I'm not about to edit a template on my own judgment. But this stub template bothers me. The actual text of the template says, "This article about a carnivore..." Fine, "for most purposes," but consider the Qinling Panda.
The Qinling Panda may be, "a carnivore in the sense of being member of the Order Carnivora," but it subsists (of course) entirely on bamboo. Someone looking at that page and unaware of the other (I'll refrain from saying more technical, since I don't think it really is) definition of 'carnivore' could be left with the inaccurate perception that there's a meat-eating subspecies of Giant Panda wandering the mountains of China.
Mightn't it reduce the potential for confusion to rephrase it to, for example, "This article about a member of the taxonomical Order Carnivora?" The link to the appropriate page is still there, in case anyone wishes to pursue an understanding of Carnivora, but there is a lower chance of a casual reader winding up with nightmares about bloodthirsty pandas.
If this were a normal page, I'd make the edit myself, but I don't feel competent to much about with templates. 66.24.234.76 (talk) 14:27, 14 December 2008 (UTC)※
