MEpedia:Suggested tasks

This page lists suggestions for improvements to MEpedia.

Please feel encouraged to consider making the relevant page or edit yourself (see How to contribute to get started!), as many editors of MEpedia are sick and working hard to improve the content in particular areas. We need your help!

But if you can't make the improvement yourself, add your suggestion to the end of the appropriate section. Please briefly detail your suggestion, including the name of the MEpedia page(s) that need creating or editing, and web links to sources/citations (e.g., the published study, a source for a quote, etc.) Then sign your suggestion with your name and the date.

Tip: If you'd just like to keep track of your own goals on site (but make them visible to others), instead of adding suggestions here you can add a subpage to your user page (add a "/" and subpage, e.g., User:Brettz9/To-dos) and then add the category to your subpage article. It will then show up at Category:User to-dos.

Priority pages for expansion

 * Science: Citric acid cycle, Central nervous system, Nitric oxide hypothesis, Brain, Brain imaging, Microbiome hypothesis, PACE trial
 * Portals: Portal:Treatments, Portal:Pathogens, Portal:Cardiovascular system

High priority
When a task is complete move it to the COMPLETED section at the bottom of the page
 * High usage page Esther Crawley needs a cleanup including improving citations, adding missing citations, and marking any extra citations needed. notjusttired (talk) 18:57, May 24, 2019 (EDT)
 * High usage page Fibromyalgia needs a cleanup, mostly adding citations meeting the Science guidelines
 * Female predominant diseases: complete this table of gender ratio + prevalence for chronic illness: Female predominant diseases (will likely be used in advocacy and outreach efforts)
 * Add photos of ALL the May (and Belfast in June) Millions Missing protests to the MM page http://me-pedia.org/wiki/Millions_Missing_protests
 * Add the Stats.org editorial & 7,000 word criticism to the PACE page :
 * Make sure that all the specific significant criticisms they make are covered in the Criticism section if not already
 * (IN PROGRESS) Include (and explain) this chart from article https://twitter.com/Katiissick/status/713080268756619264
 * Categorize all uncategorized pages (list of uncategorized pages here: http://me-pedia.org/wiki/Special:UncategorizedPages)
 * Add a portal on Wikipedia for CFS or umbrella (e.g., auto-immune-related conditions), bringing more awareness and contributions on Wikipedia (also through subpages, such as "B cells and CFS"), and which we could reference here
 * CREATE AND POPULATE PAGES FOR genitourinary impairment (ICC requirement)  neuroendocrine (CCC requirement) and Ion, part of the Ion transportation page which could use more work (ICC requirement).
 * Also, Energy metabolism portal needs more work. Should Metabolic and Metabolomics be included and explained, as a selected article? How about Metabolic features of chronic fatigue syndrome? And exactly what is being defined on the ICC page with the Energy metabolism portal? I can figure out how they correlate and if I can't, how can a patient, caregiver, and even doctors?
 * Bacterial disease onset is a stub that needs to be populated and Viral onset hypothesis is in need of cleanup, specifically citations.
 * A research portal would may prove very popular Portal:Research suggested by Notjusttired 18:57, May 24, 2019 (EDT)

