Bad merges have been mentioned a couple of times recently and I think
one of the contexts with Ben's gene/protein work.
I think there are two general issues here which could be improved:
- Merging is too easy. Because splitting/unmerging is much harder than
merging, particularly after additional edits, the process should be biased to mark merging more difficult.
A technical solution could be to prevent merging of two items (or at
least, show a warning), if one of the items links to the other.
That is already happening.
