== Split Missing Link ==
 
Current [[missing link]] redirects to [[Transitional fossil#Missing links]]. I propose to move this section's 5 paragraphs to a separate article because the content is distinct from the main article ([[WP:CONSPLIT]]). Particularly, the section about "missing links" is about the antiquated concept which transitional fossils replaced. I'm reminded of the distinction between [[abiogenesis]] and [[creation myth]], or [[theory of relativity]] and [[luminiferous aether]]. We have different articles about these because the former is scientific and the latter is not. A separate article for "missing link" might make it easier to categorize and reference, e.g., in [[:Category:Misconceptions]] or from the [[list of common misconceptions]]. --[[User:Beefyt|beefyt]] ([[User talk:Beefyt|talk]]) 06:00, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
