  1. Randombob-omb4761 (talk) Rats aren't the only rodents, there's mice, capybaras, hamsters, squirrels, and chipmunks, those are ALL rodents.
  2. 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.
  3. LeftyGreenMario (talk) I wouldn't categorize Gnawties, Conker, Ms. Mowz, Flurl the Squirrel, and Fuzz under rats because that's an insult to them.
  4. 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.
  5. Turboo (talk) - Per Walkazo.
  6. Megadardery (talk) Per all
  7. Iggy Koopa Jr (talk) Nope. Per all.
  8. Yoshi876 (talk) Per Walkazo.
  9. Gonzales Kart Inc. (talk) But there's mice and things, and they are rodents, right?
  10. SuperYoshiBros (talk) Per all.
  11. Tucayo (talk) - Per Walkazo.

Comments

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)
