[edit] DNA barcoding?

Why is DNA barcoding part of this template? It has nothing to do with phylogenetics. --Aranae 17:22, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

For several reasons. You can't really talk about PhyloCode without mentioning DNA barcoding. DNA barcoding is an application of phylogenetic principles. But if you're still unhappy, we can replace this template with a "systematics" one, in which all taxonomy-related articles clearly would have a place. - Samsara (talkcontribs) 20:07, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
I do see your point that it pertains to taxonomy and thereby, indirectly, to phylogenetics. I am content with that. I have absolutely no idea what you could mean in stating that DNA barcoding pertains to PhyloCode, but that's certainly not important to their inclusion on the template. --Aranae 21:42, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
