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 senior associate editor-in-chief 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.
