Overview

This page lists all the frequently asked questions (FAQ) during editing of pages related to the Infectious Disease Project. Below every question is a suggested action.

FAQ 1: No references on pages

What to do: For the time being, do not edit/remove/add references that have an existing link. If the reference is a broken link, delete both 1) the reference and 2) the sentence that was cited using the reference.

FAQ 2: There is no page for the organism?

What to do:

  1. Check the spelling of the organism name.
  2. If you are being redirected, check that the organism is not already filed under the "Causes" microchapter.
  3. If both options 1 and 2 are not helpful, please send an email to any senior associate editor-in-chief to review your request.

FAQ 3: There is no page for the disease

What to do:

  1. If the organism page has only the basic information about the pathogen with no clinical content, then do NOT microchapter the page.
  2. If the organism page has clinical content, then check the length of the chapter:
  • If the chapter length ≥ 1.5 pages on an A4 length paper, create a microchapter for the disease.
  • If the chapter length < 1.5 pages on an A4 length paper, do NOT create a microchapter for the disease.

FAQ 4: How to name a disease page?

What to do:

  1. Search for the disease name using Wikipedia (e.g. Legionalla pneumophila is referred to as Legionellosis)
  2. If there is no standard disease name / the pathogen causes multiple diseaes, then create a new microchaptered page called: "[pathogen name] infection" (e.g. Staphylococcus aureus infection)

FAQ 5: There are no synonyms and keywords section

What to do:
Use the "synonyms and keywords" template: Synonyms and keywords: and list the synonyms after it AND make sure each synonym/keyword that you add is redirected to the page name.

FAQ 6: I searched on Wikipedia, their content is newer than the content on WikiDoc

What to do: For the time being, do not add content from Wikipedia to WikiDoc. On WikiDoc, all pages with Wikipedia content will eventually be replaced by medical-level content and will be peer-reviewed for quality check by a senior associate editor-in-chief.

FAQ 7: There are multiple organisms that cause the same disease

What to do:

  1. Use the new template on the top of the Home Page for that disease.
Example: Filariasis
This page is about clinical aspects of the disease. For microbiologic aspects of specific causative organisms: ::::{{Seealso|Brugia malayi}} ::::{{Seealso|Brugia timori}} ::::{{Seealso|Loa loa}} ::::{{Seealso|Mansonella ozzardi}}
  1. On the bottom of the Home Page, add the "Related Chapters" subheading after "Case Studies" subheading and list the same organisms that were listed above.
Example: Filariasis
:::*[[Brugia malayi]] :::* [[Brugia timori]] :::* [[Loa loa filaria]] :::* [[Mansonella ozzardi]]
  1. Do not redirect the Causes page, instead, add the "Related Chapters" tag also on the bottom of the Causes page.
Example Filariasis
:::==Related Chapters== :::* [[Brugia malayi]] :::* [[Brugia timori]] :::* [[Loa loa filaria]] :::* [[Mansonella ozzardi]]
  1. If the Causes page has a list of causes, make sure that the organisms you added are also listered in the Causes page.

FAQ 8: Page is not microchaptered

                 What to do: For the tie being, do not microchapter the page yourself. Inform any of the senior associate editor-in-chief of the issue.
  1. If the organism page has only the basic information about the pathogen with no clinical content, then do NOT microchapter the page.
  2. If the organism page has clinical content, then check the length of the chapter:
  • If the chapter length ≥ 1.5 pages on an A4 length paper, create a microchapter for the disease.
  • If the chapter length < 1.5 pages on an A4 length paper, do NOT create a microchapter for the disease.

FAQ 9: Page is empty

What to do: For the tie being, do not microchapter the page yourself. Inform any of the senior associate editor-in-chief of the issue.

FAQ 10: Old {{SI}} sidebar is present

What to do: Replace the {{SI}} sidebar with your microchapter sidebar {{DiseaseName}} (e.g. {{Filariasis}}
