This doesn't appear useful, and is certainly a transition I've never encountered before. Could you explain the purpose of this? |→ Spaully₪† 19:06, 24 May 2007 (GMT)
This template is biased towards biology. While it may be useful when placed in an article about organisms, cells, or organelles, it seems arbitrary when you put it on an article about molecules and smaller entities. For example, one can wonder why the scale is not something like universe -> galaxy -> solar system -> planet -> ... -> quark. ;-) --Itub 10:23, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
Too arbitrary I think. Especially so on non-biology pages. Perhaps a biology specific version could be kept, something like 'levels of complexity in biology', starting with biomolecule and going up to biosphere or something like that? Richard001 10:53, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
The "Country→State or Province→City, Village, or Town→Neighborhood→Residence→Familly" part should be removed from what is proposed because it is too socio-political, and also, having star system instead of Solar system would be better to make it less anthropocentric. --193.198.16.211 (talk) 13:19, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
Instead of using an arrow, indicating "to", couldn't one use a ">" indicating that the preceeding particle is greater than the following? — Lasse Havelund (p · t · c) 18:28, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
Here would be a possible way to present the complete hierarchy of everything; yes, it is very arbitrary and biased at many points (and it wouldn't seem very logical to include this with the name "Into matter" since it goes beyond that into social concepts such as "Familly" and abstractish concepts such as "Absolute" and "Everything"). The point is that I couldn't think of another way of linking everything/presenting the hierarchy of everything, whilst involving as many "stopping points"/"hierarchy levels" as possible; perhaps this could serve as a seperate template and/or could be improved in some way. I believe that presenting a hierarchy of everything could be useful for giving people reading Wikipedia an idea on how vast "everything" is, and how insignificant stages of the hierarchy tend to get as we "zoom out".
So, here it is:
Everything > Plane of existence > Omniverse > Multiverse > Universe > Filament > Supercluster > Cluster > Galaxy > Star system > Planet > Continent > Country > State or Province > City, Village, or Town > Neighborhood > Residence > Familly > Organism > Organ system > Organ > Tissue > Cell > Organelle > Molecule > Atom > Subatomic particle (Composite particle . Elementary particle)
