Branisella

This extinct genus is included in Category:New World monkeys as "†Branisella", which means that it gets indexed in the category under "†". This seems odd to me, and I was going to change it, but it occurred to me that this might be intentional, so I thought this would be a good place to ask. I observe that Noropithecus is not indexed that way in Category:Old World monkeys

List of primate documentaries?

I was thinking of creating a list of notable documentaries focused on nonhuman primates, especially the ones with Wikipedia entries (Chimp Empire, Chimp Crazy, Monkey Kingdom, etc.). I was thinking it should be a list -- as opposed to a subcategory -- because there doesn't seem to be clean way of blending film and TV (and possibly audio/podcast) nonfiction on the topic.

There is currently a category for Films about Primates but it is woefully underutilized. And since, increasingly, documentaries are taking the form of TV series, I'm thinking something new might be best.

Does this make sense? Wanted to ask in advance... Monkeywire (talk) 20:05, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

@Monkeywire I would check with WP:FILM to see if they have more similar list pages of this type. I can only imagine that Films about horses would be equal in status… Ah, see: List of films about horse racing — HTGS (talk) 04:39, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

Inclusion of various WikiFauna

Various WikiFauna pages (humorous pages that describe Wikipedia user personalities) have been added to this Wikiproject (including pages like Wikipedia:WikiGiant and Wikipedia:WikiKing). I don’t think these really fall into the relevant types of pages this project wants to manage, but I do want to check if others disagree. See the full list of this project’s project-level pages here: [1] — HTGS (talk) 04:34, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

Evolution of Primates

Hey y'all! the entry for the evolution of primates is looking kind of anemic right now, there's only a few complete sections, and any expansion is welcome. Anyone who would be interested in basically writing from scratch sections for the article should check it out and see if you can help out. here's the list of sections that currently need fixing: origins of primates, evolution of strepsirrhinnes, evolution of haplorrhines, evolution of new world monkeys, human evolution (most of that section is just copy/pasted from the main entry,) and evolution of the pelvis. Many of these used to be empty or single sentence, I've expanded all of them to at least be something, but I would love any help I can get from the primate crew.
