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, click Edit below (next to the heading "Suggestions"), add your suggestion to the end, and then click Save page.

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.

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 code [[Category:User to-dos]] 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

Suggestions - High Priority

When a task is complete move it to the COMPLETED section at the bottom of the page

• 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)
• 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.

High Priority Admin / Bureaucrat Suggestions

Admin / Bureaucrat Suggestions

• Fix the New User Message as suggested on the User talk:New user message talk page. (Requested by Pyrrhus, Feb 2019)
• Fix the email address "mepedia@meaction.net". (Requested by Pyrrhus, Feb 2019)
• Fix the wiki emailer so that new users can receive the 'autoconfirm' email and so that established users can receive email notifications of changes, etc. (Requested by Pyrrhus, Feb 2019)
• If possible, add the Visual Editor to the “Talk:” and “MEpedia:” namespaces so new contributors don’t need to learn wikitext to edit a page. (Requested by Pyrrhus, Feb 2019)
• Consider adding a Lingo Extension https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Lingofor generating tooltips for all abbreviations
• Once agreed, change copyright message on footer for all pages to state license actually in use instead of 'our special license'
• Create privacy policy - it's linked to from bottom of all posts
• Can Citation bot extension be installed and enabled for all new users - see Wikipedia for link & institutions

Added to Dev Queue (In process)

• 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
• Whitelist certain websites for references eg on MediaWiki:Captcha-addurl-whitelist see example here - so we don't need to do the Captcha so often, see here eg pubmed, pubmed central, researchgate.net, phoenixrising, taylor francis publisher, Google books (.com and.co.uk and .de), investinme, virology.ws MEAction, sagepub. Longer list of suggestions on discussion page: MediaWiki_talk:Captcha-addurl-whitelist
• Add System Messages from https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:WikimediaMessages to show licensing messages on Upload page, including translations
• check why search engine crawls are taking months to reflect updates - Google search console, robots, etc, consider adding site map that including images
• all editors to see visitor stats eg popular pages or searched for terms - it's hard to know what topics to work on
• 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

Suggestions - Images needed

Suggest an image and mark the page it's needed on with {{NeedsImage}}

• Category:Articles_that_need_an_image_or_photo

When a task is complete move to the COMPLETED section

• 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.

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/

Implement acronyms as a category

http://me-pedia.org/wiki/List_of_acronyms

I don't think this is necessary? The current abbreviations page serves its function perfectly, as it is alphabetized, linked and has explanatory notes. A category seems like an unnecessary duplication. --Samsara (talk) 02:18, 3 November 2016 (PDT)

There are also a very large number of resources here that need to be added: http://forums.phoenixrising.me/index.php?threads/historical-me-research-literature-and-related-information.10282/

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)

PACE trial A controversial study which claimed that CBT and GET were effective in treating "CFS/ME", despite the fact that its own data did not support this conclusion. Its results and methodology were widely disputed by patients, scientists, and the peer-reviewed scientific literature.

B cell B lymphocyte, or a type of white blood cell, which is involved in the immune response by secreting antibodies to ward off infections. In mammals, they are mostly matured in the bone marrow.

International Consensus Criteria (ICC) - A set of diagnostic criteria, based on the Canadian Consensus Criteria, that argued for the abandonment of the term "chronic fatigue syndrome" and encouraged the sole use of the term "myalgic encephalomyelitis".

Canadian Consensus Criteria (CCC) - A set of diagnostic criteria used to diagnose ME/CFS, developed by a group of practicing ME/CFS clinicians in 2003. The CCC is often considered to be the most complex criteria, but possibly the most accurate, with the lowest number of patients meeting the criteria. Led to the development of the International Consensus Criteria (ICC) in 2011.

B cell B lymphocyte, or a type of white blood cell, which is involved in the immune response by secreting antibodies to ward off infections. In mammals, they are mostly matured in the bone marrow.

Action for ME (AfME) - Action for ME is a British non-profit organization that was set up in 1987 as The M.E. Action Campaign. Its founders were Martin Lev, Sue Findlay and Clare Francis. In September 1993 it changed its name and logo to Action for ME and Chronic Fatigue. It then changed its name in 1993 to Action for ME.

National Institutes of Health (NIH) - A set of biomedical research institutes operated by the U.S. government, under the auspices of the Department of Health and Human Services.

BMJ The BMJ (previously the British Medical Journal) is a weekly peer-reviewed medical journal.

cytokine any class of immunoregulatory proteins secreted by cells, especially immune cells. Cytokines are small proteins important in cell signaling that modulate the immune system. (Learn more: me-pedia.org)

microbiome The full collection of microscopic organisms (especially bacteria and fungi) which are present in a particular environment, particularly inside the human body.

cognition Thought processes, including attention, reasoning, and memory.

myalgic encephalomyelitis (M.E.) - A disease often marked by neurological symptoms, but fatigue is sometimes a symptom as well. Some diagnostic criteria distinguish it from chronic fatigue syndrome, while other diagnostic criteria consider it to be a synonym for chronic fatigue syndrome. A defining characteristic of ME is post-exertional malaise (PEM), or post-exertional neuroimmune exhaustion (PENE), which is a notable exacerbation of symptoms brought on by small exertions. PEM can last for days or weeks. Symptoms can include cognitive impairments, muscle pain (myalgia), trouble remaining upright (orthostatic intolerance), sleep abnormalities, and gastro-intestinal impairments, among others. An estimated 25% of those suffering from ME are housebound or bedbound. The World Health Organization (WHO) classifies ME as a neurological disease.
