05:22.20MethanogenHello
05:23.36MethanogenBtw I have another creature I need help classifying
05:24.54MethanogenIt's a rather unusual one anatomically
05:29.59MethanogenIt's close to being an echinoderm but we don't have a category for that I think

10:06.55MethanogenHello
10:24.08GhelaeHello.
10:24.30MethanogenAh hi there Ghelae
10:24.56MethanogenI have a new creature to classify and no idea where on earth it should go
10:26.22Liquid_InkEukaryota
10:27.31GhelaeThe Eriaroon?
10:27.38MethanogenWell yeah
10:27.39MethanogenYup
10:28.02MethanogenI'm guessing it's closest to a mollusc maybe? I'm not sure
10:30.11GhelaeYeah, the two taxa most like it are Mollusca and Cnidaria.
10:30.38GhelaeIt doesn't fit either of our Cnidarian families, so that suggests Mollusca.
10:30.50GhelaeSpecifically, Cephalapoda.
10:30.58GhelaeCephalopoda*
10:31.21MethanogenThat makes sense
10:31.30MethanogenWhich part of Cephalopoda?
10:32.49GhelaeIt doesn't have much of a shell, so Ammonoidea, Nautiloidea, and Ostraterrapoda are out (those taxa can probably be merged into each other anyway).
10:33.54MethanogenTrue
10:34.01GhelaeMost of the other taxa describe the number of tentacles: "multiples of two", five, ten (or more), and three. I can't quite figure out how many tentacles the Eriaroon has.
10:34.12MethanogenIt has twelve
10:34.19GhelaeBut, with a slight change to the description, I think it fits in Argusida: it has eyes, and it has pincers.
10:34.40MethanogenI wonder who came up with multiples of two...
10:34.43MethanogenHmmmm truuuue
10:35.12GhelaeThe only problem is that most Argusids have a huge number of eyes, while the Eriaroon look like they might have about four.
10:35.27GhelaeBut that's not a big problem. The description of Sextdecimoculidae still works.
10:35.39MethanogenYeah they've only got four
10:36.36MethanogenYeah that seems to fit
10:36.41MethanogenThanks for the help
10:39.56MethanogenIt must be a nightmare trying to classify a lot of creatures on the wiki
10:40.58GhelaeNot usually, but reorganising the taxonomy when there's a problem can be hard work.
10:41.11MethanogenAh I see
10:41.49MethanogenIt is annoying when people end up making entirely new taxons for just one creature? Sometimes I see taxons that have literally no creatures in them even
10:43.26GhelaeMonospecific taxa are the main problem.
10:43.38MethanogenAnd those super specific ones....
10:43.41MethanogenThat makes sense
10:43.47GhelaeTaxa with no species should be deleted, so if you see one, feel free to either let me know here or just add {{delete}} to the page.
10:44.08MethanogenGot it
10:44.14MethanogenI'll see if I can find it
10:48.44MethanogenCan't seem to find it right now
10:49.50MethanogenGhelae, what kind of creatures do you normally have?
10:50.40GhelaeA lot of creatures I've added to the wiki were ones I made playing Spore, and added them to bulk out the "galaxy" that I used to have: http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction:Girdo_Galaxy/Species
10:51.05MethanogenAh so you have quite a collection I'm guessing
10:51.19GhelaeThere are also a few fairly alien ones, which I specifically made by making them terrestrial in origin: http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction:Shuénsom
10:51.58MethanogenBasically all of mine so far are very alien creatures
10:52.13GhelaeMy other fiction is linked to in the navbox you can find at the bottom of both of those pages.
10:53.17MethanogenI see I'll make sure to look into it
10:54.13MethanogenI should probably get a navbox, it'll be useful when I have more than two pages to navigate
10:55.53MethanogenYou have quite a lot of stuff it seems
10:56.21GhelaeThe number of pages that I have is fairly small compared to a lot of people.
10:56.40MethanogenTrue some people seem to have thousands
10:56.46MethanogenBut compared to me it's a lot
10:56.56GhelaeTake a look at http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/User:Cyrannian/CyraBox for example.
10:58.03MethanogenThat is a pretty huge amount of stuff....
10:58.07GhelaeThat being said, I would have a lot more entries if I included every collab I'd participated in.
10:58.20MethanogenAhhh
10:58.37MethanogenIf I included that I'd still have two pages
10:58.59MethanogenNeed to work on actually societies before I do anything however
10:59.17GhelaeWell, you've been here less than a week. I've been here nearly 7 1/2 years.
11:00.02MethanogenTrue...pretty massive time difference
11:00.29MethanogenI just hope to make my stuff as interesting as possible
11:00.38GhelaeYou've made a good start.
11:00.50MethanogenThanks, I'm glad you think so
11:01.04GhelaeFurther looking at cephalapoda, Argusida might end up being merged into another category. One of its two families is monospecific.
