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).
Priority pages for expansion[edit | edit source]
- Update List of abnormal findings in chronic fatigue syndrome and myalgic encephalomyelitis - see suggestions on Talk page and List of systematic reviews about ME/CFS (added May 26, 2020 by User:Notjusttired)
- Update Epidemiology, see new CDC info and others (added May 26, 2020 by User:Notjusttired)
- Check if updates needed for Prognosis - see new CDC info (added May 26, 2020 by User:Notjusttired)
- Science: add Rekeland (2020) trial results to CycloME and Cyclophosphamide and associated genes HLA-DPB1 and HLA-C, Mestinon and Kynurenine trials by OMF, start page for OMF COVID-19 study, Kynurenine pathway hypothesis, Citric acid cycle, Central nervous system, Nitric oxide hypothesis, Brain (imaging section), Microbiome hypothesis, PACE trial, and Hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis (HPG axis)
- News: add any cyclophosphamide trial news, plus HHV-6 reactivation news. Add recent news to list on Portal:Treatments/Recent news and events eg funding / grants, study results, citizen science or non-profit news. Links should go to the MEpedia page that's been recently updated (no blog links, no petition - keep neutral).
- Portals: Portal:Treatments, Portal:Cardiovascular system
High priority[edit | edit source]
When a task is complete move it to the COMPLETED section at the bottom of the page
- [[Creating remaining symptom pages eg substantial reduction in activity for ICC, CCC, NICE criteria
- Category:Wearable devices
- Non-drug fibromyalgia treatments and management strategies
- Female predominant diseases: complete this table of gender ratio + prevalence for chronic illness: Female predominant diseases#List of diseases (will likely be used in advocacy and outreach efforts)
- High usage page Esther Crawley needs a cleanup including neutrality improving citations,
adding missing citations, and marking any extra citations needed.notjusttired (talk) 18:57, May 24, 2019 (EDT) - add neutrality Aug 12, 2019 - Njt - 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
- CREATE AND POPULATE PAGES FOR genitourinary impairment (ICC requirement) and Ion, part of the Ion transportation page which could use more work (ICC requirement).
- 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 citations.
- Create pages for all UK politicians on the new All-Party Parliamentary Group on ME, suggested by Notjusttired Feb 14, 2019 - MP info out of date - 2021
Admin suggestions[edit | edit source]
When a task is complete move it to the COMPLETED section at the bottom of the page
- Review/update 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. Also review/protect MEpedia:Developer guide. (Requested by Pyrrhus April 2019)
- Add Special:Interwiki shortcuts for the staging server (called staging) and pmc - which will be similar to the pubmed one but using the PMC path, this would allow links like pmc:1234567 to go to PMC1234567
In 2020[edit | edit source]
- test plan and #Snag list
- IN PROGRESS: Extensions for MediaWiki 1.39 to check/test
- Any extension with a “compatibility policy” of “release branches” must be updated with any new version of MediaWiki. These include, Citoid, Thanks, DiscussionThreading (if in use?), OneColumnAllPages, DynamicPageList, Lingo, SmiteSpam,
AddThis, Disambiguator, DismissableSiteNotice, NewUserMessage, GeoData, Graph, PageNotice, Popups (Peviews), WikimediaMessages, QuestyCaptchaStructuredDiscussions, PageTriage,(AbuseFilter, CategoryTree, Cite, CodeEditor, InputBox, Interwiki, PageImages, ParserFunctions, RenameUser, Scribunto, SyntaxHighlight, TextExtracts, VisualEditor, WikiEditor updates not needed - comes with MW 1.39+). AddThis is a defunct service.
- Any extension with a “compatibility policy” of “release branches” must be updated with any new version of MediaWiki. These include, Citoid, Thanks, DiscussionThreading (if in use?), OneColumnAllPages, DynamicPageList, Lingo, SmiteSpam,
- Monobook skin update (unless we decide to disable it)
- We should also update the HitCounters extension to resolve some minor bugs including the Popular Pages link being in German.
- The Linux package Parsoid must also be updated every time VisualEditor is updated.
- We should also update the DismissableSiteNotice extension so that the dismissals last longer than a week.
- We should also update the Form extension to get security updates.
- SecureLinkFixer and TemplateData are bundled. They force https on your wiki, and add a tag and an api to allow editors to specify how templates should be invoked.
- The following PHP libraries are required for MW1.35: ctype, dom, fileinfo, iconv, json, mbstring, xml
- other requirements - MySQL version doesn't need updating
- Changes can be tested on the staging server before being implemented on the production server. See MEpedia:Developer guide. ( ~Njt September 29, 2020)
- 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)
1.39 upgrade tasks done and checked[edit | edit source]
- Upgraded to MW1.39, which is a future long-term support release. The new version of MediaWiki software includes important security fixes. The new versions of the extensions include important fixes and improvements. (Added by Pyrrhus, May 2019) (I suggest doing this later in the year to get a newer version, but to update compatible extensions / skins etc to the newest versions that work with our existing MW version early in the year - Notjusttired, Aug 2019).
- Extensions tested: Echo, Gadgets, Replace Text (now in core)
- Skins tested: Timeless (bugs T197057, T287132, T182389 layout mobile patches available), Vector-2022, Vector (legacy)
- PHP 7.4.33 now in use- update to at least version PHP 7.3.19 for MediaWiki 1.35
- MediaWiki 1.39 bundled the VisualEditor extension. It will not be necessary to setup a seperate instance of Parsoid, as it is built into MediaWiki core.
- Pivot skin - may no longer be supported by creator - upgraded to https://github.com/Hutchy68/pivot v2.3.0) and include any MW 1.35 to 1.39 fixes - needs css changes for echo notifications, but no skin updates since 2020, need to check bug reports - may be better to configure newly installed Chameleon to replace Pivot
- (User:Notjusttired Jun 2023)

