==Introduction==
A microchaptered page is a page with sub-chapters created for more complex diseases and syndromes. The microchapters are listed in boxes on the right side of the disease homepage, and will link to specific areas of interest pertaining to the disease.  The templates listed below contain standardized language that will assist you in creating and editing your microchapters. Using templates maintains the completeness and consistency of Wikidoc pages, and allows users to have ease in navigating the site. To view and practice navigating a page with microchapters, click [[Pericarditis|here]] to see the page on pericarditis. To view a more extensively microchaptered page, click [[Chronic Stable Angina|here]] to see the page on chronic stable angina.
The following is a guide to creating your chapters and microchapters. A chapter is a collections of smaller chapters called microchapters. For instance, the disease pericarditis is a chapter composed of multiple microchapters such as pericarditis overview, pericarditis pathophysiology, pericarditis treatment etc. Microchapters allow users to access the content they are looking for more efficiently, allows ease in navigating the website, and maintains completeness and consistency of Wikidoc pages.  The templates listed below contain standardized language that will assist you in creating and editing your microchapters. Before getting started, it is important to get acclimated, and to learn some of the basics about formatting. Here is a checklist of things to do before creating your page:
 
# Make sure you have a login username and password. For help with logging in, click [[Help:Login|here]].
 
# View and practice navigating some pages with microchapters. To see a list of our best pages, type into the search box "Category:Best pages". Click [[Pericarditis|here]] to see the page on pericarditis. To view a more extensively microchaptered page, click [[Chronic Stable Angina|here]] to see the page on chronic stable angina.
==How To Create A Microchaptered Page==
# View a short video about creating pages. Look at the Getting Started video by clicking [[Getting Started Video|here]].
 
# Get acquainted with some basic formatting by clicking [[Help:How to Edit a Page|here]].
* First you need to search for the disease name of the page you are creating. If the page already exists, but is not microchaptered, you may create a new microchaptered page for the disease and then re-organize the old contents into a microchaptered page.
# Keep a few tabs of Wikidoc open on your browser while working, so you can reference this page and the other help pages such as the [[Cheat Sheet]] on the Wikidoc homepage frequently.
* If the disease page does not exist, you will create a new microchaptered page using the following directions. For example, if you were creating a page on jaundice that did not exist:
** First you need to go to the page [[WikiDoc disease template| WikiDoc Disease Microchapter Template]] which is listed on the home page under "Advanced Editing".
** Click on the edit tab, and copy all of the text in the edit box.
** Type into the main wikidoc search box "template:jaundice"
** Click on where it says "create the page template:jaundice on this Wiki".
** Click on the edit box, and paste all of the microchapter template information into the edit box.
** The top of the edit box has two blank boxes, the top one with binocular icons next to it, and the bottom one with red arrows next to it. In the top box put "type page name here", and in the bottom box type the name of the disease page you are creating.
** Click save at the bottom of the edit box.
** Click on the red arrows at the right side of the bottom box, and continue to click on it until you get to end of the edit box. This will put the disease name in all the microchapter boxes.
 
* Search in the Wikidoc search box for the disease name. Click on where it says "create the page jaundice on this Wiki".
 
* You would then type in the edit box <nowiki>[[Template:Jaundice]]</nowiki>


* Click save at the bottom of the edit box, and the main page should show the microchapters listed on the right side of the main page.

* Click on each heading / page name to go to the template page.
* At the beginning of each page is an introduction to guide you before starting the page. This is not part of the template.
* After that is the template for the page with the actual headings (and correct capitalizations) that you can use for your page. A brief description of what each section should entail is given under each heading.
**The way these headings are written, especially capitalization, are not suggestions. They are the precise way each and every heading should be presented. Consistency is the key.
* Insert the disease you are describing, wherever it says (disease name). If you are describing a condition or symptom, also insert it in place of where it says (disease name) and change the other headings accordingly.
* You may not always need to use all the headings in the page to describe a given disease.


* Then type in the microchapter template which you have created, which for jaundice would be written as <nowiki>[[Template:Jaundice]]</nowiki>
===[[Patient information page template]]===


* Hit enter once.
===[[Synonyms and keywords template]]===


* Then type in the template for the Editor-in-Chief, Dr. C. Michael Gibson, by typing in <nowiki>{{CMG}}</nowiki> into the edit box. The brackets around CMG are flower brackets. On the page it would appear as {{CMG}}.
===[[Overview template]]===


* You will then type in the edit box <nowiki>{{AE}}</nowiki> which will appear on the page as {{AE}}.
===[[Historical perspective template]]===


* Create a name template, if you have not done so already, using the following instructions:
===[[Classification template]]===
** Your name template will link to your user page, so the reader is able to find out a bit about who you are. You should have a user page which was created when you first logged in to WikiDoc. For instructions on creating a user page, click [[Help:Get Started Here!|here]].
** Type "Template:your initials" in the search box. If your name were John Doe, you would search for "template:JD". In the edit box, you would type <nowiki>[[User:John Doe|John Doe M.D.]]</nowiki>. On the left side of the vertical line in the square brackets, is the link to your user page. On the right side of the vertical line in the square brackets, is how you will want your name to appear at the top of the page. Click save.
**Then whenever John Doe M.D. wants his name to appear at the top of the page, with a link to his user page, he would just have to type in <nowiki>{{JD}}.
* The edit box for John Doe creating a page on Jaundice, would then look like this:


<nowiki>__NOTOC__ [[Template:Jaundice]]
===[[Pathophysiology template]]===


{{CMG}} {{AE}} {{JD}}</nowiki>
===[[Crowdiagnosis project template|Causes template]]===
