Taxonomy: For all marine species, Project Gastropods uses the taxonomy in the online database WoRMS. When starting a new article, do not use sources of taxonomic information that predate the 2017 revision for all gastropod groups ("Revised Classification, Nomenclator and Typification of Gastropod and Monoplacophoran Families" by Philippe Bouchet & Jean-Pierre Rocroi, Bernhard Hausdorf, Andrzej Kaim, Yasunori Kano, Alexander Nützel, Pavel Parkhaev, Michael Schrödl and Ellen E. Strong in Malacologia, 2017, 61(1–2): 1–526.) (can be dowloaded at Researchgate.net), substituting the previous classification of 2005 Taxonomy of the Gastropoda (Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005). If you need help with any aspect of an article, please leave a note at the Project talk page.

Excuse me? No longer in use? Googling yields me masses of instances where 'Mesogastropoda' is used! So how can anyone claim and by what authority that the term is no longer used!? Apparantly it is! Maybe it is not monophyletic, but is still being used like so many paraphyletic groups! Fedor 11:36, 28 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
The article no longer refers to this taxon as "no longer in use". Invertzoo (talk) 22:11, 27 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
