New user guide (medpedia)[edit | edit source]

Intro[edit | edit source]

First of all, you should set up an account at wikilectures - done here. Then you can take a look at the site, that Dr. Vejražka shown us today here.

I will be very happy if you will be active and a) ask questions, b)try to come up with some ideas of your own.

I am looking forward to collaboration with you.


Copypastes new article on Anemia from https://web.archive.org/web/20130308073206/http://wiki.medpedia.com/Anemia.

Intro 2[edit | edit source]

Great. Youve done a good job.

We will later on deploy a template to append to all articles of medpedia origin so it is going to be clear where we got them. Right now just add at the bottom of the article this: [[Category:Medpedia]]. It will categorize this article along the others to http://www.wikilectures.eu/index.php/Category:Medpedia

How long did the whole transfer of the article take you?

Wikification[edit | edit source]

I checked your Anemia article. I took a brief look and there are two modification that could be done by you to make that article more valuable. First of all is wikification - means turning keywords into links leading to other wikilecture articles. I wikified for you the first paragraph, I think you can easily grasp the idea which words are to be linked. Mainly those that have or are expceted to have an article about them on wikilectures. You do the linking by marking the word and then pressing the "Link" icon looking like chains. Or you can use the Ctrl+K shortcut. It will change either the color to blue, meaning the article already exists or to red, meaning that the article doesn't exist yet, both are fine for us, blue are preferable. We don't want to flood the whole article with blue and red, so try not to pick common words such as oxygen, these would be found on encyclopedia such as wikipedia. Names of enzymes, symptoms or illnesses would be better picks.

Second is to get rid of links that lead to pages such as this - there is a link in Clinical trials section. It may contain useful information, but it will scare anyone away, if they would be led to such a page. If existence of the whole section after the removal of a link wouldn't make sense, then get rid of the whole section.

Then there are the references that need to be taken care of, but I will leave that to further lessons.

Wikification reminder and References[edit | edit source]

I have new things for you to learn . First of, take a look again at your first article Anemia - can you see the changes? There are many redlinks now - those are hyperlinks linking to nonexistent articles-to-be. I wikified the rest of the article, because I think there are going to appear (hopefully in the future) new articles on those topics and I am trying to facilitate the creation of them by new hyperlinks creation - now if anyone runs through your article and wants to contribute on one of the topics, he can create the article right away just by clicking on the redlink. And these redlinks will switch to regular hyperlinks (coloured blue) when the article by that name is created. You can have a look what I wikified by clicking on this link and wikify your new article in the same manner. In general you can say tht I am just way more generous with the links ;-)

Another part of the news concers categorization. I have created a new template Medpedia. Have a look, I explained the way you use the template at the template page. Place it at the same spot as I did in Anemia article. You dont have to manually add Category to your article now, it is added automatically by the template.

Third and last thing is the references. Have a look at this diff. I took the text of references (for example Angelillo-Scherrer A, Burnier L, Lambrechts D, et al. Role of Gas6 in erythropoiesis and anemia in mice. J Clin Invest. 2008;118:583-96.) and put it right in the article where the numbers in brackets were (for ex. [2]). You have to surround the text of the reference with <ref></ref> (easy way of doing it is by using the icon of the book at the top of the edit window while editing the source code). After you replace the numbers by the real texts (remove the "Abstract of Full text" at the end of the ref since we dont have the links to the actual abstracts or full texts) please place "</references>" below the === References === headline. Just that and nothing else. After you save such an article, the references will become active and you can click right from the article on the number and it will jump you to the appropriate reference at the bottom of the article.

I imagine I got you confused especially by the references, but stay cool and view the latest version of the anemia article, have a look at its source code, review the diffs I wrote about and I think you will get what I meant easily.

In case of unclear explanation or new questions please dont hesitate to ask. Cheers,

Multiple inline citations[edit | edit source]

For multiple use of the same inline citation, you can use the named references feature, choosing a name to identify the inline citation, and typing <ref name="name">text of the citation</ref>. Thereafter, the same named reference may be reused any number of times by typing just <ref name="name" />. So the syntax is a bit different from regular citation, but it makes it a lot easier when you reuse your sources.

Please see the changes in the article diff, I already applied these multiple citations for you calling them Zhou, YangP and Hellewel (first place authors).
