Section Leaders Guide

Each of the clinical areas in Physiopedia has one or more Section Leaders who are responsible for quality assurance in that clinical area to ensure that our standards of quality are being met.  As a section leader, you are the driving force for quality assurance in your clinical area on Physiopedia. It is an opportunity to use your clinical expertise and experience to ensure that the knowledge we share is up-to-date and relevant. As a section leader, you are responsible for:

• Monitor the Slack “Content” channel
• Monitor recent changes. You can add pages to your Watchlist
• Ensuring pages meet Physiopedia standards (Quality and formatting)
• Monitor the categories
• Ensure content is linked to and from pages related to your topic
  

The guide below details methods for achieving your role as a section leader.  It is just a guide and there will be other methods that some people find more suitable to them.  If this is the case please add them to this page!

Monitoring Recent Changes in Your Clinical Area

When monitoring recent changes you are assessing those changes for quality and appropriateness.  Your clinical knowledge and experience will enable you to assess whether the edits are suitable to remain as written.  There are several ways to receive alerts of recent changes:

Receiving alerts of recent changes

1. Monitor the Content Review and Content New Channels in Slack.
2. Adding pages to your Watchlist
3. Regularly visiting the category. See the category list here
   

Viewing the recent changes

When you become alerted to any recent changes in Physiopedia you should first check to see if they fall under your clinical area (this is at your discretion).  If there are changes in your clinical area you should then go to the History Tool under the Edit Menu in Physiopedia.  On this page you can click on the versions you wish to compare and then click Compare selected revisions to see the recent changes of a particular page and once viewed, if no edits are required, you can mark them as patrolled by clicking on [Mark as patrolled].  If edits are required you should make the edits before marking as patrolled.  Marking recent changes as patrolled will allow other Section Managers and users to see that the page has been checked and standards of quality have been met.

Editing Inappropriate Content

If you find that new content is inappropriate there are two courses of action you can take:

1. Revert the changes by clicking undo by using the History Tool, or
2. Edit the changes to make them more suitable

What to Look For

While monitoring, you need to ensure that:

• Page formatting is correct. If users are unfamiliar with formatting, help them out!
  • All articles contain the common elements:
  • Acknowledgements box/Editor's name
  • list of categories
  • Reference section
• Links to other Physiopedia pages are made where relevant.

If the page has been created with the appropriate template these should have been added to the page automatically.  Please ensure that the above items are all present on new (and existing) pages.  The code for these items can be found below or in the New Page Template.  Some  of the old original pages have an old template on them; these need to be changed to the new template, you will know them when you see them!

Acknowledgments box

<div class="editorbox">
'''Original Editor '''- Your name will be added here if you created the original content 
for this page. 

'''Top Contributors''' - {{Special:Contributors/{{FULLPAGENAME}}}} - Your name will be added here if you are a lead editor 
on this page.    
</div> 

Reference section

References will automatically be added here, see [[Adding References|adding references tutorial]]. 

<references />

Adding a Template

You should ensure that all new (and existing) pages have an appropriate template.  If there is already content on the page but no template you should rearrange the page to include a template. Please see the Adding Templates tutorial for more information.

Making Links Between Pages Within Physiopedia

One of your tasks involves creating links from the content to other related pages within Physiopedia.  It is your role to do this and the extent to which you do this is entirely up to you!

Exceptions

Student projects

If pages are being edited or articles being created as part of a student project please do not make any changes, even formatting, to those pages.  We will ensure that these pages are of suitable quality and make any edits neccessary at the end of the project.  Current student projects can be identified by the no edit notice at the top of the page (see example below)

This page is currently under construction as part of a ..... student project. Please do not edit, but please come back in the near future to check out new information!!

Whenever you see one of these banners check the History of the page and if no recent edits have been made reach out in Slack to check if the project is complete.  In this case the banner can be removed and the page reviewed and updated so that it looks like other Physiopedia pages.
