Specialized help pages
There is much more help material available on Wikipedia, much of it specialized for very specific types of articles or specific editing tasks. Here are a few help pages that are particularly relevant to students working on Wikipedia:
- How to edit medical topics — Medical topics have particularly stringent rules for the proper use of sources, so if you're going to work on medicine-related articles (including psychology), this is a helpful primer. You can also read a pdf primer on editing medical topics, or for editing in psychology or sociology.
- Citing books — If you're working primarily from books as your sources, citing different pages at different points in the article, this guide shows how you can format the citations. We also have a .pdf you can use as a reference.
- Here are some helpful do's and don't's for choosing an article.
- Module 5: Background — If you want to learn more about Wikipedia and its history, you can check out the optional fifth module of this orientation.
