Search keyword

Help. This is my first time editing. How do you correct the search keyword? This article appears under "Sus scofa", not "Sus scrofa".Cathymichaud13 (talk) 03:46, 14 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Cathymichaud13. Sus scofa is a deliberate redirect from mispelling, so that if anyone tries to link it it will be flagged. Note that "sus scofa" is amazingly common[1], including in documents where "sus scrofa" is also used... ^~Hydronium^~Hydroxide^~(Talk)~ 04:06, 14 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A young boar is commonly known as a boarlet but it makes no mention of this:

(Even https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/48847/11-lesser-known-names-baby-animals notes farrows and shoats as more obscure and boarlet as 'more obvious' and on wiki on key Irish events on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_in_Ireland)

The hesitance to include I suspect stems from the same reason it's called 'wild boar' ie that boar is the male of multiple species - but in common parlance and usage it's a piglet for a pig and a boarlet for a wild boar and it should be referenced on this page.. If I search "what is a baby boar called" the first link says piglet and boarlet. Seems very odd to not have it referenced here even if it's generally accepted that piglet is the 'definitive' answer and boarlet is just a less common alternative..? 146.198.245.122 (talk) 21:33, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Done Thank you for your suggestion. Added it with the rte source do to the others being of limited reliability. 15 (talk) 22:44, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Remove reference to wild boars beeing used in germany for drug searches. This is misinformtion. 1. It was a trained house swine 2. It was only one animal "used" by one police station 3. It was meant as a publicity stunt 2A02:908:3611:69BC:ADC3:85B8:9987:B35F (talk) 19:25, 26 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"sounders" and "matriarchy"

the first time the word "sounders" occurs, it should be explained. and the article says "female dominated sounders" with a link at "female dominated" to "matriarchy", which is about human beings, not pigs. This linkage is either ignorant or a form of original research by someone who really wants to compare human matriarchies with groups of wild pigs. --142.163.194.161 (talk) 22:18, 24 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
