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]]
Q: How do I hyperlink a term?
A: In order to hyperlink a term, select the term that you want to hyperlink, then press Ctrl+K (alternatively, you can also click the 🔗 Hyperlink button located on visual edit). This will show you the pages that exist on WikiDoc corresponding to the term that you want to hyperlink.
Q: I cannot hyperlink a term?
A: If you cannot hyperlink a term, it may have two possible causes. The first one is that a page for that term does not exist on WikiDoc. The second reason, which is the more common of the two is that a page for the term exists but is named differently; for example, consider the following sentence: Hypertrophy of the left ventricle may lead to the following EKG changes... Note that a page for "left ventricular hypertrophy" exists but since you wrote "hypertrophy of the left ventricle", the platform is unable to detect your combination of terminologies. Therefore, if such a case occurs, try changing the terminology combination to match existing pages.
Q: I inserted an image on a page and after saving the page footer (References heading) is not formatted properly and appears next to the image. How to fix this?
A: Click edit source, bring the cursor to the line below the command for image. Write the following code <br style="clear:left">
Q: How do I generate a reference from DOI?
A: Click "Editors Help Menu" located on the bottom of any page. Scroll down to "How to Edit A Page" and click "References". Scroll down to and click "DOI Wikipedia reference generator". Paste the DOI address and click load.
Q: How do I generate a reference from a URL?
A: Click "Editors Help Menu" located on the bottom of any page. Scroll down to "How to Edit A Page" and click "References". Scroll down to and click "Wikipedia template filling". Paste the URL and click the drop down menu where it says "PubMed ID". Select URL from the drop down menu. Check "Add ref tag" and click submit. This will generate a reference code which you can use.
Q: How do I create redirects for my chapter?
A: Creating a redirect: For example, to create a redirect so that someone searching for the synonym Alport syndrome would be directed to the hereditary nephritis page, type Alport syndrome into the main search box on Wikidoc. If the page has not been created, it will say "There were no results matching this query". Click where it says "create the page Alport syndrome on this Wiki!", which will take you directly to the edit box.

Q: Why can't I see the right side table of divisions/microchapters on my page?
A: Open the page in question, click on "edit source" and make sure the command box starts with "__NOTOC__" followed by "page title" enclosed in curvy brackets in the second line. This command translates into the table of divisions/microchapters for the page in question.
