Question about dinosaurs with Generations

So only 8 creatures are split up by generations, but I don’t get why. The only one that makes sense to me is T.rex. What dictates a generation? Why do Giga and Lio get split up but not Utahraptor or Quetzal? And most importantly, how does the 2025 documentary play into this? Perhaps the former admins Lythronax and Collector1 know?

Maybe the current admins know? @Antiliun @11duckhunt (sorry for the notifications)

I asked again on Antiliun’s page, basically creature pages being split up by the 3 eras (OG, Movie, Reboot) was intended for all, but was only applied to these. He also said to split up the rest of the pages (which I’ll get around to tomorrow) and stuff for returning reboot creatures will be “X/2025” instead of “X/Generation 3”

Yep, pretty much what DinoBoi said.

@Ornithomimus65 It's just me, Duck, and Dinoguy. Eren retired not that long ago, and Thedark85 is inactive.

@DinoBoi6491 I forgot to mention this, but for any animal that first appeared in the Gen 2 era (e.g., Spinosaurus) and are returning for WWD 2025, name their Gen 2 page as "X/2013".
