Help Wanted
From Eterna Wiki
This page features specific ways for users to contribute to the Wiki. If an action item is completed, remove it from this page.
==Page Creation==
Here is a list of requested page creations (or that should redirect to existing pages - do a preliminary search for a redirect target before committing to a new content page):
- MS2, which is integral to a number of puzzles in the Supercomputer tutorial series
- Dimer
- Ionic bond
- Allele
- Molecular mass
- De novo
- Base pairs - make this search term redirect to Base Pair
- EternaBrain
- Minor groove
- Roles of RNA
- RNA Viruses
- In silico
- Motif
- Transfer RNA - this page should be created, and appropriate redirects (tRNA, etc.) should be added
- Any of the pages on Special:WantedPages
==Page Updates (Text)==
Here is a list of requested page updates:
- Eternacon - should be updated to include 2019, 2020, and 2021 reference material
- RNA - sections should be updated/expanded as appropriate - at minimum, each section should have a brief description, even if the main article is another page
- Manual of Style - should be expanded, potentially changed depending on the predominant existing style of the Wiki. Add conventions for preferred capitalizations of commonly used terms (Eterna or EteRNA? Eternabot or EternaBot?)
- Mole - should be updated to be more specific and accurate (a mole is more a representation of the number of molecules rather than explicitly a measure of weight or mass)
- RNA World Hypothesis - can expand written page content (What is the scientific basis for this hypothesis? Where did this hypothesis originate? etc.)
- Virus - can elaborate - add how viruses are relevant to RNA (which might involve discussion of the different broad types of viruses), should probably discuss/link to a page about mRNA vaccines and Eterna's vaccine efforts
- Hydrogen - can elaborate on importance of hydrogen - specifically, why exactly is hydrogen so crucial to life as we know it? (answer: hydrogen bonds, which the article should discuss and/or link to a hydrogen bond page)
- GU pair - current page does not adequately describe what the mentioned "watch theory" entails
==Page Updates (Visuals)==
Here are pages that can benefit from new and/or updated visuals:
- Melting temperature - potentially a plot illustrating melting temperature
- Virus - can definitely include more visuals here: potentially virus structures, virus sizes, virus life cycle
- Phosphate - visuals (particularly the one showing phosphate in the context of the backbone) can benefit from descriptive captions
- Hydrogen - add basic visual for hydrogen
- Hydrogen bond - ensure existing visuals have adequate captions. Additionally, the second visual needs to be attributed to its original source (appears to be from <a href="https://dx.doi.org/10.1093%2Fembo-reports%2Fkvd001">here</a>)
