Hi Magnus, 'Ctenacodon' will presumably be renamed at same time or other, but I've no idea when. That's up to the author of the species.
Another difficulty is that "Ctenacodon Plagiaulacidae" doesn't and can't exist. In zoological nomenclature, each genus has to have a different name. It'd be incorrect.

Well, the quotes aren't actually correct either, are they? The stuff within the brackets is just what we do on Wikipedia to resolve naming conflicts, it isn't really a part of the article's "actual" name. I think we should find something along those lines to move this article to until the species gets a distinct name.

I waited a week and then went ahead and moved it. If a better solution develops it can always be moved again.

This article is really about a species ("C." brentbaatar), not a genus, which is part of the confusion. While it may have been originally described as Ctenacodon, it was considered a different family and unnamed genus by Kielan-Jaworowska & Hurum, 2001. Furthermore, between 2001 and 2008 brentbaatar was apparently assigned to the genus Morrisonodon , as mentioned in
Badiola et al, 2008. I'm not sure if Morrisonodon is a newly established monotypic genus or not, but this seems the likeliest place to discuss this heretofore "orphaned" species, and resolve this unappealing and confusing title.

Update: I've clarifed the article and moved it to Morrisonodon