Extensions[edit | edit source]
- do videos play
Admin rights needed to test[edit | edit source]
- Special:AbuseFilter - how to configure?
- Special:PageLanguage - visit from List of news articles on ME and CFS/de then set language
Sync important content and settings[edit | edit source]
- Sync skin customizations from live OR reapply our changes to new code
- css eg from MediaWiki timeless.css, common.css, gadgets css
- js eg MediaWiki, check Category js for Potential treatments / Medical hypothesis / etc, Gadgets js
- Namespace updates to import: Portal, MediaWiki (including MediaWiki:Gadget, Gadget_definition) and MediaWiki_talk, MediaWiki, Template, Module, Categories, MEpedia (aliased to Project) eg using Special:Export Done except for a few css, js etc ones
- Do NOT try to sync Gadget and Gadget_definition namespaces - both are empty, all code is in MediaWiki:Gadgetxxx files

Snag list[edit | edit source]
- Email not installed as stated on staging:special:PasswordReset and staging:Special:ConfirmEmail links don't work, this should be linked to in Special:Preferences for logged on users. Special:SpecialPages is missing ConfirmEmail and PasswordReset. The Enotif extension is part of core MW, which may or may not be linked to the issue.
- Thumbnails error on both live and staging stops SVGs working
- Special:WantedPages is not being updated and contains pages that already exist. ALSO: New issue - links to pages that exist are shown as if they are wanted page.
- mw:Extension:Previews (previously called mw:Extension:Popups doesn't display images - TextExtracts extension must be loaded before Popups, in staging LocalSettings.php (requested 3 Sep).
It seems to work on main namespace- download linked file no longer shows a page preview image
Potentially do after upgrade
- Special:Version throws a Lingo extension error on staging, but works antibody and membrane from glossary are looked up. May be an issue with Lingo.
- Performance - much slower to load pages - is this because less resources are allocated to the staging server by hosting company / at the server end? If not then investigation is needed.
- Investigate vector logo when legacy unticked
Minor changes after upgrade
- Njt: MediaWiki Timeless skin improvements eg Timeless no longer has visible left hand menu or settings cog for preferences
- Njt: Investigate vector font-size change - is it just on bullets? Portal bullets?
- Njt: Monobook.css, Pivot improvements if needed
After upgrade goes live[edit | edit source]
Update MediaWiki:Sidebar and Portal:Contents to fix Hitcounters extension page name Popular pages (copy staging server code).
- Abuse Filter to test - packaged with later MW1.38 release
Languages[edit | edit source]
- German, French, Dutch, Spanish, Italian, Norwegian (nb, no, but nn usually inappropriate)

