Under the section titled "evolution" in the sentence "One branch would evolve into cetaceans, possibly beginning about 52 million years ago, with the protowhale Pakicetus and other early whale ancestors collectively known as Archaeoceti." Only the "52" in "52 million years ago" is highlighted and linked to a timeline. For constancies sake along with more pleasing formatting, change to include all of "52 million years ago" within the link as opposed to just "52". RawryUwU (talk) 17:39, 23 January 2024 (UTC)

 Not done: The requested change would require a modification to the {{mya}} template. See that template for documentation. - UtherSRG (talk) 18:06, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
