But they're not reptiles, they're reptiliomorphs.

Nope... Synapsid reptiles...

But The Taxinomicon says that Reptilia and Synapsida are two divergent clades under Amniota.

Yes, and mammalian reptiles like Syodon are on the Synapsida branch.

Eh, there's some debate as to whether Synapsida is a subclade of Reptilia or are a sister group, apparently. I'm more inclined to believe the latter, as until recently, I was unaware of said debate.

Amniota is divided into two classes: Synapsida and Sauropsida (= Reptilia), unless you were reading David Peters...

Correct. And no, I've never read David Peters.