Other suggestions[edit | edit source]
- 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
- Can this task be removed? Wikipedia tasks should not be in the MEpedia list. If it's a task for MEpedia then also suggest removing since many Portals already need extra work and several comorbidities still don't have pages which is a greater priority (Removal requested by User:Notjusttired Aug 2019, moved out of high priority tasks on Aug 2020 by Njt)
When a task is complete move it to the COMPLETED section at the bottom of the page
- Add Margaret Williams article about PACE criticism http://www.investinme.org/IIME-Newslet-1603-01.htm
- Pick a member of the OMF advisory board, and make sure we have a page for them giving a summary of who they are. http://me-pedia.org/wiki/Open_Medicine_Foundation
- Read Osler's Web and document key events/people/documents it refers to, linking to the book for readers to learn more.(please note the page# where she discusses the change in fingerprints, add here http://me-pedia.org/wiki/Fingerprint_change)
- Read Mary Dimmock's "Thirty Years of Disdain" and ensure MEpedia covers the key events/people/resources referred to, with citations.
- Read this summary of ME/CFS research, add details to all relevant pages http://paradigmchange.me/me-abnormalities/

Infectious disease[edit | edit source]
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)

Fix mobile editing[edit | edit source]
June 2024: May be limited to safari/iphones? Various issues mostly around dialogues:
- Add a citation (VisualEditor?)
- Cite web: top bar tick/x for close missing (VisualEditor?)
- save changes: menu items are too low and cover up "Summary" entry box
- save changes: Apply button at top missing
Screenshots on Slack. ~Njt (talk) 12:00, June 13, 2024 (UTC)
Mobile view layout issues with large text sizes[edit | edit source]
Media queries: zoom levels are taken into account when you use width
/ height
, but aren't when you use device-width
/device-height
, see MQtest for current browser values.
1. On iphones/safari and possibly other browsers, increasing the default zoom to 100% or more or changing text size means that the first bullet point has a blank line above it (the bullets points are in two columns), e.g. the neurological one has a blank line above "Introduction to the nervous system" on Portal:Contents/Portals which is an inclusion from Portal:Contents/Portals/Nervous_system. These views are different to the Welcome_to_MEpedia page. 2. On Portal:Contents/Types_TOC, the images are set to 80px wide in a 280px wide box, but Cardiovascular (for example) has an image that's smaller than the others, and the portal names on the right don't line up. 3. Bullet point indents look too large when font size increases (on portals) ~Njt (talk) 12:00, June 13, 2024 (UTC)

Tasks no longer needed since either another solution was found or they don't seem worthwhile given the work involved.
- pivot not showing Potential treatments banner - fixed by User:Notjusttired with Common.js changes as suggested by User:Pyrrhus
- all editors to see visitor stats eg popular pages or searched for terms - it's hard to know what topics to work on
- Is this necessary? Popular pages are visible via the link in lefthand sidebar. I don’t know of any way to find “searched for” terms without a custom database query. Pyrrhus (talk) 19:21, 16 May 2019 (EDT) - withdrawn by Notjusttired - Google analytics is the best solution but no way to link it here
- Debug Special:OrphanedPages which appears not to be populating correctly - details at MEpedia_talk:Orphaned_pages#List_not_populating_correctly. 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)

Use https not http[edit | edit source]
- Currently, http and https are both being used in the URLs throughout the website. This means that some users will land on non-secure pages (http w/out "s").
- All pages need automatically redirect from http to https. This will keep everything secure, and improve SEO and organic search traffic.
- It looks like it's covered on https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:HTTPS
