Clements uses the spelling "Pteroclidae" and places it in the "PTEROCLIFORMES" (according to the Clements checklists on Avibase). I created these categories before seeing this (Categoryteroclididae) page. If we stick to Clements, this page needs to be deleted and Categoryterocles linked to Categoryteroclidae.

Hmmm, this one does not seem to be that easy. Firstly, it is correct that Clements in the printed version uses the spellings that you give here. Using a Google search of Scholar papers finds both forms; the same is the case for searches within SORA. Which spelling people use may be more a question of who do you believe than what is really correct. Pteroclidae looks like a standard construct for a family, inserting di between Pterocl- and -idae seems unusual.

I would therefore say that we should stick with what we already have agreed on, to make Clements our yardstick for genera and higher levels. It would be good to have the Categoryteroclididae changed into a redirect, if that is even possible in the category section?

Thanks

I think I just sorted this. Let me know if something seems broken.
