Noctiluca scintillans → Noctiluca – Monotypic genera are typically titled as just the genus name, as per WP:MONOTYPICFAUNA. Grey Clownfish (talk) 06:40, 10 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, WP:MONOTYPICFLORA may be more relevant here. However, it still says to follow that same convention. Grey Clownfish (talk) 07:54, 10 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

• Support. Not controversial. Please just move these in future. YorkshireExpat (talk) 22:58, 10 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  I can't move it because I'm not an admin. Ordinary users cannot move a page to a title with significant history. Grey Clownfish (talk) 00:55, 11 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
