Would a wombat and a platypus be considered rodents?

According to this site they are trying to 'save the wombats'. They are protected by law except in Victoria Australia where they are considered pests because they destroy rabbit proof fences.
Platypus like wombats are on the IUCN Red List as Least Concern. They are found on Australian postage stamps, nothing in the article point to it as a rodent
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platypus

From the wombat site: " Also known as the course-haired wombat, the common wombat is the largest burrowing mammal and the second largest marsupial averaging 90-115 cm (35-45 in.) in length".
From the platypus site: " duck-billed platypus is a semiaquatic egg-laying mammal "
So no, they are both mammals, not rodents.

The platypus and wombat are both marsupials. Marsupials and rodents are different branches of the mammal family. Rodents are not marsupials. Marsupials are not rodents.

The two varieties of mammal have many differences, which are outlined in this article

See the platypus reference again. The platypus is NOT a marsupial. It is a monotreme. It is an egg-laying mammal

Platypus is indeed a monotreme, not a marsupial (I had a brain fade.) Marsupials, monotremes and rodents are three different branches of the mammal family.

From the articled I referenced

"Modern mammals are categorized into three major groups; Monetremes, Marsupials, and Placental mammals. Monotremes are the egg-laying mammals, which includes the duck-billed platypus and two species of echidna. Marsupials are also called pouched mammals. Placental mammals use a placenta to nourish their embryos throughout their entire development in the uterus. There are 17 orders of placental mammals. All the rodents are placental mammals and placed in the Order Rodentia."
