• Go to User:ProteinBoxBot/PBB_Log_Index
• Claim a log file for yourself by adding ~~~~ ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User%3AProteinBoxBot%2FPBB_Log_Index&diff=168542538&oldid=168542326 Example])

• Click on the log file link, then click on the link for the "Protein Status Grid"
• For each row (gene) in the table, check the Action Summary and find the correct section below.

• Click the link in the WP Symbol Search column to confirm that an existing page did not already exist. (If necessary, flag for merging.)
• If the created or updated page has the "(gene)" suffix, check if the page without the suffix is an existing gene stub. (If necessary, flag for merging.)
• Click the link in the Target page(s) column. If the gene name is short and simple, move the gene page to that gene name. (Moving, of course, will create a redirect from the gene symbol to the gene name.)

Find appropriate target page

• the "Target page(s)" column shows wikilinks to the gene symbol, name, and all aliases.
• if one of listed "Target page(s)" has “(protein box)” listed, then likely use that one (confirm Entrez Gene ID matches)
• if not, search all of WP for gene name using the link in the fourth column (confirm Entrez Gene ID matches)
• The Prefixindex page may also be helpful ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Prefixindex/CDK Example])
• if all else fails, create the page using the gene symbol, gene name, or common alias. (Preference should be given to gene names over symbols when a clear and succinct name is available.)

Update page

• In the protein grid, click the "Action Summary" link to view the auto-generated PBB content.
• if you are creating new page, then copy and paste all PBB content, save, then continue to next section below
• if existing page already has protein box, overwrite it with the PBB protein box ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=LMNA&diff=168546668&oldid=128914150 Example])
• preserve protein structure image if one already is displayed in protein box ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Interleukin_2&diff=168547957&oldid=161062158 Example])
• if there is little or no text, add the PBB_Summary section ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=LMNA&diff=168546946&oldid=168546887 Example])
• if there are few or no references, add the PBB_Citations section ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=LMNA&diff=168547055&oldid=168546946 Example])
• add PBB_Controls template to the top of page; adjust update flags as necessary ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=LMNA&diff=168547376&oldid=168547055 Example] [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Interleukin_2&diff=168548330&oldid=168547957 Example2])
• if there are no inline references, please add one linking the header line to Entrez Gene ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=ITPR1&diff=171671119&oldid=171572967 Example])
• this is a temporary measure only for log files created before Nov 15.

• Go to User:ProteinBoxBot/PBB_Log_Index
• Mark your log file as completed ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User%3AProteinBoxBot%2FPBB_Log_Index&diff=168542793&oldid=168542538 Example])

• Ensure that the gene symbol, gene title, and common aliases go to PBB gene page
• … unless gene symbol/title/alias is already taken by another page (homonym)
• For PBB to update, the ProteinBoxBox template must be at or redirected from one of the search terms, or be in the Protein Directory!
• If you're inspired, wikilink PBB gene page to other relevant articles, and wikilink from other relevant articles to the PBB gene page.

• Some pages for protein families have multiple protein boxes (e.g., cryptochrome). In those cases, I recommend creating a new gene-specific page with reciprocal wikilinking
• When in doubt, you can and should make a judgment call based on what you feel is best. I'd always trust human judgment over universal rules.
