Me myself, as an entity capable of hammering on a keyboard, I think we need mo' betta writin' here, so people curious about the tree toads in their yard don't get all up in a fuss.

'Tree frog' = 'frog in a tree,' which is to be explained following, say.

Don't want to monkey too much with it myself right now, since the formatting and pictures and all make so many hearts melt, and I'm all about making hearts melt.

Why a disam page[edit]

I can't see why this is a disambiguation page when Tree frog is an article in its own right even though there are varying families or kinds. It's not as if "Tree frog" is also a band, a battlship or a place name as well. Anyone? Julia Rossi (talk) 12:20, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 14 September 2018[edit]

Please remove the unnecessary infobox which was unilaterally added by Bubblesorg without any consensus. The generic {{Infobox}} is not appropriate for animal groups, and the template repeats information already presented in the article body. 2001:569:782B:7A00:84A8:401F:FCAB:C36F (talk) 18:22, 14 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The first picture of the frog says "tree forg" insted of "tree frog". Regards. Martinwiki (talk) 16:02, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

When you type in "tree frog" from the index page (wikipedia.org), the auto-populated list to choose from has this article listed first. And instead of the classic summary, there is only the phrase "a tasty snack". Apparently their secretions can induce vomiting, which downplays any tasty-factor, but the point of the article is not focused on their culinary value. I don't even see the word "snack" anywhere in the article, talk, code, or history. Not sure how this can be edited, but can someone change it to something a bit more appropriate? 47.26.162.209 (talk) 11:06, 8 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Tree frog → Treefrog – Treefrog is recognized as one word rather than two by many leading sources. For reference see principal databases like the International Union for the Conservation of Nature Red List (example: https://www.iucnredlist.org/species/55687/112715618), Amphibian Species of the World 6.0 by the American Museum of Natural History (https://amphibiansoftheworld.amnh.org/Amphibia/Anura/Hylidae), and Amphibiaweb (example: https://amphibiaweb.org/cgi/amphib_query?where-genus=Hyla&where-species=versicolor). Many scientific journals also list this as one word like in ZOOTAXA 4104 "Phylogenetics, classification, and biogeography of the treefrogs" Duellman et al. 2016. Some species' Wikipedia pages already reflect this as well like Gray treefrog. "Tree frog" as two words is also sometimes still used, but it seems that "Treefrog" is more common. Me3420 (talk) 00:08, 10 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Discussion rather than an undiscussed move would probably be best for this. —BarrrelProof (talk) 01:52, 10 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • This seems more potentially controversial than a purely technical matter. I'd say this certainly needs a discussion before a move. Hog Farm Bacon 01:55, 10 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. Webster's dictionary and Dictionary.com have it as two words. And the Google Ngrams show a clear preference for it being two words. Rreagan007 (talk) 06:30, 10 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Per Rreagan007.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 16:23, 11 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose After seeing the Google Ngrams data, it does appear that although both terms are used, "Tree Frog" is more common in most works so it should stay as the page title here - although the page should continue to show in the first line that both terms are used. Consequently, I would like to propose changing Wikipedia page titles for individual species that show "Treefrog" to "Tree frog", like on the above-mentioned Gray Treefrog page.
