This guide covers how to create and improve content in NeuroWiki. Following these standards ensures consistent, high-quality pages. [1]
Before creating new content: [2]
| Type | Description | Examples | [3]
|------|------------|----------| [4]
| Gene/Protein | Molecular entities | APP, SNCA |
| Disease | Neurological diseases | Alzheimer's Disease |
| Mechanism | Molecular pathways | Amyloid Cascade |
| Therapeutic | Treatments, drugs | Donepezil |
| Cell Type | Neurons, glia | Microglia |
| Clinical Trial | Human studies | NCT identifier |
| Researcher | Scientists | John Doe |
Every new page should have:
---
title: "Page Title"
description: "Brief description of page content"
published: true
tags: section:section-name, kind:entity-type, topic:disease
editor: markdown
---
Lead with the most important information — Don't bury the key facts in lengthy introductions.
Use clear headings — Organize content with ## and ### headings that describe what's in each section.
Be specific — Instead of "protein X is important", say "protein X phosphorylates tau at S396"
Include mechanisms — Explain HOW things work at the molecular level, not just WHAT happens.

Before publishing:
| Category | Do | Don't |
