Article of the Month

Main article: Psychology Wiki:Article of the Month

Clinical Depression Article

  • We are currently working on cleaning, adding to and correcting the article on Clinical Depression. The idea is to get this article to a very high standard, so that we can determine how we want our finalised articles to look. The idea of this is that:
  • 1) We can then show it off as an example of how the site will look to attract new users.
  • 2) It will serve as a guide for how to lay out future articles for future contributors to follow. Please see the article and its Talk Page.

  • Fixing broken links
  • Redirecting pages to the correct article
  • Adding missing articles that are linked to (red links)
  • Pointing out mistakes, holes, missing info to others
  • Helping to organise a particular area

We need to re-write our help pages so they are good for both the general user/contributor and specific to our project. See Help:Contents.

Need Template Specialist

We need someone who knows about templates to fix various template issues on the Wiki. For example: Endnote templates in the article: Brain.
