Improving Mindat.orgQuestion on the heirarchical database

I suggest that when one clicks this button, MinDat should redirect them to the original (as in normal) page as the one that comes up is very incorrect and messed up as said above...

It's spelt how I spelt it on MinDat and I Presume it's derived from the word ''heir''.

it's from Greek "hierasthai" meaning "to be a priest". hierarchy might also have the meaning "priestly government"...
