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:
- Check the spelling of the organism name.
- If you are being redirected, check that the organism is not already filed under the "Causes" microchapter.
- If both options 1 and 2 are not helpful, please send an email to any one of our deputy editor-in-chiefs to review your request.
FAQ 3: There is no page for the disease
What to do:
- If the organism page has only the basic information about the pathogen with no clinical content, then do NOT microchapter the page.
- 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:
- Search for the disease name using Wikipedia (e.g. Legionalla pneumophila is referred to as Legionellosis)
- 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 deputy editor-in-chief.
FAQ 7: There are multiple organisms that cause the same disease
What to do:
- 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}}
- {{Seealso|Brugia malayi}}
- This page is about clinical aspects of the disease. For microbiologic aspects of specific causative organisms:
- Example: Filariasis
- 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]]
- [[Brugia malayi]]
- Example: Filariasis
- 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]]
- [[Brugia malayi]]
- ==Related Chapters==
- Example Filariasis
- 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 one of our deputy editor-in-chiefs of the issue.
- If the organism page has only the basic information about the pathogen with no clinical content, then do NOT microchapter the page.
- 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:
- Refer to the "Patient Information" microchapter of the disease for the information you are looking for.
- If there is no "Patient Information" page, refer to the CDC (Centers for Prevention and Disease Control) page to obtain the information you are looking for.
- Make sure to cite the CDC page after you have used information from CDC for adequate attribution.
- If the information you are looking for is not present on either the Patient Information microchapter or the CDC page, communicate your concern with a deputy editor-in-chief, who can help you obtain the information you are looking for from reliable peer-reviewed medical journals. When citing medical journals, adequate citation is required to avoid plagiarism.
- To know what content should be available in each microchapter, refer to the Editor's Help Menu.

FAQ 10: Old {{SI}} sidebar is present
What to do: Replace the {{SI}} sidebar with your microchapter sidebar {{DiseaseName}} (e.g. {{Filariasis}})
===FAQ 11: Multiple diseases for one organism===What to do:#Create a microchaptered page called "[DiseaseName] infection" (e.g. Staphylococcus aureus infection).
