[[Periodic table#Structure|''Structure'']] section's Group nomenclature
Would it make sense to change the preferred nomenclature of Group in the Structure section from being Tetrels, Pnictogens etc. to being the far-more-commonplace Mendeleev (i.e. I–VIII ) style? Chumpih t 16:13, 2 February 2025 (UTC)
:The standard IUPAC group numbers 1 through 18 are already at the top. The ambiguities of the I-VIII style are discussed in the subsection Periodic table#Group names and numbers. Double sharp (talk) 01:44, 3 February 2025 (UTC)
Lutetium (Lu) should be treated as a lanthanide or a transition metal? What about Lawrencium (Lr), is it an actinide or a transition metal?
According to the Periodic Table from Wikipedia, the table is confusing. It appears to universally recognize Lu and Lr as transition metals, even though Lu could be a lanthanide and Lr could be an actinide, respectively. NaoHoi (talk) 08:22, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
:@NaoHoi This is discussed fully at Group 3 element and endlessly in earlier discussions on the talk page here (see archives). Mike Turnbull (talk) 11:08, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
::@NaoHoi, @Michael D. Turnbull: The discussion in the archives of this page are eclipsed by those at WT:ELEM. "Endlessly" may be an exaggeration, but not by much! YBG (talk) 16:04, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
