=== Experiment VS Observational studies  ===

many wanted pages are conferences

Experimenting is to formally state spell out and control for as many variables as you can. Science.  Because user makes sure to change nothing else during the experiment many issues with analyzing time based relations do no happen. Consequently linear regression, ttest, causal analysis and breakpoint detection work. Maybe some complications in establishing baseline. This needs a page combining (or two and not combining) experimental design and the techniques above.

=== Should information from the community meeting notes be transferred to wiki? ===

Second type is observational study. Just monitoring all the variables without a specific structure or interventions. This is what most health trackers do and is useful for many reasons. Also may remove placebo and stress or nervousness effect from a more formal experiment. Unfortunately this is where all those issues I mentioned in [[finding]] and many more in the links all are relevant.

There may be lots and lots of information but the people offering it were maybe not doing it wiht the intent to have it added to a wiki? - [[User:DG]]

: I think the limitation of participants in the calls not having the intention of it ending up on the Wiki is one thing that's really important. The other thing is also that it's not easy to convert the meeting notes into really useful pages. That's why [[User:Madprime]], [[User:katoss]] and I so far went with the ''compromise''-solution of tagging the tools/topics/projects that were discussed in a given meeting to cross-link to the Google Doc, but I'd say how we handle this remains open for discussion. - [[User:Gedankenstuecke|Gedankenstuecke]] ([[User talk:Gedankenstuecke|talk]]) 16:55, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

Maybe this comparison may need to be a page too. [[User:DG|DG]] ([[User talk:DG|talk]]) 03:22, 6 March 2022

:: Late follow-up but I guess I'd say ... if the notes bring attention to information or ideas that is otherwise publicly available then it seems fine to add stuff about those topics, based on the public information available elsewhere. But I don't think the notes should be used as a primary source: it's unplanned informal discussion, and the notes may also have errors and gaps.

=== does mediawiki allow upvoting? ===

I want to upvote articles and contributions reflexively from all the time i spent on reddit. Is there any way to this a feature on this wiki? [[User:DG|DG]] ([[User talk:DG|talk]]) 21:41, 10 March 2022

=== add keywords and search terms to page ===
 +
Pages may be misnamed and require constant redirecting. When someone searches for the page either here in the wiki or on google they may use very different terms than writer. I think each page should have a synonym and unique terms section.
 +
For example "longevity[1][2], life expectancy, gerontology, life extension" some could be titles but each could be search term. [[User:DG|DG]] ([[User talk:DG|talk]]) 20:47, 10 March 2022

: I don't think there's an easy way to do this with Mediawiki, or at least I only found extensions for comments on talk pages that would allow this. Given that Wikis typically have a slower turn-around for content, while also being dynamically generated it might not be the best solution (e.g. you upvote a page at time-point A but after a number of changes to the page it's not really representing what you liked anymore). I think Wikipedia solves this by 'flagging' articles after a discussion, e.g. when you look at the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Genetics Genetics] article talk page on Wikipedia it shows up as a ''featured article'', and ''rated on a quality scale'' etc. In the long-run a similar solution might be good here too, but probably overkill in the short-term. - [[User:Gedankenstuecke|Gedankenstuecke]] ([[User talk:Gedankenstuecke|talk]]) 16:52, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
