Overview

The template of crowdiagnosis project is shown in this section and it can be copied for creating the causes page by going into the edit box.

• The overview section should include the disease name in the first sentence.
• The goal is to summarize the page in several sentences, and the section can be the same as the causes segment on the overview page.
• Confirm that the overview statement is in a text format and does not contain bullet points.
• Confirm that periods, commas and spaces are appropriately placed.
• Confirm that no text is bolded or italicized randomly in between the text.
• Make sure to check for spellings and grammatical errors thoroughly.
• Confirm that there are no floating periods and comas.
• Confirm that periods and comas are present before the start of references instead at the end to avoid floating periods and comas.
• Confirm that all the internal links work and there are no black links in between texts.
• Confirm that no links are created to same page.
• Make sure to create maximum internal links and for complete words, e.g,
  • Ventricular tachycardia – [[Ventricular]] [[tachycardia]] – not recommended
  • Ventricular tachycardia- [[Ventricular tachycardia]] – recommended

Life-Threatening Causes

Life-threatening causes include conditions which may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated.

• Life threatening causes do not include chronic conditions.
• Make sure to include the following definition underneath the subheading of every life threatening causes section: Life-threatening causes include conditions which may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated.
• The list of life threatening causes is arranged in alphabetical order.
• If the page's disease is itself life-threatening, do not add causes in the life-threatening causes section. Instead, write the following sentence under the subheading: Disease name is a life-threatening condition and must be treated as such irrespective of the causes. Life-threatening conditions may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated.

Common Causes

• This section is to outline the most common causes of the disease or condition you are describing.
• This can be done in a list form where causes are arranged in alphabetical order.

Causes by Organ System
