I think this template would be fine if the fossil taxa were removed. There are numerous severe issues with the fossil taxonomy, notably:
- 1. †Podozamitaceae is a group of conifers, see Podozamites, not cycad relatives
- 2. Noeggerathiopsidales i.e Noeggerathiopsis is a thought to have affinities with the cordiatales, see [1]
- 3. The Voltziales is too small, and should includes most of the taxa included in the other conifer orders like Walchiales and Ullmanniales.
- 4. the placement of Petriellales in the Ginkgoidae has only been made in one paper [2] but I hardly see how this has consensus.
Overall, the taxonomy of fossil seed plants is so contentious that I would advise just removing all of them. Hemiauchenia ( talk) 03:56, 26 March 2023 (UTC)
