i think this request needs to be clarified a bit. taxa in iNat are already categorized into 14 “iconic taxa”. in some parts of the system, you can find all 14 iconic taxa represented, such as in the Edit Observations screen. however, in the web versions of the Explore and Identify screens, only 12 of the 14 iconic taxa are included in the filters. (“other animals” and chromista are missing.) so i believe the request is asking for the additional 2 iconic taxa to be added to the filters in the web Explore and Identify screens. (i don’t think this request is asking for additional iconic taxa beyond the ones that already exist or otherwise changing the ones that already exist. reorganizing or additing new iconic taxa is covered in another request: https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/make-crustaceans-and-myriapods-iconic-taxa/996 .)
