Pace the above thread, we are weaving a deal of very recent, unstable, and uncertain claims into the article as fact. Putting in a big long list of redlinked phyla, classes, orders and possibly even lower taxa makes no sense when the phyla themselves are uncertain (and that really is big-scale uncertainty, like saying we think it's a species of worm but we don't know if the annelids are a phylum or not). I've removed the worst of the taxojunk, and have listed the NCBI phyla: I don't really think we can do better until knowledge improves a bit. Chiswick Chap (talk) 15:02, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
As Eukaryotes appear to have emerged here, classical phyla, classes and orders will be impossible to incorporate without triggering taxonomic inconsistencies (as elsewhere). Jmv2009 (talk) 15:26, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Just realized that until last summer, this article had an established reference format for its authors of Last, First. Sure, a couple of errors had crept into the formatting, but that was how it was. Then, bang, an editor saw fit to shove the whole article into Vancouver. This is plainly contrary to policy, so I've put it back. I do hope not to see this happen anywhere else.