Admin suggestions
When a task is complete move it to the COMPLETED section at the bottom of the page
 * Rewrite MEpedia:About according to the ideas raised on MEpedia talk:About. (Requested by Pyrrhus April 2019)
 * Finish writing the MEpedia:Admin guide to keep track of what a new admin needs to know. Consider making the Admin guide protected so that only admins can edit it.(Requested by Pyrrhus April 2019)
 * Review the copyright messages contained in MediaWiki:Wikimedia-copyrightwarning and MediaWiki:Wikimedia-copyright. Also update the help documentation in MEpedia:Copyright to reflect our copyright policies.  (Requested by Pyrrhus April 2019)
 * Create Privacy policy - it's linked to from bottom of all pages. Add it to “MEpedia documentation” category.  See Talk:Wmf:Privacy policy for details. Make it protected so that only admins can edit it.  Also create a redirect from MEpedia:Privacy policy to Privacy policy.  (Request last updated by Pyrrhus April 2019)
 * Create Cookie statement - it's linked to from bottom of all pages. Add it to “MEpedia documentation” category. Make it protected so that only admins can edit it.(Requested by Pyrrhus April 2019)
 * Create MEpedia:Terms of use - it's linked to from bottom of all pages. Add it to “MEpedia documentation” category. Make it protected so that only admins can edit it. (Requested by Pyrrhus May 2019)
 * Mark the MEpedia:Admin guide and MEpedia:Developer guide pages as "protected" by allowing only Administrators to edit them. (Requested by Pyrrhus June 2019)
 * Mark all pages in the Category:MEpedia documentation and Category:MEpedia help categories as "semiprotected" by marking them as "Allow only autoconfirmed users" to edit them. Except for the "Sample page", which needs to be editable by all users.  (And except for any talk pages, or any pages that are already protected and editable only by Administrators.)  (Requested by Pyrrhus May 2019)
 * Add extra code to Common.css from Notjusttired/common.css (except for the end section that's commented out) - for alternating table rows and minor tweaks
 * Add these Google fonts to Common.css to make them available for all skins: Oswald, Oswald italic, Oswald italic small-caps, Oswald small-caps, Oswald bold italic, Oswald bold italic small-caps, Oswald bold, Oswald bold small-caps, Permanent marker, Permanent marker bold, use Oswald small-caps for MEpedia logo text. Let us know the CSS font family names for all fonts above. - notjusttired (talk) 10:58, May 25, 2019 (EDT)

Developer suggestions
When a task is complete move it to the COMPLETED section at the bottom of the page
 * check why search engine crawls are taking months to reflect updates - Google search console, robots, etc, consider adding site map that including images requested by User:Notjusttired
 * Debug Special:OrphanedPages which appears not to be populating correctly - details at MEpedia_talk:Orphaned_pages. Canele (talk) 03:32, 6 April 2019 (EDT)
 * Could it be that this page list is updated daily or weekly rather than immediately? The example given is now sorted - I presume without any intervention. notjusttired (talk) 19:04, May 24, 2019 (EDT)

nice -n 19 mysqldump --host=$dbhost --user=$dbuser --password=$dbpw --add-drop-table $dbname > dbcontent.sql echo " Placing MEpedia into read-only mode ..." >> $logfile msg="\$wgReadOnly = 'We are currently performing a regular backup of MEpedia.

