Specific conventions

Creating a new page

  • In general, pages should start as either a syndrome (with a focus on the differential and workup) or a specific organism or disease
  • For specific diseases, start with the organism species name as the page title
    • If there are multiple diseases that it causes, each of which has a different pathogenesis or management, then they should be split off into separate pages
    • e.g. TB starts as M. tuberclosis, which links to separate pages for pulmonary TB, non-pulmonary TB, disseminated/miliary TB, DILI, etc.
