FAQs

Q: I created an account but cannot login?

A: After you sign-up, your request is sent to an administrator who must approve your request in order to start contributing. Please wait at least 24 hours for this to occur.


Q: I cannot see the sidebar on the microchapter assigned to me?

A: The sidebar is created if you made a "template page" for your chapter and then inserted that template into your chapter's page. For example, if you are working on "Diabetes mellitus", you should click create a new page then fill in "Template:Diabetes mellitus". You have now created the template page or sidebar page for Diabetes mellitus. Next, go to "Template:Xyz", click edit source from the top right of the page, select all and copy the code for the template. Next, paste this template code to the page you just created for Diabetes mellitus. Please remember to change "XYZ" to "Diabetes Mellitus" in every command before saving. After you click save, you have created your template page or sidebar page for "Diabetes Mellitus". Lastly, you will go to Diabetes Mellitus and in each microchapter section e.g. Historical perspective, causes, risk factors etc etc. you will write underscoreNOTOCunderscore doublebracketsstartDiabetes Mellitusdoublebracketsclose at the top of the page in edit source. The underscoreNOTOCunderscore doublebracketsstartDiabetes Mellitusdoublebracketsclose will make the sidebar or template page you created to appear on the right-hand side of the respective page.


Q: How do I upload an image to my chapter?

A: To upload an image, click "Upload a picture or File" located on the bottom of any page. This will take you through the steps necessary to upload a picture onto WikiDoc. Next, go to the page where you want the image, click edit source, bring cursor to the area where you want the image to appear and write this code: [[Image:Filename|400px|thumb|left|description of image and source]]
