Add link to article "Physiological agonism and antagonism" and review Agonism/Agonist article naming
editCurrently this disambiguation page contains a link to the article "Agonism" (political philosophy) - from which I deduce that it is designed to disambiguate the subject "agonism"/"agonist" not merely the word "agonist". However, it contains no link to the article "Physiological agonism and antagonism" and it may be that this omission proceeds from the way in which the latter article has been titled. That is not to say that it could not be linked here with it's existing title, but for another reason, as well - that the specific subject of the article ought, where possible, to be the first word and qualification as to subject area ought to follow - it seems to me that a more encyclopaedic title would be "Agonism and antagonism (physiological)"
I am proposing that, to increase the usefulness of this page and the specificity/unambiguousness of the names of related articles, a set of coordinated changes is made:
1. Rename article "Physiological agonism and antagonism" to article "Agonism and antagonism (physiological)". 2. Rename article "Agonism" to article "Agonism (political philosophy)" or just "Agonism (philosophy)" or, possibly, "Agonism (politics)". 3. Rename article "Agonist" to article "Agonist (biochemical)". 4. Add a link to the (renamed) "Agonism and antagonism (physiological)" article in text describing the use of "agonist" in it.
Currently there are articles/redirects named . . . . . . . . . with link text in this disambiguation page:
- "Agon (Classical Greek)", . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . A person engaged in a contest or struggle (see agon)
- "Agonism", . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . An advocate of the political theory of agonism (or "agonistic pluralism")
- "Agonist", . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Agonist, a substance that binds to a receptor to induce a biochemical response
- "Inverse agonist", . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Inverse agonist, a substance that induces the opposite effect of an agonist

- "Agonistic behaviour", . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Agonistic behaviour, animal behaviour relating to conflict
My proposal is that this is changed to (new/changed material in olive):
- "Agon (Classical Greek)", . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . A person engaged in a contest or struggle (see agon)
- "Agonism (political theory)", . . . . . . . . . . . . . An advocate of the political theory of agonism (political theory) (or "agonistic pluralism")

Assuming there are no contrary opinions or improved suggestions within a couple of weeks, I'll go ahead and make these proposed changes.Hedles (talk) 00:37, 7 May 2019 (UTC)
