The 33 pages that link to Dinosaur, each with the reason it gives.

• Permian–Triassic extinction eventRelated: The extinction reorganized terrestrial ecosystems long before dinosaurs became dominant.

• TheropodaNarrower topic: Theropoda is one major branch of Dinosauria.

• TriassicNarrower topic: The group's origins fall within this period, though dinosaurs did not immediately dominate.

• ArchaeopteryxNarrower topic: Its classification as a dinosaur is central to understanding the fossil’s mixed anatomy.

• MesozoicNarrower topic: Dinosaurs diversified on land throughout much of the Mesozoic.

• JurassicNarrower topic: Dinosaurs diversified into varied forms during Jurassic terrestrial ecosystems.

• Feathered dinosaurNarrower topic: Feathered dinosaurs are a subset of Dinosauria, not a separate major branch.

• Late TriassicNarrower topic: Dinosaurs originated before the Late Triassic ended and survived its terminal extinction.

• LizardCompared with: Despite both being reptiles, dinosaurs and lizards belong to separate major lineages.

• TriceratopsNarrower topic: This broader group places Triceratops among Mesozoic land vertebrates.

• Dinosaur locomotionNarrower topic: Locomotor differences across this broad group frame comparisons among dinosaur bodies.

• ArchosaurBroader topic: Dinosaurs became one of the most varied and enduring archosaur branches.

• Temporal fenestraBroader topic: Dinosaurs inherit the diapsid temporal skull pattern.

• ParaphylyBroader topic: Using dinosaur for extinct forms alone excludes living avian descendants.

• SynapsidaCompared with: Dinosaurs belong to the sauropsid side of amniote evolution, not Synapsida.

• DimetrodonCompared with: Dimetrodon lived before dinosaurs and belonged to a different vertebrate lineage.

• Ischigualasto FormationNarrower topic: The formation provides evidence about dinosaurs near the beginning of their history.

• ReptiliaBroader topic: Dinosaurs exemplify the extensive evolutionary radiation within reptilian archosaurs.

• CentrosaurusNarrower topic: Centrosaurus was one member of this larger Mesozoic radiation.

• PelycosaurCompared with: Pelycosaurs predate dinosaurs and belong to a different amniote lineage.

• DimorphodonCompared with: Dimorphodon was a flying reptile, not a dinosaur, despite often being grouped with dinosaurs in popular culture.

• HerrerasaurusNarrower topic: Herrerasaurus is among the earliest known dinosaurs.

• LiopleurodonCompared with: Liopleurodon lived alongside dinosaurs but belonged to a separate marine reptile lineage.

• Mokele-mbembeNarrower topic: Modern portrayals often cast Mokele-mbembe as a surviving dinosaur, though reports do not establish that identity.

• KentrosaurusNarrower topic: Kentrosaurus was one member of this larger evolutionary group.

• ArizonasaurusCompared with: Despite its archosaur ancestry and sail-backed silhouette, Arizonasaurus was not a dinosaur.

• DilophosaurusNarrower topic: This broader group includes Dilophosaurus and its theropod relatives.

• EffigiaCompared with: Effigia looked dinosaur-like but was not a dinosaur.

• Evolution of reptilesBroader topic: Dinosaurs dominated many terrestrial ecosystems and left a living branch in birds.

• Extinction eventRelated: The end-Cretaceous event eliminated non-avian dinosaurs while birds survived.

• LeaellynasauraNarrower topic: Leaellynasaura is one member of this diverse reptile group.

• TherizinosaurusNarrower topic: Therizinosaurus is one specialized branch within dinosaur diversity.

• Triassic–Jurassic extinctionRelated: The extinction removed competing archosaurs and helped dinosaurs become dominant on land.
