As Niels suggested, this is a thread for logging name changes to bird entries on opus. That's name changes only: if you split or lump something, please post it over on Niels's thread.
For reference, Niels and Rasmus created a standard for resolving these things in this thread. The short version: follow any consensus you can find among Clements, Howard and Moore, and Gill and Wright, then use redirects for the various rejected alternatives.
Special thanks to the creators of Avibase, without which this project would be even more of a headache than it already is.
