ie only one species is known. The newly named species has been given the genus name Cylix, the Greek or Latin word for cup. User:Giantflightlessbirds has just confirmed to me that because it is monotypic the page Cylix tupareomanaia should be moved to the genus name: Cylix

The problem is that there is an existing redirect set up for Cylix, going to Kylix - an article about ancient cups. See also: Cylix of Apollo.

I am a bit unsure how to progress this. I don't think the page should be moved over the redirect. I guess the genus page name could be Cylix (genus). What do you think ? Are there other options ? Marshelec (talk) 05:14, 25 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Personally, since cylix is just an alternate spelling of kylix, but is the actual name of the genus, I think the genus should occupy that spot, with a hatnote pointing people to the kylix article, and there should be a disambiguation page for kylix/cylix. The latter two things already exist, so it's down to moving the genus page over the redirect. Just my thoughts. Giantflightlessbirds (talk) 07:11, 25 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Agree. Move the redirect out of the way (e.g. Cylix (cup)). Then tidy up any incoming links. Then move the genus to the primary name. Then give that article a hatnote. Schwede 66 10:15, 25 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

I had feedback from WP:Requested moves/Technical requests on this point. Articles about monotypic fauna are given the title of the genus as per WP:MONOTYPICFAUNA but, "[t]he exception is when a monotypic genus name needs to be disambiguated. The article should then be at the species, since this is a more natural form of disambiguation.". If a case can be made that Cylix (the genus) meets the test of WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, then a standard requested move could be initiated. I will leave the article title as-is for now.Marshelec (talk) 00:48, 27 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
