Clade Citation:
• Is this is for previous application of the name to a clade approximating the one to which it is being tied, or is it for the formal definition of the name (the publication for which the name is being registered)? This needs to be clarified. If it is for the former, perhaps it could be linked to the relevant PhyloCode article—which seems to be 9.15 in version 5. We would also need to add the latter (reference for the formal definition of the name, unless that is what the field is for). If it is for the latter, then we should probably add the former—but only for pre-existing names. Also, the designation should be changed to “Reference for Phylogenetic Definition”. • If our interpretation of this section is correct, the section is needed only for converted names, so ideally it would not be displayed for new clade names or at least indicated as “not required” for those names (and indicated as required for converted clade names).
