Updates to Article Attributes

Body was changed:

Articles form the encyclopaedic component encyclopaedic component of Radiopaedia.org and are collaborative efforts to create atomic reference articles for anything related to the practice of radiology. Unlike a textbook, journal publication or a written encyclopaedia encyclopaedia, Radiopaedia.org articles allow you and other users to expand, modify and update content as time passes. Thus, over time, our articles and content get better and better.

Articles can act as a basic reportingworkstation reference or as aleading point point to other published journal articles or textbooks textbooks as well as selected submitted cases on that topic (through its linked linked reference list at the bottom or attached case list on the right)   

Articles in essence are are collaborative works and are about about a particular topic. For example:

An article does not just have a title and content, it needs to havereferences and attributes that define what it is related to to (see: linking) and where it should be listed.

Where a term may relate to multiple articles an article for each instance is required, e.g. thelingula is an anatomical term that refer to a mandibular and pulmonary structure. For more information, seedisambiguation.
