Proteopedia:Policy: Difference between revisions

Please make [[Topic pages]] if there is not yet one for your topic of interest. Pages titled with a [[PDB identification code]] are initially created automatically (<nowiki>'</nowiki>seeded<nowiki>'</nowiki>), and include the ''Publication Abstract from PubMed'' copied from the paper reporting the [[PDB]] entry. These seeded pages have a standardized format and we prefer it remain relatively constant so that they feature the pertinent information. However, topic pages are less constrained.  You may wish to begin by filling your topic page with the seeded page from a related structure. A topic page can be manually-created content. If you do write a better overview, feature it on the topic page and do not feel that the corresponding abstract(s) must remain. '''The abstract should remain on the seeded page though'''. We prefer you do your editing on topic pages and link to the appropriate seeded pages. Also, link the seeded page with the concerned PDB codes to your topic page; this is the exception for which we do encourage editing of the seeded pages. Your topic pages should feature prominently information important for non-specialists trying to understand the structure and function of the concerned macromolecules and these should be illustrated with 3D scenes which make Proteopedia unique from other wikis. If you have detailed information concerning the topic or structure, please place it in the page towards the bottom or make a separate page related to the more general topic.
