Creating a RiskiPedia article is only a little bit harder than creating a WikiPedia article. Here's what you need to do:


1. Find a study or studies or data about some risk that you're interested in. For example, maybe you're interested in the risks of skydiving, BASE jumping, and other parachuting activities-- use Google Scholar and find the best research with data on the risks.

2. Insert the relevant data from the research into a RiskiPedia page. If the article about the risk will be called "Parachuting", create a page called "Parachuting/Data".  How? Just search for Parachuting/Data in the RiskiPedia page search box (at the top of the screen), and then poke the "Create the page Parachuting/Data" link that appears in the page-not-found result.

For example, the table of risks for skydiving and BASE jumping might be defined as:

Creating a RiskiPedia article is only a little bit harder than creating a WikiPedia article. Here's what you need to do:

  1. Find a study or studies or data about some risk that you're interested in. For example, maybe you're interested in the risks of skydiving, BASE jumping, and other parachuting activities-- use Google Scholar and find the best research with data on the risks.
  1. Insert the relevant data from the research into a RiskiPedia page. If the article about the risk will be called "Parachuting", create a page called "Parachuting/Data". How? Just search for Parachuting/Data in the RiskiPedia page search box (at the top of the screen), and then poke the "Create the page Parachuting/Data" link that appears in the page-not-found result. Data goes inside <datatable2> tags. Include references to the studies somewhere in the Data page (or in the data table), and add any relevant comments about the data right on the Data page. For example, the table of risks for skydiving and BASE jumping might be defined as:

<datatable2 table="skydiving" columns="variation|mean_fatality_rate|mean_injury_rate|reference">
Skydiving|0.000011|0.00044|[https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9859333/]
BASE jumping|0.0004|0.004|[https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17495709/]
</datatable2>

  1. Insert one or more "RiskModel" using the <RiskModel> tag into the /Data page. RiskModels define how to combine the various risk factors (as described in the data tables) to come up with a risk factor. They also define how to display the risk.
