I'm not wholly clear on where the line is drawn between [[:category:Sentient insects]] and [[:category:Insectoid species]]. Is "sentient insects" for regular insects made sentient? Are "insectoid species" species which we would not class as insects, despite resembling them? | I'm not wholly clear on where the line is drawn between [[:category:Sentient insects]] and [[:category:Insectoid species]].

I'm not seeing much consistency in terms of which pages get which category. To name one example, [[Migrant Bee]]s are called an "insectoid species" in the article lead, but given "Sentient insects" as a category.{{User:SOTO/sig}} 00:24, February 6, 2019 (UTC) | I'm not seeing much consistency in terms of which pages get which category.

:Further adding to the confusion is that the page [[Insectoid]], which is widely linked to on such pages, is actually about a specific ''fictional'' species, rather than a class of species more generally.{{User:SOTO/sig}} 00:27, February 6, 2019 (UTC) | |||
::To clear up the muddle I've moved the species to [[Insectoid (Nightshade)]] and redirected [[Insectoid]] to [[Insect]] (for now). – [[User:NateBumber|n8]] ([[User talk:NateBumber|☎]]) 17:43, 10 May 2023 (UTC) | |||
