Remixing

From Proteopedia

Remixing refers to assembling a text from multiple sources. You might want to make a page about the citric acid, and want to incorporate 3D scenes from existing articles on the individual enzymes.

Remixing text

You can either copy and past text without formatting, or go into the edit tab and copy formatted text. Which method you use depends on how much of the original formatting is useful for the new text. If you do go into the edit tab, make sure you cancel out of it when you are done copying so you don't inadvertently change the source articles.

Remixing 3D scenes

To remix a 3D scene, you need to know the name of the underlying state script. Again you can go into the edit tab of your source, but here is another way that sometimes is easier: 1. Click on the green link 2+3. Open a Jmol console if it is not open already 4. Show the history 5. Go from the bottom of the history to the closest line (often 4 lines up, above "set refreshing true") that contains a script (URL contains "/wiki/scripts"). Note down the name and number of the script, along with the name of the page.

These steps are shown graphically below.

Then, go to the scene authoring tool (SAT) of your new page, and load the scene. Modify it if you need, add a caption, and save it under a name that makes sense in the new context.
