[edit]

That first external link seems to be at the end of the articles for Bagaceratops as well as other small members of the Ceratopsia (Archaeoceratops, Bainoceratops, Leptoceratops, Montanoceratops, Prenoceratops, Breviceratops, Lamaceratops and Platyceratops), despite the fact that it only addresses the group in general (mainly the larger forms), and has very little, if any, relevancy to smaller forms like Bagaceratops, Breviceratops, etc.--which are known from Asia, despite the fact that American dinosaurs are the subject of the link.

Said link offers no information on the small forms whose articles link to it, so if you follow the link expecting to find information on one of these small forms, you end up scrolling halfway down the page just to realize that there is no information relevant to that dinosaur at all! Wouldn't it be better just to put that link on the article about Ceratopsidae, or even just dinosaurs in general? Instructing someone to scroll halfway down the page to find the information they want, when that information is very basic and probably already present on Wikipedia anyway, is tedious (for the reader) and unnecessary. 71.217.114.221 22:12, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That's a reasonable point. I'll take it off the basal ceratopsians. J. Spencer 22:57, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I would like to discuss... As brought up here by PaleoNeolitic, this paper from 2019 synonymized Gobiceratops, Lamaceratops, Magnirostris and Platyceratops into Bagaceratops. Unless anyone knows of any serious opposition to this, we should merge all these taxa like we did earlier with Nanotyrannus and Stygimoloch   User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk  17:33, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
