Name

Why is it known as the Satanic Leaf Tailed Gecko? I don't see anything particularly demonic about it. Xavius, the Satyr Lord (talk) 10:29, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately the picture on there is a very bad one. It's called 'satanic' because when upset, surprised, or otherwise emotionally distressed, it turned almost jet black and has bright red eyes. Try googling the name, but even those results don't do it justice. 67.249.178.169 (talk) 22:30, 15 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

IUCN Category

This species is not included in any of the categories of the IUCN Red List. Only one species of genus Uroplatus (U. henkeli) is included in the category vulnerable (http://www.iucnredlist.org/apps/redlist/details/178653/0) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.91.68.237 (talk) 12:18, 5 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Order

I wonder if anybody with more expertise than me could clarify what order this gecko is in? There seems to be a conflict between information on the ARKive website ARKive.org and the Wikipedia page that could do with clarifying. Cheers Wikisamia (talk) 20:55, 15 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

variant with wings?

On 2016-01-27, the Uroplatus phantasticus was featured in the Bing wallpaper of the day. A Bing search reveals this picture, in which one of the two appears to have wings. Through some searching, I haven't found any more information on that. Any ideas? - Paul2520 (talk) 16:22, 27 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Variant With Wings

The image is photo-shopped. No such variant exists.2607:FEA8:879F:F270:0:0:0:4 (talk) 01:10, 15 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Article name change

Kevmin has reverted this article's name to its scientific one, even though it already has a common name that is well in use. I don't find this to be a very wise decision. Ddum5347 (talk) 17:11, 8 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
