What do you want to See on the Psychology WikiEdit

Please let us know what you want to see on the Wiki. That way we can achieve a kind of consensus of opinion, and then set tasks for the community to achieve.

  • ...Weekly improvement drive: each week, Psychology Wikians could nominate and vote for an article that we can collectively improve upon. We could display our "Improvement drive article" on the Main page.Jaywin 13:04, 16 June 2006 (UTC). You can nominate articles on the improvement drive pageLifeartist 13:28, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
  • ...Article of the week: each week, Psychology Wikians could nominate and vote on what is believed to be an exceptional article and then display it on the Main Page Jaywin 13:04, 16 June 2006 (UTC) You can nominate articles at Featured article candidates page
  • ...Debate of the week: each week, Psychology Wikians could pick a controversial topic in psychology to debate. It could be displayed on the main page with a link to a "debate page" for that specific topic. Jaywin 13:04, 16 June 2006 (UTC) The debating chamber is already to go and can be found in the professional area Lifeartist 13:28, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Some tipsEdit

Good idea MostlyZen. So we will try and put joint messages up here.

I've been playing around with my preferences and discovered a few new tricks. In the options you can turn off the watchlist tick when you do a lot of copying so your list doesn't become unmanageably long. Its also taken me five months to realise that if you double click a page it will go to the edit version if you select the option. Saves looking for the edit tag. You probably know this already. Any other general tips.

We need a list of current talk pages we are active on 'cos Ive started to loose track

Here: Search for Active Talk pages


Google scholar searchEdit

You can set up a link for a google scholar search with this form, filling in the appropriate terms. I think this should be a standard item at the beginning of the bibliography/reference sections. In time google scholar will cover most of the references in the standard literature. It is also particularly useful when tring to build an article because you can search for references from within the wiki. I will have a look to see if we can accomplish the same thing with PubMed.

Page needs trimmingEdit

Particularly those big upper sections. Too much material for one page that most visitors have a good chance of seeing (because it's a sidebar link) and that should show nearly everything at a glance. "Portal" - "doorway" - or an anteroom/foyer with lots of labelled doors, none of them having too much on their labels!!

Create a specific page for each of the big boxes, with a link to it at the top of the box worded something like "See main page for this topic at [[...". Regularly "archive" to that page the older stuff in the box.
