Don't rename 0-12
If the categories of Canines and Felines is now Cats and Dogs respectively now, this should be simplified to rats so people can easily understand it.

- Randombob-omb4761 (talk) Rats aren't the only rodents, there's mice, capybaras, hamsters, squirrels, and chipmunks, those are ALL rodents.
- Baby Luigi (talk) All rats are rodents but not all rodents are rats. The term "rodent" describes exactly as Randombomb-omb has said, it's a category. Rats are much more specific than rodents therefore it doesn't merit a change.
- LeftyGreenMario (talk) I wouldn't categorize Gnawties, Conker, Ms. Mowz, Flurl the Squirrel, and Fuzz under rats because that's an insult to them.
- Walkazo (talk) - Per my comment, and the other voters who have pointed out that "rat" is not actually an accepted umbrella term for Rodentia as a whole.
- Turboo (talk) - Per Walkazo.
- Megadardery (talk) Per all
- Iggy Koopa Jr (talk) Nope. Per all.
- Yoshi876 (talk) Per Walkazo.
- Gonzales Kart Inc. (talk) But there's mice and things, and they are rodents, right?
- SuperYoshiBros (talk) Per all.
- Tucayo (talk) - Per Walkazo.
- Icemario11 (talk) - Per Walkazo.
Comments[edit]
For consistency this could probably just be moved, rather than going through the process of another drawn-out TPP.

- I agree with YoshiKong.

- Except this proposed name isn't consistent with the other ones. "Cat", "dog" and "pig" all work as casual umbrella terms, but "rat" is not a proper way to refer to rodents as a whole. Given how Rodentia includes such non-rat-like critters as beavers and porcupines, it's not intuitive at all and would just confuse people. - Walkazo 23:29, 17 September 2013 (EDT)
I never thought I'd make this useless proposal on my part, let's not hope we do it again.. --APA TKB 04:13, 30 October 2013 (EDT)

canceled by proposer
After the last one failed, let's start this again. I just had no clue that rats had nothing to do with some animals. Vermin is also another way to describe rodents.

Deadline: CANCELLED
Support[edit]
- A Paragoomba and the Koopa Bros. (talk) Well, judging how we tend to use "flame" more than "bully", let's call it this.
Oppose[edit]
- Yoshi876 (talk) I'd say Rodents is an easier term to recognize than Vermin, and we go for simplicity.
- Icemario11 (talk) Rodents works fine and there's no actual need to change it, I'd think. Besides, I find vermin a less explicit term, as less would likely know what counts as vermin.
Comments[edit]
Is there a way to cancel a proposal without admins? As I think this is likely gonna fail too. --APA TKB 13:05, 30 October 2013 (EDT)
