Supergroups are obsolete
This navlist is basically obsolete, relying on a taxonomic attempt to force all eukaryotes into 8 "supergroups", something that quickly came to be seen as artificial, creating paraphyletic groupings. We shouldn't be propagating this in what is apparently 1000 places across Wikipedia.

That one is actually a clade, unlike a lot of the other stuff which needs to be consigned to the bin marked "
R". The problem for this navlist is that the 8 "supergroups" have been replaced by many smaller clades, the Diaphoretickes and the Amorphea being the two large exceptions.

We don't have subsidiary navboxes for Diaphoretickes and Amorphea (just ordinary articles). I'll put them in as placeholders for now. Also, "Hacrobia" is also probably paraphyletic.
