is problematic at first looks.
Bacteria, prokaryotes, monera and eukaryoates as sister groups on the same level? Prokaryotes contain as only subtaxon Archaea (but no bacteria)?
Also, the mixed use of scientific and common names (variously as singular or plural) is rather confusing.

That's exactly why Lucie made the tool ;-) It is only a reflection of the data in Wikidata. So if it is wrong in the tree it is wrong in Wikidata and should be fixed.
Cheers Lydia