11:01.26MethanogenIt is?
11:02.11MethanogenAh true
11:02.37MethanogenWould it be merged with Duocephalopoda or something?
11:02.54GhelaeYes. In fact, I'm now starting to wonder whether it's worth having Cephalopoda as a class. It's practically at the point where you can divide it into a few categories based on whether it has a shell or, if not, how many tentacles it has.
11:03.32MethanogenTrue
11:03.41GhelaeAnother classification scheme might be better.
11:04.10MethanogenMaybe divide molluscs into having shells and not having them or something? Would Gastropoda still exist after changes?
11:05.27GhelaeGastrapoda might, but I'll really need to look into it.
11:05.46GhelaeBasically every real-world type of animal besides arthropods and vertebrates are scacely represented on the wiki.
11:05.56MethanogenTrue they are
11:06.07MethanogenThere's not too many say octopi or worms around
11:07.14MethanogenJust a couple of them
11:07.43MethanogenSo a lot of entire orders have only a few things in them with weird divergence points
11:09.44MethanogenLike "has sixteen or more eyes and more grow throughout their life"
11:10.41MethanogenAnd we end up with a few very similar taxons in totally different areas
11:10.54GhelaeI'm thinking of making an "Invertebrata" phylum to lump all real world non-arthropod non-chordates together.
11:11.19MethanogenHmmmmmmm
11:11.38MethanogenSo we'd have chordate, segmented invertebrates and non-segmented invertebrates
11:11.45GhelaeYes.
11:11.58GhelaeAnd Cryptia, for really strange things.
11:12.02MethanogenAnd cryptia I guess
11:12.03MethanogenYeah
11:12.30MethanogenHmmmm I support that given how relatively few things are in mollusca and vermes
11:13.28MethanogenHonestly I think current taxonomy has a lot of basis on real creatures but here we often don't have enough to really justify a specific taxon for just say nautiluses
11:14.29GhelaeExactly.
11:14.49MethanogenAnd we get a lot of super specific ones that only have one thing in them
11:15.13MethanogenSo by merging a lot of these together we could help prevent that
11:15.34*** join/#sporewiki NeonPanda (3ce6aeb1@gateway/web/freenode/ip.60.230.174.177)
11:15.45MethanogenHello
11:17.11MethanogenIt's figuring out what to merge and what to use as divergence points that we have an issue. Along with actually spending the time actually changing all this stuff.
11:20.15MethanogenI guess the goal is to have as few taxons as possible while still providing enough for every creature to have some classification to fit it
11:21.09GhelaeHello.
11:21.12NeonPandathat's prettymuch the essence of taxonomy in a nutshell
11:21.22NeonPandaas much information with as little complication as possible
11:21.51MethanogenIn that case I'd support the Invertebrata idea
11:21.58GhelaeNeonPanda: The news is that, having seen that there are so few real-world-like non-arthropod non-chordates, we're merging non-segmented invertebrates into a single phylum.
11:22.24NeonPandamakes sense
11:24.04MethanogenWe have a lot of super specific taxons just before the genus that I wish I knew the proper term for, hopefully this can help with that in some way
11:25.44MethanogenActually, what separates Mollusca and Vermes anyway? The body shape?
11:27.38GhelaePretty much. Gastropods can be merged into Vermes.
11:28.20MethanogenSo we'd have elongated non-segmented invertebrates and non-enlongated non-segmented invertebrates
11:30.43MethanogenI have to go, nice talking to you all

17:09.00HachimanBout to have dinner so can't hang around
17:12.10TechnobliteratorI just finished Horizon Zero Dawn
17:12.15TechnobliteratorRidiculously amazing game
17:17.03HachimanI'd have thought it wouldn't be as popular as it was
17:17.20HachimanSeems like it's actually almost as popular as BotW based on what people have said about it
17:17.49TechnobliteratorWhy not?
17:18.03HachimanThey said that it releasing just days away from BotW would be like the equivalent of "video game suicide" but it seems HZD has been surprisingly successful
17:18.35HachimanGonna be honest, I thought it looked neat but also thought it was a "gimmick game", if you get my drift
17:18.51TechnobliteratorWell, lots of people who played HZD do not have a Switch or Wii U to play BotW with
17:18.51HachimanAnd that it'd get boring after a few hours and some such but that's just from an outsider's perspective
17:19.08TechnobliteratorI had no idea what to expect from HZD, but it definitely didn't end up boring me
17:19.21TechnobliteratorIt's the first game since FFXV that I actually want to 100% and do all the sidequests in
17:19.31Technobliteratormost open world games tire me out before I can finish them

17:19.49TechnobliteratorIt was much better than FFXV
