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. If you're using the wikitext editor, you can simply type four tildes (this symbol: ~ ) on a line by itself.

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 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 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

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
 * Add Files name space to sitemap in LocalSettings.php 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)


 * Fix the wiki emailer so that new users can receive the “confirm your email account” email and so that established users can receive email notifications of changes, etc. (Requested by Pyrrhus, Feb 2019)
 * 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. Obviously, this can only be done after the wiki emailer problem is fixed.  (Added by Pyrrhus, April 2019)
 * IF it is ever decided to switch from our current desktop-only interface (Vector skin) to a desktop-&-mobile-friendly interface (Pivot skin), simply add  to LocalSettings.php.  I am not advocating this action, simply documenting this if it is ever so decided. (Added by Pyrrhus, May 2019)
 * In year 2020, we will need to upgrade our MediaWiki software, VisualEditor extension, and Citoid extension to the latest stable versions. The new version of MediaWiki software includes important security fixes.  The new versions of VisualEditor and Citoid extensions include important fixes and improvements.  A VisualEditor upgrade will probably come bundled with a Citoid upgrade.  Other extensions, such as StructuredDiscussions, may also need to be updated for the new version of MediaWiki.  (Added by Pyrrhus, May 2019)
 * Improve MEpedia logo quality, requested by User:JaimeS
 * See AddThis extension documentation - publisher ID to add to LocalSettings.php ra-5cdfe8dacb9028fa - requested by User:Notjusttired - to show sharing options in left menu
 * Update cron job for the Fullsitebackup.sh script to backup MEpedia every 7 days, not every 2 days. It is unreasonable to think that problems can be identified and fixed by developers in under 48 hours.  Seven days is a more realistic timeframe.  Also update the script to only backup the production server, not the staging server.  Changes to the staging server are so infrequent that it does not merit a backup, and we would rather save the disk space for multiple backups, when possible.  (If there is sufficient disk space, then consider storing the two most recent backups, instead of only the most recent one. In this case, we could then back up twice a week.) (Requested by Pyrrhus May 2019)
 * 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!

User-agent: * Disallow: /*
 * Edit pivot skin's Pivot.skin.php to set autocomplete to on for mobile devices only. notjusttired (talk) 18:52, May 24, 2019 (EDT)
 * Download these Google fonts and add 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, create common CSS classes called "Oswald" and "PermanentMarker" so we can use them in any skin. Let us know the CSS font family names for all fonts above. - notjusttired (talk) 10:58, May 25, 2019 (EDT)
 * Add the following robots.txt file to the root of the staging server (staging.me-pedia.org): (Requested by Pyrrhus May 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)

 * Add this UK TV segment about a patient https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8lsRlUhRps&feature=youtu.be Where? Added to pediatric page
 * Add a malaise image to the PEM page. If we can get a volunteer to have an image of them perhaps out at a cafe' (before) and two or three days later at home with the impact showing on their face (after) this would be a very helpful illustration. (Done with #TwoFacesofME Tweets)
 * 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)
