Fics :

                                Chess
                                /   \
                               /     \
                              /   Normal chess
                             /
                            /
                     Chess variants
                         /   \     \
                        /     \     \
                       /       \     \
                      /         |     \
                    Wild     suicide  bughouse ....

ICC :


                                Chess
                                /   \
                               /     \
                              /   Normal chess
                             /
                            /
                          Wild
                         /   \
                        /     \
                       /       \
                      /         |
                    Wild-5    Wild-23(crazyhouse)  ...


It is a matter of definition. You answered with ICC in mind, I with Fics.

I prefer Fics for the Variants, competition in suicide, crazyhouse, bughouse and
wild5 is better IMVHO.

Georg :)
