Section editor guide
From WikiAnesthesia
Section editors are members of the WikiAnesthesia editorial team who are responsible for overseeing the creation and maintenance of content within their "section". If you are interested in becoming a section leader, please contact us here or email us at contact@wikianesthesia.org.
Responsibilities
Section editors have broad editorial authority to manage the content of their section, and have ultimate responsibility to:
- Author content and review edits from other users
- Ensure articles reflect current evidence-based practices
- Ensure articles have adequate and appropriate references cited
- Limit the scope of the content to ensure rapid usefulness at the point of care
- Use the "watch" feature to monitor changes and additions to content in the section
- Organize content
- Determine the list of articles to be included in a section
- This is not trivial. Article titles must be intuitive, have an appropriate level of granularity, and not be redundant with content covered in other articles
- Ensure article titles and content match style guidelines
- Create redirects (aliases) to allow articles to be found using alternative titles
- Update the table of contents
- Define and apply categories and subcategories to articles
- Determine the list of articles to be included in a section
- Revise article templates (if relevant)

Section editors are also encouraged to attend monthly WikiAnesthesia leadership team meetings, when possible.
