Template talk:Infobox gene

Template-protected edit request on 9 February 2022
This template generates a lint error (missing italics end tag) for several articles, including PPP2R3A, BDP1, and PPP2R3C. Judging from the above thread, the template has had lint errors for more than a year. 🐔dat (talk) 11:43, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Gnarly challenge., I looked at the Linter list for mainspace and found that the missing end tag error is caused by several different infoboxes on different article pages. How do we tell if it's Infobox gene or if it's the main Infobox used to generate the more specific iboxes? If the problem is in the Infobox template, fixing it could erase a good many errors in the Linter list. As for the table error in the previous discussion, that appears to have been fixed by converting to Lua, since I cannot find that code in Module:Infobox gene. Curious situation, and while there are presently over 5 million pages with the "missing end tag" error (a low priority Linter error) it's still worth pursuing imho.  P.I.

 * I may have the answer. PPP2R3A is in the B  alpha family, but in one place in the infobox (the Aliases column), they forgot to put the nowiki tags in, so it shows as Balpha.'' (except without the closing italics tag) However, I'm not sure how to change that, since the code for the visual rendering is somewhere else. 🐔dat (talk) 11:03, 10 February 2022 (UTC)
 * PPP2R3A just disappeared from Special:LintErrors. 🐔dat (talk) 11:42, 10 February 2022 (UTC)
 * I already addressed this question at the Module talk page. I'm not sure why is posting this problem again and did not ping me. – Jonesey95 (talk) 14:59, 10 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Well, the lint error did get fixed this time. 🐔dat (talk) 10:53, 11 February 2022 (UTC)

Problem with chromosome information-related ENSEMBL links
I've checked a couple of cases, and ENSEMBL links are currently directing to a non-existent archive page. For instance, for BRCA1, citation 1 associated with the Chromosome 17 location in the Infobox Gene instance points at http://may2017.archive.ensembl.org/Homo_sapiens/Gene/Summary?db=core;g=ENSG00000012048, which redirects to https://useast.ensembl.org/Help/ArchiveRedirect?src=http%3A%2F%2Fmay2017.archive.ensembl.org%2FHomo_sapiens%2FGene%2FSummary%3Fdb%3Dcore%3Bg%3DENSG00000012048 in my case, which contains the hatnote "The Ensembl Archive you tried to reach is not available." Likewise for Reelin. I looked around a bit to see if I could determine where the link pattern might have been implemented but could not find that.

Have you suggestions of where to look or take this inquiry to? It no doubt impacts thousands of articles.

Need an image "off" override to save float:right real estate
There is a point when there are just too many pics of the same protein floating to the right of a page. Like, feast your eyes on Special:PermanentLink/1135709726 and see how bad the right side sags compared to the text (on Vector 2022 at least; figures that 2010 would have a sag but might catch up faster due to more text width). And it's all the same DHFR with basically the same ribbon carton from some vertebrate animal, mostly with some representation of the ligands stuck in.

I mean, I could trim off the other pics, but there would still be too many since you still need a pic with a colored Met20 loop and a pic with the conformational change, maybe another pic for the Pfam box to say which is which. The most useless one is probably the pic that takes no caption, which is our genebox here.

(We could also allow |image and |image_caption overrides. Then I can just stick 1x1.png in there. That works too.) Artoria2e5 🌉 17:39, 21 February 2023 (UTC)

You know what works too? If there's something to force Orthologs to always collapse. Sigh. --Artoria2e5 🌉 17:53, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
