Topic of the Month

Your Choice

You can also work to improve or update a page of your choice or create a new page. If you decide to create a new page, please ensure that similar pages do not already exist on Physiopedia by performing an extensive search for related titles and also by checking the Articles page.

Considerations

1. When working on pages, you should ensure that, when complete, they meet the Physiopedia Quality Standards.
2. You must respect other peoples' work when editing pages. Do not delete and replace someone else's hard work. If it is good work but inappropriate for the page, consider adding it to a more appropriate page or consider creating a new page for this information.
3. If you come across similar pages that discuss the same topic, then the pages should be merged. Please add the Merge Needed template to the top of the page by adding this to the wikitext {{Page Merger Required}} This will alert the person responsible for merging pages.
