Healthpages.wiki is an open, collaborative platform based on the same MediaWiki [1] software that drives the world's largest online reference, Wikipedia [2]. While traditional wikis contain only text which computers can neither understand nor evaluate, Healthpages.wiki uses semantic annotations that enables wikis to make their knowledge computer-processable and allow wiki to function as a collaborative database.

Using Healthpages.wiki

This section explains how Healthpages.wiki works and gives answers to some common questions.

Whether you're a first-time user or an experienced data-contributor, you'll find some useful hints here.

Getting to know us

Healthpages.wiki helps you find and use resources relating to health services in Australia. It's more than a search engine. Healthpages brings together content from doctor practices, hospitals, clinics, news, social-media, health and research organisations and gives you tools to explore and build.

Healthpages is many things: a community, a collaboration, a set of services, a platform, an aggregation of metadata, and a growing repository of digital resources.

Navigation

When viewing any page on a Healthpages.wiki, you'll find three main navigation elements:

  1. The sidebar on the left gives you access to important pages in the wiki such as Recent changes or main categories.
  2. At the top of the page are links (often called tabs) which relate to the page currently displayed: its associated discussion page, the version history, and—most notably—the edit link.
  3. In the top right corner you'll find user links; as an anonymous user, you'll see a link to create an account or log in (they are the same page). As a logged-in user you have a collection of personal links, including ones to your user page and preferences.
