There are 4 main types of pages on the Psychology Wiki


 * Guide Pages have a pale yellow background (like this page) and are designed to give users useful information about the Psychology Wiki, as well as how to use and contribute to it.


 * Index Pages have a pale blue background??? These are lists of topics, and sublists of subtopics. They are intended to help you navigate the Psychology Wiki and find the topic you want to read.

For example:


 * Clinical Psychology
 * Clinical Psychology: Types of Problem
 * Problems Defined by the DSM-IV codes
 * Schizophrenia
 * Treatment for Schizophrenia



Alternatively you can use the search function. Index pages can be reached from the browsebar, which is at the top of the screen on this page, and is normally at the top of, or right hand side of most Guide pages.


 * Content Pages have no background colour and so are mostly black and white. These are the main content of the site, representing the knowledge base of the psychology wiki.

Content pages are intended to have a balanced and neutral point of view, allowing for criticisms and alternative viewpoints if the subject has no general consensus. Content on these pages should eventually be fully academically referenced (to APA standards), but at this stage all content will not be at this stage. You can help the psychology wiki by improving articles.


 * User Experiences have a light orange??? background. These pages are where users of psychological services can give share their personal experiences, with complete anonymity with the community of the Psychology Wiki.

The user experiences will normally be attached to a userpage and linked to from the appropriate section. For example, the page Depression will link to Depression:Experiences which in turn will link to Mostly Zen's experiences of depression.

It is intended for these experiences to be totally anonymous in order to assure confidentiality. Hence if a contributor wishes to share experiences, they will be allowed to create an alterego userpage, in order to anonymously share their experiences.

It is likely that as the Psychology Wiki progresses though, that many of the user experiences will be from people who would otherwise not be contributors. Experiences could be added by clinical psychologists on behalf of patients in their care, provided they have appropriate permission and consent. All experiences submitted may be removed at any time should the contributor wish to withdraw them from the site.
