Quality Standards
Introduction[edit | edit source]
These quality standards are best practices for content creation, layout and formatting of Physiopedia pages. Editors should attempt to follow these guidelines, though they are best treated with common sense, and occasional exceptions may apply.
Content Guidelines
[edit | edit source]
Content on Physiopedia pages should comply with these guidelines:
- All content should be written in the English language.
- All content should be fact or supported by evidence. Clinical and expert opinion is permitted only where there is no supporting evidence and it is stated that it is clinical/expert opinion.
- Internationally agreed professional scope of practice should be respected at all time.
- Copyright policy (Terms and Conditions Section 9) should be followed at all times.
- Please respect the Physiopedia Community Culture.
Page Layout Recommendations[edit | edit source]
The general layout for the page should include the table of contents and editor credits at the top, followed by the main content for the page, related research, resources and references, as shown below:
Original Editor - Your name will be added here if you created the original content for this page.
Top Contributors - Admin, Kim Jackson, Rachael Lowe and Tony Lowe

Table of contents[edit | edit source]
The table of contents (TOC) will appear automatically after more than three section headings are used. Typically, the table reproduces and numbers these headings.
On some occasions you may need to force the TOC to appear, you can do this by adding the following in wikitext:
__FORCETOC__
Editor credits[edit | edit source]
The original editor/s is/are the first person/people that contributed significant content to that page (this person can be identified by looking at the page history - click the History tab). They are credited with a link to their profile page in the grey box at the top right of the article.
The editor credits (EC) are manually added to each page with the following wikitext:
<div class="editorbox">
'''Original Editor ''' [[User:Username|Username]]
'''Top Contributors''' - {{Special:Contributors/{{FULLPAGENAME}}}}
</div>
Note: an example of how this [[User:Username|Name as it will appear in the text]] may look is [[User:Rachael Lowe|Rachael Lowe]]. Replace 'Username' and with that persons name.
Content[edit | edit source]
Headings[edit | edit source]
The page content should be divided up by appropriate sub-headings as demonstrated on this page and in wikitext below. Please try not to use more than 3 sub-headings.
Bullets and listed numbers[edit | edit source]
Bulleted and numbered lists must be added with wikitext or the bullet/numbered list functions in the editing tool bar.
Related research[edit | edit source]
On every page we add a PubMed feed that displays the latest research on that particular topic.
See how to add a PubMed feed here
Resources[edit | edit source]
Resources are useful links that will provide good quality further reading and information. Add them as a bulleted list in this section.
References[edit | edit source]
References should be added in Vancouver style using the particular method offered by this editor.
