@Chiswick Chap in this edit changed the heading "Classification" to "Types". The paragraph then talks about classes and classification. The source, 

Endler, John A. (1981). "An overview of the relationships between mimicry and crypsis". Biological Journal of the Linnean Society. 16: 25–31. doi:10.1111/j.1095-8312.1981.tb01840.x.
mainly uses "class" but also uses type. I don't care but I think we should be consistent. Johnjbarton (talk) 01:23, 17 October 2025 (UTC)

Also the main source for the table is
Pasteur, G. (1982). A classification review of mimicry systems. Annual Review of Ecology and Systematics, 13, 169-199.
so that's another reason for "Classification: Johnjbarton (talk) 01:31, 17 October 2025 (UTC)
I don't particularly care either, nor for wooden "consistency", but I don't think starting hares running with a massive chapter heading that looks like Taxonomy is remotely a wise idea. As you say, the authors also use both terms. Chiswick Chap (talk) 04:10, 17 October 2025 (UTC)
To save messing about, I've tweaked the text. Chiswick Chap (talk) 07:59, 17 October 2025 (UTC)
I object to your implied insults in "I don't particularly care either, nor for wooden "consistency", but I don't think starting hares running with a massive chapter heading that looks like Taxonomy is remotely a wise idea." Be nice. Johnjbarton (talk) 14:54, 17 October 2025 (UTC)
