MIA3
Can I help you in regards to
MIA3? SamSailor 15:09, 25 January 2018 (UTC)reply
Yes Sir. Will it be possible to change the title of this page from MIA3 to MIA3/TANGO1? they are the same gene and people should be able to link them when searching any of both. User:mariaortb — Preceding

Hi again Maria. It's is kind of you to say "sir", but there is no need to. I am just an editor like yourself, and again: Welcome to English Wikipedia!
As I read
MIA3, TANGO1 is an alternative name, and short for "transport and Golgi organization protein 1". Instead of renaming
MIA3 to
MIA3/TANGO1, I have done what we normally do in these cases: created a redirect from
TANGO1 to
MIA3. This means, that if you click on
TANGO1, you will automatically be taken to
MIA3. Try it! Do you think this will work well for the readers? SamSailor 15:53, 25 January 2018 (UTC)reply
hi again Sam, and thanks for your help. TANGO1 is identified as a protein required for trafficking of collagens from the ER. Most of the work on this protein is related to its role in collagen export from the ER. MIA3 stands for melanoma inhibitory activity3. There is no evidence that this protein has any function per se in inhibiting melanomas. The term MIA3 is very confusing because the literature also contains MIA and MIA2. So, no one in the scientific community searches for MIA’s, but TANGO1 is a widely searched name and the first paper reporting this protein and its function in 2009 has been cited well over 100 times. The wikipedia by listing TANGO1 as MIA3 in fact lessens the impact of this particular protein. It would be better to list this as TANGO1, but if the editors prefers not to follow this route then please use TANGO1/MIA3. This was everyone will be able to access the information related to the TANGO1 gene. — Preceding

You may be perfectly right in what you say, but I know too little about the subject matter to weigh in. Could you go to
Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Molecular and Cell Biology, start a new section about it, and hear what other editors in the Project thinks about renaming the article to TANGO1? Please be sure to
sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:
Add four
tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment.
This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.
I will be watching your talk page here, and you can always ask questions at the
Wikipedia:Teahouse where many editors are ready to help. SamSailor 17:08, 25 January 2018 (UTC)reply
