Explanation reverted merge

[edit]

I reverted the merging of FCER1A with this article for the following reasons:

  • Logically, if we merge FCER1A, we would also need to merge MS4A2 into this article.
  • Both FCER1A and MS4A2 contain {{GNF_Protein_box}} templates.
  • Including two {{GNF_Protein_box}} templates plus one {{protein}} template in the same article would produce an excessively long article page. (At some point in the future a GNF_Protein_box template for FCER1G may also be produced which would make the problem even worse.)
  • There are automatic mechanisms for updating GNF_Protein_box content which assume there is only one template per article. While I am not 100% sure, I believe the automatic update mechanism would break if there are two GNF_Protein_boxes in the same article.
  • In contrast with GNF_Protein_box templates, the protein templates are relatively short so that three can be included in the same article without overwhelming the rest of the content. In addition, the protein templates provide clear links to the individual gene articles.
  • While the individual gene/protein articles do not yet contain a lot of detail, they could in the future include specific information (e.g., mutations, SNPs, disease linkage, etc.) which would be unique to each gene.
