==Bare URLs as references== When putting links (urls) in a table in source mode, <nowiki>please name the reference at the same time eg <code><nowiki> <ref name="pmid79"> </nowiki></code>. </nowiki>[[User:Hip]] Named references can then be added elsewhere on the page outside the table using source mode again eg <code><nowiki> <ref name="pmid79"/> </nowiki></code> and save. The visual editor mode can then be used to expand these temporary refs, then delete the temporary ref just expanded and this forces the expanded ref to move to the table automatically. See my new section which is ready for visual editor. The date errors can easily be fixed all at once so leaving this until later. [[User:Kmdenmark]] ~[[User:Notjusttired|Njt]] ([[User talk:Notjusttired|talk]]) 04:38, March 19, 2021 (UTC) :OK. Sounds good to me. [[User:Kmdenmark|Kmdenmark]] ([[User talk:Kmdenmark|talk]]) 17:55, March 19, 2021 (UTC) ===Alternative method=== The Wikipedia [https://citer.toolforge.org/citer.fcgi? Citer] tool can also create the code for a reference, and is probably easier. ~[[User:Notjusttired|Njt]] ([[User talk:Notjusttired|talk]]) 01:44, March 21, 2021 (UTC) == Origins of this article -- [[User:Hip|Hip]] ([[User talk:Hip|talk]]) 23:35, August 10, 2020 (UTC) == I wrote this entire article myself. Originally I uploaded this article on Wikipedia back in around 2011, where it existed as a Wikipedia article for a few years. Then at one point in 2015, a Wikipedia editor decided that my article should be deleted, and most other Wikipedia editors agreed. It was deleted because the editors said there was insufficient evidence these pathogens cause their associated disease (even though my article did not claim the pathogens cause the disease, only that they are associated with it). Just before they deleted my page, I copied it, and moved it to a Google Sites web address here: https://sites.google.com/site/humandiseaseslinkedtopathogens/ where it has been for a few years. Someone on Wikipedia resurrected my article in 2017, and it is now found here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infections_associated_with_diseases However, this version of the article I created today on MEpedia is more comprehensive and more up-to-date than the older version on Wikipedia. [[User:Hip|Hip]] ([[User talk:Hip|talk]]) 23:35, August 10, 2020 (UTC) == Relevance to ME/CFS -- [[User:Hip|Hip]] ([[User talk:Hip|talk]]) 23:38, August 10, 2020 (UTC) == The article is a list of human chronic diseases that have been linked to infectious pathogens. When such a link is made, researchers then start to investigate whether the associated pathogen(s) might actually cause the disease. Although this topic is not directly connected to ME/CFS, it may be of interest to ME/CFS researchers and patients, because of the controversy about whether ME/CFS is caused by an ongoing infection. The article shows that there are many other diseases which have been linked to pathogens, and the article explains that some researchers believe pathogens are the likely cause of many common chronic diseases. So in that respect, it may be of interest to ME/CFS. [[User:Hip|Hip]] ([[User talk:Hip|talk]]) 23:38, August 10, 2020 (UTC) == Why is AIDS not included in this list of pathogen-associated diseases? -- [[User:Hip|Hip]] ([[User talk:Hip|talk]]) 23:54, August 10, 2020 (UTC) == AIDS is not included in this article as it is a disease with a proven pathogenic cause, namely HIV. This article generally only lists diseases when they are associated with an infectious pathogen, but when it has not yet been proven the pathogen actually causes the disease. Similarly other diseases which have a known infectious cause (eg, hepatitis C, tuberculosis, Q fever) are not included. This article focuses on diseases which currently have an unknown cause and which have been linked to pathogens, but have not (yet) been proven to be caused by those pathogens.
