Forum:Difference between the terms Fauna and Bestiary?

Hello

I intend to create an article on my wiki about animal-like species(?). But I am unsure which term to use for an article as well as category. -- Bunai82 (talk) 19:27, February 22, 2012 (UTC)


 * Bestiary and fauna have completely different definitions. If you are to use one of the two to describe an animal-like species, I would recommend the latter. :) --


 * Thanks for the reply.
 * So if there is an article about Vampires, that would be the Bestiary part? Would a Dragon be Fauna? Or does it depend on the universe the vampire and dragon are in? -- Bunai82 (talk) 15:34, February 23, 2012 (UTC)

A fauna is an animal. A bestiary is a list of animals. I'm not sure what you're getting at here, sowwy Cat 01:33, February 24, 2012 (UTC)


 * @Catuse
 * I am planning to create a list and category of animal-like creatures / species. I need to know what would be best to use. Either both of them for specific types. -- Bunai82 (talk) 13:15, February 24, 2012 (UTC)

I think the category would be "Category:Fauna", and if you created a list article, that article would be called "Bestiary". Imagine it as "Category:Animals", and the article as called "List of animals"-- Category:Acer4666 13:19, February 24, 2012 (UTC)


 * So how would you list things like Vampires and Zombies, vs Dragons and Deer. For example. -- Bunai82 (talk) 21:21, February 27, 2012 (UTC)
