Please avoid using titles for new [[Topic pages]] that will not be meaningful to non-specialists. For example, titles that are specialist acronyms such as [[SGAP]], [[Cyt2Ba]], [[Nqo1]], and [[VirE1/VirE2]] will not be meaningful to most users of Proteopedia. Using the ''move'' tab, these pages have been retitled. When a page is moved (renamed), a [[Help:Editing#Redirecting_One_Page_to_Another_Page|redirect page]] is automatically created from the old title -- therefore searching for the old title will still find the page with the new title. That is why clicking a link such as [[SGAP]] goes to the longer and more generally meaningful title. You will see that there is a note, just below the title, that you have been redirected.

==Please Don't Delete Abstracts Off The Pages Titled With PDB Codes==
Pages titled with a [[PDB identification code]] are initially created automatically, and include the ''Publication Abstract from PubMed'' copied from the paper reporting the [[PDB]] entry. Even if you write a better overview of the paper or the structure, please do not remove the published abstract. It is OK to put manually-created content first, leaving the published abstract at the bottom of the page.

Even if you write a better overview of the paper or the structure, please do not remove the published abstract. It is OK to put manually-created content first, leaving the published abstract at the bottom of the page; however, you should not be editing the pages titled with a PDB identification code anyway. 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. If you do write a better overview, feature it prominently on the topic page and do not feel you need to have the corresponding abstract(s).
