===Accipitriformes stubs===
 
Within the [[birds of prey]], the split of biological order [[Accipitriformes]] from Falconiformes is now well-accepted. This makes the {{tl|Falconiformes-stub}} look anachronistic when placed on an article for a bird that belongs to the other group.
 
Of the 145 articles currently tagged, most are Accipitriformes and only about 23 are true Falconiformes. What would be a good way to handle this? Can we create a "diurnal raptors" parent category and redirect or upmerge? I'm thinking that a temporary redirect would be good until the Accipitriformes can be re-tagged with a new template.
 
Most of the other bird stubs are grouped by Order, so I'd prefer to see a separate Falconiformes stub category, even if it has less than 30 pages. But if that's not allowable, we should at least have separate templates for Accipitriformes and Falconiformes to improve the presentation of the articles on which they appear.
 
Suggestions welcomed,
