These are the articles that have been edited the most within the last seven days. Last updated 31 March 2023 by HotArticlesBot.

See WP:Notability.

See WP:Naming conventions (fauna).

The following items are desirable for articles of all levels, although the detail will vary depending on several factors. These items do not need to be separated into distinct sections; text should flow in continuous prose so far as possible. The order this information is included is also relatively unimportant, although the order listed is generally preferred.

• Description (physical, behavioral) - what makes this (group of) critter(s) different from its close relatives? Include here evidence about cognitive capacities.
• Habitat - where does it live? how broadly does it roam? maps are good
• Cultural, Religious, Economic, etc. Importance - what impact has it had on humans? Include here use for experimental purposes that do not relate to other headings.
• Classification - how does it fit into the tree of life?

1. Create article for each Family Whew!
2. Ensure all Family articles are taxonomically consistent
   1. Ensure all articles between the Order and Family rank are taxonomically consistent
   2. Ensure all articles between Family and Genus rank are taxonomically consistent
3. Create articles for all Species and for needed Genera
   1. Create links for all species articles on appropriate articles
   2. Create lists of uncreated articles to add to category pages:
      1. general cephalopod articles
      2. bobtail squid articles
      3. cuttlefish articles
      4. squid articles
      5. octopus articles

Cephalopod taxonomy is by no means fully known or agreed upon. The following references are currently being used for this Project. See the discussion for other possibilities.

• http://www.cephbase.utmb.edu/ - Cephalopod database. This seems to be the most complete enumeration of cephalopods. The classification portion was last updated in May 2001, based upon http://www.mnh.si.edu/cephs/newclass.pdf which lists 786 species.
• http://tolweb.org/tree?group=Cephalopoda&contgroup=Mollusca - Tree of Life website. Fantastic descriptions of the differences between many of the cephalopod subgroups.
• http://www.fmnh.helsinki.fi/users/haaramo/Metazoa/Protostoma/Mollusca/Cephalopoda/Cephalopoda.htm#Coleoidea - quite detailed

Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Cephalopod articles by quality statistics

• Taxobox: All articles that are about one cephalopod taxon need a taxobox (or automatic taxobox/speciesbox). This is something we have inherited from the Tree of Life WikiProject. Read more about the automatic taxobox system at WP:Automated taxobox system.
• WikiProject Assessment: Please place the following template at the top of every bivalve article's talk pages:

{{WikiProject Cephalopods|class=?|importance=?|needs-photo=?}}

This will help to direct editors to this page for guidance. More information about class and importance parameters can be found at WP:WikiProject Animals/Assessment.

• Stubs: Please mark stub articles with the appropriate template below.

{{Cephalopod-stub}}

{{squid-stub}}

{{cuttlefish-stub}}

• Reflinks - Edits bare references - adds title/dates etc. to bare references
• Checklinks - Edit and repair external links
• Dab solver - Quickly resolve ambiguous links.
• Peer reviewer - Provides hints and suggestion to improving articles.
