Propose renaming "Trachyte (genus)" edit

The current name, "Trachytes," risks confusion with the type of rock, Trachyte, which is how I found this article in the first place - a link from an article about geology misdirected me here. It's bad form that the singular and plural of the same word link to two entirely different articles. Riverhugger (talk) 18:22, 30 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

Update: I realized that all autoconfirmed users can make this change. Actions taken:
1. Moved page "Trachytes" to page "Trachyte (genus)" and then to page "Trachytes (genus)" when I realized I had the wrong genus name.
2. Edited redirect page for "Trachytes" to redirect to Trachyte instead of Trachytes (genus).
3. Audited all pages that link to Trachytes to check that any referring to the genus do not refer instead to the type of rock.