 * IF it is ever decided to limit editing to users with accounts, and to prevent anonymous users from editing, simply add  to LocalSettings.php.  I am not advocating this action, simply documenting this if it is ever so decided. (Added by Pyrrhus, April 2019)
 * In year 2020, we will need to upgrade our MediaWiki software and extensions to the latest stable versions. The new version of MediaWiki software includes important security fixes.  The new versions of the extensions include important fixes and improvements.  Any extension with a “compatibility policy” of “release branches” must be updated with any new version of MediaWiki.  These include Echo, Scribunto, TemplateData, PageImages, Citoid, VisualEditor, Thanks, and StructuredDiscussions.  The Linux package Parsoid must also be updated every time VisualEditor is updated.  Although not required, it is advised to update the Cite and ParserFunctions extensions, and the Pivot and Timeless skins as well.  (Added by Pyrrhus, May 2019)
 * In year 2020, we will need to do “performance tuning” of the MySQL(MariaDB) database and “performance tuning” of the MediaWiki software as described in https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Performance_tuning (Added by Pyrrhus May, 2019)
 * In year 2020, we can ask a MediaWiki specialist what needs to be done to handle internationalization. Some custom system messages will need to be translated.  The LanguageSelector and Polyglot extensions will probably need to be installed.  (Added by Pyrrhus June 2019)
 * Improve MEpedia logo quality, requested by User:JaimeS. (According to the $wgLogo page, the logo can not have a resolution higher than 135x135 pixels, but two higher definition versions can be specified with $wgLogoHD.)
 * Update backup protocol to more closely adhere to industry norms: (Requested by Pyrrhus May 2019)
 * Update the cron job for the Fullsitebackup script to backup the production server once a month, not every 2 days, at midnight New York time. This will serve as the monthly portion of the backup protocol.  (Assuming that each new monthly backup will overwrite the last monthly backup.)
 * Remove the cron job for the staging server backup, as changes to the staging server are so infrequent that it does not merit a regular backup, and we would rather save the disk space for multiple production backups, when possible. (We can always do a staging server backup manually when needed.)
 * Assuming that there is sufficient disk space to store an additional seven production backups, create 7 new cron jobs for each day of the week, run at 1:00am New York time. This will serve as the daily portion of the backup protocol.  (Assuming that each new day-of-week backup will overwrite the last week's day-of-week backup.)  This also assumes that the backup process takes less than 30 minutes to complete.  If there is insufficient disk space, or if the backup process takes more than 30 minutes, please let us know!
 * Check the Fullsitebackup and Fullsiterestore scripts for the production server to make sure that the 5 configuration settings (dbname, dbhost,  dbuser,  dbpw, and webrootdir) are correct for the production server.  (This will make sure that we can quickly restore backups when needed.)
 * Also check the Fullsitebackup and Fullsiterestore scripts for the staging server to make sure that the 5 configuration settings (dbname, dbhost,  dbuser,  dbpw, and webrootdir) are correct for the staging server.
 * In the production server's Fullsitebackup script, find the line that starts with  and add   to the front of it:
 * Add the following code to the production server's Fullsitebackup script, right before the "TAR website files" section:
 * 1) Put MEpedia into read-only mode
 * 1) Put MEpedia into read-only mode
 * Then add the additional following code to the production server's Fullsitebackup script, right before the "Create final backup file" section:
 * 1) Take MEpedia out of read-only mode
 * 1) Take MEpedia out of read-only mode
 * Add the following code to the end of the staging server's Fullsiterestore script, just before the "Exit Banner":
 * 1) Overwrite any production robots.txt with staging robots.txt
 * 1) Overwrite any production robots.txt with staging robots.txt
 * Test the new backup script by making a backup of the production server. Check the log file for any errors.  Note how long the backup takes to finish.
 * Next "re-image" the staging server to be the same as the production server. Use the staging server's Fullsiterestore script, along with the backup from the production server, to update the staging server with the latest copy of the production server.  (The staging server is currently outdated.)
 * Finally, consider doing a one-time backup of MEpedia’s entire account, including the backup scripts, using Dreamhost’s one-click backup: https://help.dreamhost.com/hc/en-us/articles/215089918-How-do-I-backup-my-entire-account-
 * Discussion on backup:
 * Problems need not be fixed in 2 days, they only need to be identified - is this for server or database (ie MEpedia content only)? The norm would be a series of backups at different intervals, kept for different times - eg every 2 days, plus a weekly backup kept for at least a month, plus a monthly backup kept for at least a year. Changing the most frequent backup to 7 days means risking losing a week of editing. notjusttired (talk) 19:04, May 24, 2019 (EDT)
 * Thanks, you’re assuming that multiple backups are stored User:Notjusttired. Normally this is a perfectly correct assumption, but in our case it appears that only the most recent backup is stored and it is immediately overwritten by the next backup.  Therefore, if we wait more than 2 days, the good backup will be overwritten with a corrupt backup.  This is why I suggested that at least two backups be stored, so that we can back up at least twice a week.  Maybe what we really should ask for is daily backups, with each backup kept for a week.  Disk space is cheap, we should be able to store seven backups at a time.  Hope this clarifies.
 * Pyrrhus (talk) 20:01, May 24, 2019 (EDT)
 * I'm still not sure if this is a database backup you are talking about, or the server backup. I'm unsure of the hosting plans and how far we are from the current limit. I believe that we should definitely keep some backups For than a week notjusttired (talk) 06:25, May 25, 2019 (EDT)
 * The Fullsitebackup script backs up all MediaWiki files, including the database. There is also a DreamCompute backup option here. Yes, it would be nice to have a monthly backup that is kept for a month, in addition to 7 daily backups kept for a week.  We should be able to find enough disk space to store 8 backups at a time, although I know nothing about our hosting plan.  Hope this clarifies, User:Notjusttired!
 * Pyrrhus (talk) 12:27, May 25, 2019 (EDT)


