Taxon presentation

edit

Why does Wikipedia's Taxon Box mix cladistic terms with the older 'KPCOFGS' presentation. While referencing the same facts, the 2 structures do not mix well, tho seeming to do so when 'boxed'. Perhaps better would be to have a different format tagged with a brief note on the differences when both are used.

You'd better discuss this on Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Tree_of_Life. Ruslik_Zero 20:07, 27 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
And doing so, it may help to give concrete examples of problems resulting from the use of KPCOFGS labels for clades.  --Lambiam 22:39, 27 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
