Well, I have changed the subphylum to Asterozoa because that is what the source, WoRMS, states but then I had to change other articles to be consistent. The trouble is that taxonomy is always evolving, WoRMS changes and the whole thing is unsatisfactory. The article Asterozoa now does not agree with WoRMS but it has an automatic taxobox and is more difficult to adjust. I wish I hadn't started. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:31, 29 October 2018 (UTC)

@Cwmhiraeth:. I'm glad you did start. I found it interesting. Evolving terminology is also a problem in medicine. Thanks Whispyhistory (talk) 20:16, 29 October 2018 (UTC)
