I made some pages that do not show up when you press the "search" button, but do show up if you press the "go" button. For example if you search for "TrkA", you do not get the page. But if you enter "TrkA" and press "go", you do get the page. How do I make the page visible by the "search function?

This is the response to your help request. What you are looking for is redirects. Simply go to the page you think people might search for, and make it a redirect. I have created MuSK (without redirection) for you so you will have an example. Please limit these to pages that you think people would have a good likelihood for thinking might be the main article though. Thanks for making the new article :) if you ahve any other questions let us know. - cohesion 02:43, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, you are asking about the difference in go vs. search. "Go" will take you to any pre-existing article, while "search" will as you expect search everything for the term. The search index is updated by the developers on their schedule, and it's not immediate. There is no way to update the index early. Sorry for the bad news. You can always use google to search wikipedia though, many people do. [1] - cohesion 03:22, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This makes me think that it should be possible to make molecular pathway diagrams for Wikipedia with links in them. --JWSchmidt 01:33, 18 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have been thinking about diagrams for articles about receptors, kinases, phosphatases, transcription factors and other signaling pathway components. Here is an example (Image:IKK.png) of the kind of diagram I tend to make to illustrate components of signaling pathways. I have been thinking that Wikipedia should probably have a standard format for such diagrams. There are people at the Molecular and Cellular Biology WikiProject who can probably provide some useful input on this. --JWSchmidt 14:05, 18 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi... but what would be cool would be to have each gene in the image hyperlinked... so for example if you click on PDK in the figure, it will take you to the PDK page. Gacggt 18:46, 18 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. The other feature that would be nice would be to have animated figures. Static figures that try to show dynamic events like phosphorylation have problems. --JWSchmidt 19:16, 18 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, that would actually be amazing! I'm definitely going to look into animated image editors. Is there any special Wikipedia policy on animated illustrations? Peter Z.^Talk 19:34, 18 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Gacggt, pathway pages are definitely neglected... Speaking of animated pathways, are you thinking of Flash? Or good old GIFs? Flash would be easier to implement I think and pretty much everyone's browser should support it these days. Does any wikipedia article use it? It wouldn't be too difficult to provide a static image as well and link to it in the caption. If we could recruit some animators to help it would be great. I don't entirely agree with your choice of most obvious pathways though :) but everyone has his favourites. I'd say Ras/Raf/Mek/Erk etc is definitely the top priority - I'm pretty sure most introductory cell signaling courses at universities use it is a model (mine did). Peter Z.^Talk 22:34, 18 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Peter, John,

The animation would be to illustrate stuff like phosphorylation, ubiquitination etc.

For example, it would be really cool to show that once you polyubiquitinate a protein, it gets shuttled to the proteasome and gets destroyed.

Or, when a protein is phosphorylated at a particular site, it then recruits a particular binding partner.

Or, in a case like FOXO, or NFAT, when it is dephosphorylated it translocates to the nucleus...

Stuff like that would seem to require something like Flash, or actually having a link to an mpeg...

And then the pathways themselves could be diagrams in which the proteins were hyperlinked...

those are just some ideas...

How does the fact that I'm a Stuyvesant High School alumnus bear on the historical fact that Science started with faculty from Stuyvesant? If you have a source that contradicts the City's report I cited, please note it on the talk page. I've cited my source in the article, as Wikipedia requires. RossPatterson 01:31, 19 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I wasn't questioning the fact - I was questioning the importance of the fact and thus its placement in the history section. Saying in the first line that Bronx Science was started with a bunch of teachers from Stuyvesant makes it sound like an off-shoot of Stuyvesant, which is not accurate. I'm not the first person to note how odd that sentence sounded - in the discussion page another writer ntoed the same thing - that it was odd to reference the other school in that way, in the first sentence of the history of Bx Science. Therefore I hope you will accept the compromise, which is to keep the data-point, but having it moved down in the section (that is what I did). Gacggt 20:48, 19 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi

I'm contacting you because, as a participant at Wikiproject Medicine, you may be interested in a new multinational non-profit organization we're forming at m:Wikimedia Medicine. Even if you don't want to be actively involved, any ideas you may have about our structure and aims would be very welcome on the project's talk page.

Our purpose is to help improve the range and quality of free online medical content, and we'll be working with like-minded organizations, such as the World Health Organization, professional and scholarly societies, medical schools, governments and NGOs - including Translators Without Borders.

