The following items are desirable for articles of all levels, although the detail will vary depending on several factors. These items do not need to be separated into distinct sections; text should flow in continuous prose so far as possible. The order this information is included is also relatively unimportant, although the order listed is generally preferred.
Description (physical, behavioral) - what makes this (group of) critter(s) different from its close relatives? Include here evidence about cognitive capacities.
Habitat - where does it live? how broadly does it roam? maps are good
Cultural, Religious, Economic, etc. Importance - what impact has it had on humans? Include here use for experimental purposes that do not relate to other headings.
Classification - how does it fit into the tree of life?

Create lists of uncreated articles to add to category pages:
Cephalopod taxonomy is by no means fully known or agreed upon. The following references are currently being used for this Project. See the
discussion for other possibilities.
Taxobox: All articles that are about one cephalopod taxon need a taxobox (or automatic taxobox/speciesbox). This is something we have inherited from the
Tree of Life WikiProject. Read more about the automatic taxobox system at
WP:Automated taxobox system.
WikiProject Assessment: Please place the following template at the top of every bivalve article's talk pages:
This will help to direct editors to this page for guidance. More information about class and importance parameters can be found at
WP:WikiProject Animals/Assessment.
Stubs: Please mark stub articles with the appropriate template below.
