Superphylum or Phylum?

I have found that recently these are considered as phylum. In this wiki species, https://species.wikimedia.org/wiki/Retaria, Cavalier-Smith (2002) stated that it's a phylum, and it seems that it more fits to other wiki articles. Since I'm not sure what guidance Wikipedia's taxonomy template follows, I just request for an edit here to reflect these. Or please explain me about what taxonomy project follows.

Hi Luke, to answer your question directly, the current taxonomy of Retaria on Wikipedia follows the latest publications of Cavalier-Smith such as this one, where Retaria is considered a phylum. The "superphylum", or more accurately infrakingdom, here would be Rhizaria, which Retaria is a part of.

For future reference, you can type in the url "en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Taxonomy/Retaria" (or whatever taxon you want instead of Retaria) and check out the taxonomic references that are used.

Hope this helps! ☽ Snoteleks ☾ 19:12, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
