[edit] Differences between turtles, tortoises and terrapins

Why did you create this article? It's very short and the content was already in Turtle. Do you intend to expand it soon? PeaceNT 18:33, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

I created this article because it is information which is just as pertinent to tortoise and terrapin wiki pages as to the turtle page. I followed suggestions found on Section Linking and Pages with a common section:

make the section a separate page/template and either transclude it into, or just link to it from, its parent page; instead of linking to the section one can then link to the separate page.

A section on the relationship of the subjects A and B, or a subtopic equally relevant for A as for B, can be put both in page A and in page B, by making it a separate page C, called as a template from A and B.

Though the page is a stub now, it can be expanded to show differences in different classes of chelonians which will be updated on all pertinent wiki pages.

Okay, thanks for the clarification. I hope the page is expanded soon. Best regards, PeaceNT 14:51, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
