Editing and Contributing
The ePOM is authored by a team of our senior medical staff. Questions, comments and requests can be directed to the Chief of Staff or Medical Director.
Redlinks
The contents of the ePOM are in flux. Editors can create links before a page is made. These show up in red (in the wiki world, these are known as "redlinks"). Clicking on one of those links will take you to an empty page. If you are logged in as an editor, you can create the page yourself. You can use your browser's backbutton to escape if you're not ready yet.
Editing
The ePOM uses a lightweight graphical editor to simplify the process of editing pages, but the standard wiki markup you may be familiar with from other wikis is still valid. As is a lot of simple html, if you're familiar with basic markup. You may find this cheatsheet helpful.
Pages with Structure
When a page has more than three headings in it, the wiki automatically generates a table of contents.