 * Edit pivot skin's Pivot.skin.php to set autocomplete to on for mobile devices only. notjusttired (talk) 18:52, May 24, 2019 (EDT)
 * Prepare for StructuredDiscussions extension (PART ONE): (Requested by Pyrrhus May, 2019)
 * First comment out the last two lines of the LocalSettings.php file to disable the DiscussionThreading extension on the production server
 * Update Echo extension to latest version for MediaWiki 1.30 on production server
 * Update ParserFunctions extension to latest version for MediaWiki 1.30 on production server. Add   to LocalSettings.php
 * Install new BetaFeatures extension on production server
 * Install new CLDR extension on production server
 * Install new Thanks extension on production server
 * Backup production server with Fullsitebackup script
 * Use backup file to re-image the staging server. Use the staging server's Fullsiterestore script, along with the backup from the production server, to update the staging server with the latest copy of the production server.  Run update.php script.  Check that file permissions are correct.  (uploads directory must be writable by the web server and extensions must be executable by the web server.)
 * Install StructuredDiscussions extension (PART TWO): (Requested by Pyrrhus May, 2019)
 * Set up a memcached daemon service on the staging server on port 11211:
 * First verify that PHP was compiled with “--enable-sockets” by running “php -i”. (If not, PHP must be recompiled.)
 * Install memcached as described here: https://github.com/memcached/memcached/wiki/Install
 * Configure memcached’s config file (or init script) to run with the following options:
 * (More info may be found in the documentation included with the download.)

Replace $wgMainCacheType = CACHE_NONE; $wgMemCachedServers = []; with the following $wgMainCacheType = CACHE_MEMCACHED; $wgSessionCacheType = CACHE_MEMCACHED; $wgMemCachedServers = ["127.0.0.1:11211"]; php maintenance/populateContentModel.php --ns=1 --table=revision php maintenance/populateContentModel.php --ns=1 --table=archive php maintenance/populateContentModel.php --ns=1 --table=page
 * Run the init script to start the daemon service.
 * Configure Mediawiki for Memcached on the staging server by updating the LocalSettings.php file as follows: (and as described in https://m.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Memcached)
 * 1) Shared memory settings
 * 1) Shared memory settings
 * Install the StructuredDiscussions extension on the staging server according to: https://m.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:StructuredDiscussions Be sure to run the update.php script as the web server unix account. (apache?)
 * Run the following scripts on the staging server to update the namespace tables in the database: (see populateContentModel and default talk namespace numbers)

 * Add the following to the end of LocalSettings.php on the staging server to define the namespaces for StructuredDiscussions:
 * Finally, spend a week testing out both production and staging servers.
 * If both production and staging servers pass the tests, then repeat PART TWO on the production server and re-test.
 * Consider updating backup scripts to delete old backups, so that we can ‘rotate’ backups instead of overwriting them. Code for this can be copied from here.  Also consider adding automated email notification of backup failure.  Also consider adding automated termination of stalled backups.(Requested by Pyrrhus May, 2019)
 * Add  to LocalSettings.php file. (Requested by Pyrrhus May 2019)
 * Remove the following from LocalSettings.php. Our new policy is that people need to make 50 edits before they skip the CAPTCHA, regardless of whether they are emailconfirmed or not. (Requested by Pyrrhus May 2019)
 * Remove the following from LocalSettings.php. It didn’t do what we hoped it would have done:
 * Add the following to https://www.me-pedia.org/robots.txt, under "User-agent: *": (requested by Pyrrhus June 2019)