Hope to see you there! --Anthonyhcole (talk) 07:58, 1 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed all the commotion today on this article, which is almost certainly related. I don't agree with your removal of that paragraph from the article.(diff). I think it is more than remarkable and should be included. »Petiatil ^{(† talk ‡ contribs)} 09:21, 31 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The Wikipedia Library gets Wikipedia editors free access to reliable sources that are behind paywalls. Because you are signed on as a medical editor, I thought you'd want to know about our most recent donation from Cochrane Collaboration.

• Cochrane Collaboration is an independent medical nonprofit organization that conducts systematic reviews of randomized controlled trials of health-care interventions, which it then publishes in the Cochrane Library.
• Cochrane has generously agreed to give free, full-access accounts to 100 medical editors. Individual access would otherwise cost between $300 and $800 per account.
• If you are still active as a medical editor, come and sign up :)

Spotlight - Simplified article translation

---

Wikiproject Medicine started translating simplified articles in February 2014. We now have 45 simplified articles ready for translation, of which the first on African trypanosomiasis or sleeping sickness has been translated into 46 out of ~100 languages. This list does not include the 33 additional articles that are available in both full and simple versions.

Our goal is to eventually translate 1,000 simplified articles. This includes:

• WHO's list of Essential Medicines[3]
• Neglected tropical diseases[4]
• Key diseases for medical subspecialties like: oncology, emergency medicine (list), anatomy, internal medicine, surgery, etc.

We are looking for subject area leads to both create articles and recruit further editors. We need people with basic medical knowledge who are willing to help out. This includes to write, translate and especially integrate medical articles.

What's happening?

IEG grant

I've (CFCF) taken on the role of community organizer for this project, and will be working with this until December. The goals and timeline can be found here, and are focused on getting the project on a firm footing and to enable me to work near full-time over the summer, and part-time during the rest of the year. This means I will be available for questions and ideas, and you can best reach me by mail or on my talk page.

Wikimania 2014

For those going to London in a month's time (or those already nearby) there will be at least one event for all medical editors, on Thursday August 7th. See the event page, which also summarizes medicine-related presentations in the main conference. Please pass the word on to your local medical editors.

Integration progress

There has previously been some resistance against translation into certain languages with strong Wikipedia presence, such as Dutch, Polish, and Swedish.
What was found is that thre is hardly any negative opinion about the the project itself; and any such critique has focused on the ways that articles have being integrated. For an article to be usefully translated into a target-Wiki it needs to be properly Wiki-linked, carry proper citations and use the formatting of the chosen target language as well as being properly proof-read. Certain large Wikis such as the Polish and Dutch Wikis have strong traditions of medical content, with their own editorial system, own templates and different ideas about what constitutes a good medical article. For example, there are not MEDRS (Polish,German,Romanian,Persian) guidelines present on other Wikis, and some Wikis have a stronger background of country-specific content.

• Swedish
  Translation into Swedish has been difficult in part because of the amount of free, high quality sources out there already: patient info, for professionals. The same can be said for English, but has really given us all the more reason to try and create an unbiased and free encyclopedia of medical content. We want Wikipedia to act as an alternative to commercial sources, and preferably a really good one at that.
  Through extensive collaborative work and by respecting links and Sweden specific content the last unintegrated Swedish translation went live in May.
• Dutch
  Dutch translation carries with it special difficulties, in part due to the premises in which the Dutch Wikipedia is built upon. There is great respect for what previous editors have created, and deleting or replacing old content can be frowned upon. In spite of this there are success stories: Anafylaxie.
• Polish
  Translation and integration into Polish also comes with its own unique set of challenges. The Polish Wikipedia has long been independent and works very hard to create high quality contentfor Polish audience. Previous translation trouble has lead to use of unique templates with unique formatting, not least among citations. Add to this that the Polish Wikipedia does not allow template redirects and a large body of work is required for each article.
  (This is somewhat alleviated by a commissioned Template bot - to be released). - List of articles for integration
• Arabic
  The Arabic Wikipedia community has been informed of the efforts to integrate content through both the general talk-page as well as through one of the major Arabic Wikipedia facebook-groups: مجتمع ويكيبيديا العربي, something that has been heralded with great enthusiasm.

Integration guides

Integration is the next step after any translation. Despite this it is by no means trivial, and it comes with its own hardships and challenges. Previously each new integrator has needed to dive into the fray with little help from previous integrations. Therefore we are creating guides for specific Wikis that make integration simple and straightforward, with guides for specific languages, and for integrating on small Wikis.

Instructions on how to integrate an article may be found here [5]
