Hi Andrew, I have been playing with your gene ontology content in the template. Hope you don't mind. I have created a master list of the gene ontology functions rather than having a separate page for each element. This should make things simpler. I added a hyperlink as link to each function but we could probably find something more elegant. Hope you like the changes. David D. (Talk) 18:58, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Brilliant, thanks David. I noticed you were playing around with the templates, and I've been trying to "follow along" (frequent reloads). I saw a method to your madness (and I knew the way I implemented the GO index was ugly), and agreed, I like your new structure better. Thanks for the contribution! I like they way ITK (gene) is coming together! AndrewGNF 19:16, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Need to take a break here. I can't figure out how to stop the link being preceeded by a double line break for the gene ontology info. I'll have another crack at it in a while. Glad you like it. David D. (Talk) 19:52, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, weird. Nothing obvious to me why those paragraph breaks appear like that, and it looks like from your edit comments you've tried everything that I'd try. Hmm, rather than beat our heads against this too much, what do you think about going back to the form where the function name is hyperlinked (rather than having that plain text and hyperlinking a superscripted "link" tag)? Maybe we can even convert it to a bulleted list... Thoughts? AndrewGNF 20:30, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
Actually the first thing i tried was to hyperlink the whole name and that seemed to be incompatible. Instead of the GO blue linked it gave the whole http long address too. I think we need to play around with the pretein taxobox template. I'll set up a tempory one in CZ, or here, so we can play around without distrupting the other protein pages. I like the bullet idea too. David D. (Talk) 20:56, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
Got it, just started playing around with it. Must have imagined it that it was working at some point. Anyway, I just started playing around with the GNF_GO template. But I'm off to a meeting now for a while so feel free to revert back to your previous working stage. Otherwise, I'll play more in an hour or so... AndrewGNF 20:59, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
Oh, how do you do temporary templates? It seems like there should be the equivalent of "preview" for templates... AndrewGNF 21:00, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
Finally found the problem. When i annotated the master lsit i included two spaces before the <noinclude> this was then introduced into the taxo box. Once i fixed the master list everything worked as expected. Good thing i took a break rather than banging my head against the wall. Amazing how taking a step back allows you to see the real problem.
As far as template are concered you can preview them but it does not always help ypou know what it will look like on the page iteself. Especially when you are dealing with nested templates. David D. (Talk) 21:13, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
Brilliant! The page looks great now. Thanks! AndrewGNF 21:42, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
