Format, list of species of mole salamander
editGreat article. I just wrote a short article for Marbled Salamander and noted how this one has been expanded so expertly. A couple of minor format issues, and please correct me if I'm wrong:
- I was seeing a spurious asterisk before your bulleted lists of species and subspecies. I think this was due to starting a top-level bullet list with two asterisks. I corrected this, I think. I believe I maintained the nested lists correctly, those showing subspecies and hybrids.
- I'm not sure what the practice is here, but I feel the species list should only have Wiki links where an article exists. Otherwise, it is too frustrating to go clicking on links and get the "Create Article" dialog. Most people are not going to want to do that.
Again, a great article. I learned a lot reading it. Thanks very much. --Cotinis 13:01, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks, Cotinis! - Especially for reformatting the list. I am in the process of making species articles for all of them (yesterday I made Puerto Hondo Stream Salamander and Blunt-Headed Salamander), so it should be all blue links soon. LaurenCole 16:17, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
- Oh, duh!, I've never noticed the link colors were different for pages that exist and pages that do not. I'm not colorblind, just clueless.

I made an edit on the longevity of marbled salamanders. 80 years should be 8-10 years. (Bobbrodman (talk) 02:38, 29 October 2010 (UTC))
The section on unisexual salamanders is 20+ years out of date and filled with factual errors. There are zero instances of Blue-spotted and Jefferson Salamanders hybridizing. In fact there is only one site known to have both species. So I rewrote the section with on unisexual citations of recent literature. Hopefully this clears things up - albeit it is still a complex situation. (Bobbrodman (talk) 02:38, 29 October 2010 (UTC))

Split all-female lineage into new article
editI think that unisexual salamanders are notable enough to have their own article. TypistMonkey (talk) 17:04, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
- I'd support an article on the topic of unisexuel salamanders. They seem to be notable in and of themselves. XeCyranium (talk) 01:42, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
- support, seems like it would be useful! The Big Gooper (talk) 09:23, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
