Below a list of tasks we need your help with.
Suggested tasks
- Add ontology tags Details
- Connect interactions Details
- Fix pathway titles Details
- Update curation tags Details
Add ontology tags
The purpose of this task is to add relevant ontology terms to pathways, which serves as a way of organizing WikiPathways content. WikiPathways can be tagged with ontology terms from pathway, disease and cell type ontologies.
- Review the contents of the pathway, pathway description and bibliography to get an idea of what ontology tags are relevant.
- In the Ontology Tags section of the pathway page, find tags either by searching or by browsing the available ontologies.
- After selecting a term, add it to the pathway by clicking the Add check mark.
Connect interactions
A pathway may be tagged with the Unconnected interactions tag anytime ANY lines in the pathway are not connected to another object in the pathway. This includes lines that are purely graphical and that shouldn't be connected to objects. You can list pathways per curation tag here.
- To find out which lines are unconnected, click the Edit button to open the pathway in the editor and click Ctrl+L to highlight all unconnected lines.
- For lines representing interactions between datanodes or between datanodes and other objects, connect any unconnected lines according to instructions in Help.
- Once the pathway contains no unconnected lines, or if the remaining unconnected lines are purely graphical, remove the Unconnected lines tag from the pathway.
