| 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. | | 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. |

| #{{User|Randombob-omb4761}} Rats aren't the only rodents, there's mice, capybaras, hamsters, squirrels, and chipmunks, those are ALL rodents.
| |
| #{{User|Baby Luigi}} 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.
| |
| #{{User|LeftyGreenMario}} I wouldn't categorize [[Gnawty|Gnawties]], [[Conker]], [[Ms. Mowz]], [[Flurl the Squirrel]], and [[Fuzz]] under rats because that's an insult to them.
| |
| #{{User|Walkazo}} - 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.
| |
| #{{User|Turboo}} - Per Walkazo.
| |
| #{{User|Megadardery}} Per all
| |
| #{{User|Iggy Koopa Jr}} Nope. Per all.
| |
| #{{User|Yoshi876}} Per Walkazo.
| |
| #{{User|Gonzales Kart Inc.}} But there's mice and things, and they are rodents, right?
| |
| #{{User|SuperYoshiBros}} Per all.
| |
| #{{user|Tucayo}} - Per Walkazo.
| |
| #{{User|Icemario11}} - Per Walkazo.

| ::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. - {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 23:29, 17 September 2013 (EDT)

| 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.

| #{{User|A Paragoomba and the Koopa Bros.}} Well, judging how we tend to use "flame" more than "bully", let's call it this.
| |
|
| |
| ====Oppose====
| |
| #{{User|Yoshi876}} I'd say Rodents is an easier term to recognize than Vermin, and we go for simplicity.
| |
| #{{User|Icemario11}} 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====
| |
| Is there a way to cancel a proposal without admins? As I think this is likely gonna fail too. --{{User:A Paragoomba and the Koopa Bros./sig}} 13:05, 30 October 2013 (EDT)
