Clade or Unranked?
There are three listed clades on the template where typically, the rest of the templates on Wikipedia use the term (unranked). Is there a difference here or does it matter?  A. Z. Colvin  •  Talk  23:38, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I believe WP:PLANT uses "clade" whereas WP:ANIMAL uses "unranked, but I'm reposting your question at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Plants since I'm not a botanical editor. Bob the WikipediaN (talk • contribs) 23:53, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
 * See my comment at Template talk:Taxobox - essentially, it's a quirk of the difference between manual and automatic taxoboxes. But it's correct either way: APG III system clades above order are true clades, but they're not given formal ranks, so they're also "unranked." Perhaps we should keep the discussion in one place?
