Move cosmetic genes to new page/subpage?

Such as Genes (cosmetic) or Genes/Cosmetic, with a link in Genes. Any objections?

If they stay on this page, I think they should be collapsed by default. There are already a lot and it's incomplete.

Some more info on cosmetic genes:

  • In the xenotype editor, the genes are split into these categories: Cosmetic, Cosmetic - body type, Cosmetic - hair, Cosmetic - skin. Natural skin colors do not appear in the editor. The reason hair and natural skin are currently missing from Genes is probably because they are defined in Core, not Biotech. I assume they are used for the skin and hair color of all characters even without the expansion.
  • None of them have any effect on complexity or metabolic efficiency (or any other non-cosmetic effects?). Saying "0, 0" on each one is probably unnecessary.
  • Furskin is a Miscellaneous gene that has both actual effects and cosmetic effects.

I don't really see a need to split the page. It makes it less intuitive for readers and editors. Its not like the page won't still be huge without them.

If content is missing though, then it should be added. The page is still somewhat under construction. There's basics for most genes but a lot isn't to standard.
