Ornithischians<\/a> were a major dinosaur<\/a> lineage<\/a> that existed from the Triassic<\/a>\u2013Jurassic<\/a> boundary interval to the end of the Cretaceous<\/a>. Since Ornithischia was recognized as a natural group, more than 300 taxon<\/a> names have been proposed to describe their evolutionary relationships, but many have been inconsistently applied or have fallen into disuse. This study reviews the historical use of these names and provides recommendations to ensure the consistency and stability of ornithischian nomenclature<\/a>.<\/p>
