I guess there are two things that most immediately strike the eye here. The first is the absence of any mention of the Asgard archaea, which are obviously of extreme interest for their relationship to the Eukaryota. The second is the exceptional number of redlinks. These are deprecated in a navigation box, for the obvious reason that they cannot be navigated to. While the highest level groupings like superphyla may perhaps be acceptable, the redlinked classes and orders are not, as they make the navbox extremely large (basically a full screen on many devices) and nearly entirely unusable. These changes are important, and the current structure is both clearly unsuitable and against policy, so I shall make the basic changes immediately. As for more detailed updates to nomenclature, it would be desirable to check and correct the group names (Halobacteria is obviously Haloarchaea, for instance), but those changes can be made as and when.
