Template:Taxonomy/CAM → Template:Taxonomy/"CAM" – CAM should be "CAM" because it's invalid under the PhyloCode. It does not have a definition. Jako96 (talk) 12:18, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Generally, if this was in the main article namespace where such details like special characters would matter, it would be one thing. But this is the template namespace, where you are dealing with templates and coding and other things that are more computer programming-oriented. And such details are not that critical because template titles seem to be more closer to computer programming variables and functions than actual article titles. And iirc some programming languages would not even allow such quotation marks in variable and function names. That said, since I do not actually edit taxonomy articles on a regular basis, I am staying neutral. Zzyzx11 (talk) 20:30, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose: The suggestion to use scare quotes is a pure insertion of WP:EDITORIALIZING. Commentary belongs in article content, not the names of templates. See WP:SCAREQUOTES. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 16:54, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose very few clade names have been validated under the PhyloCode. Most clades that have names (albeit not PhyloCode valid names) never appear with quotes around them. Plantdrew (talk) 21:08, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