Stem cell treatments
Info such as at http://www.bbc.com/news/health-35065905 and http://www.prohealth.com/library/showarticle.cfm?libid=14735 would be interesting to have. Brettz9 (talk) 11:37, 19 January 2016 (PST)

Treatments
A great rundown of infections related to ME/CFS and potential treatments. Link can be added to "Further reading" on the List of treatments page. Information here can also be included on the appropriate pages for specific infectious agents and specific antivirals. https://sites.google.com/site/cfstestingandtreatmentroadmap/ --JenB (talk) 09:24, 11 December 2015 (PST)

Basic biochemistry

 * Cross reference with CFS research to all Vitamin and Mineral pages Also choline and essential fatty acid --JenB (talk) 11:47, 10 December 2015 (PST)

Infectious disease
New study shows that EBV can infect neurons. Apparently we didn't know this before! http://www.meaction.net/2015/12/10/study-shows-epstein-barr-virus-can-infect-human-neurons/ Consider updating the Herpesvirus page with any relevant information. I think it would be really great to expand the EBV (and really all the herpesvirus pages) with information on the association of these viruses with both CFS and other diseases, especially those involving B cells and the possible infection of nervous tissue. --JenB (talk) 08:38, 16 March 2016 (PDT)

Developer Completed
(Requested by Pyrrhus, Feb 2019)
 * Add EmbedVideo extension from https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:EmbedVideo to allow us to embed YouTube or Vimeo clips, eg Linda Crowhurst's on Severe M.E., videos for symptoms like muscle twitches, myclonus, and advocacy clips/explanations - the MEAnalysis PACE video for instance - this would help those with photophobia
 * WikimediaMessages added
 * Skins: Add a stable dark/dark grey skin that's mobile friendly (and migraine friendly) eg Timeless DarkCSS as custom CSS on Timeless skin - requested by User:Notjusttired
 * Skins: Add Pivot and Foreground (both mobile friendly), consider defaulting to Pivot for all mobile devices requested by User:Notjusttired
 * Add the Visual Editor to the “MEpedia:” and “Help:” namespaces so new contributors don’t need to learn wikitext to edit a page. To do this, first verify that "MEpedia" is listed in $wgExtraNamespaces in LocalSettings.php, then add the following to the LocalSettings.php file:
 * allow search engines to crawl the Files namespace eg http://me-pedia.org/wiki/File:example.jpg so images come up when doing Google search on images for reuse requested by User:Notjusttired
 * Install AddThis extension for sharing - if poss with Facebook, Twitter and pinterest links showing - requested by [[User:
 * Turn on setting to autofix redirects in LocalSettings.php - as per Mediawiki configuration info - requested by User:Notjusttired
 * Can Citation bot be set up for all new users - see Wikipedia for link & institutions (Requester unknown)
 * This task has been abandoned because the required PHP compilation, template setup, and bot registration is beyond the capabilities of our developers. See https://github.com/ms609/citation-bot for more details. Pyrrhus (talk) 22:01, 22 May 2019 (EDT)

 * Fix the email address "mepedia@meaction.net". It currently rejects emails with a "Google Groups Error".  (Requested by Pyrrhus, Feb 2019)
 * Add significant ME/CFS (or related) Facebook groups to the Social media page. Canele (talk) 15:35, 29 March 2019 (EDT)
 * Fix the New User Message as suggested on the User talk:New user message talk page.  The New User Message has already been moved to Template:Welcome, all that remains to be done is to delete the MediaWiki:Newusermessage-template page.  (Requested by Pyrrhus, Feb 2019)
