In strict medical terms, the name Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) refers only to a pattern of symptoms (see below). It can't be called a disease because there's no medical test that can link all cases (like the HIV test does in AIDS). But many people believe CFS is one illness because so many cases are so similar.

''Please submit bugs with a '''bold title''' and date, and a specific reference.''


There are four main categories of symptoms in CFS:
== UNCONFIRMED ==
''Newly submitted bugs which no one has been able to duplicate yet.''


*Fatigue: People with CFS experience profound, overwhelming exhaustion, which gets worse after exertion and can never be fully relieved by sleep.

:Looks like someone forgot to fill out the "user name" box when they created an account. It probably shouldn't create the account anyway when that happens... --[[user:Brion VIBBER|Brion Vibber]]


**Cognitive Problems: People with CFS have trouble remembering words, names, and places, find it hard to concentrate, and have trouble thinking straight.

**Neurological problems include dizziness and light-headedness, especially when standing up quickly.

Sat Jan 26 21:52:32 2002 (Central) The HTML titles of history pages all read ":encyclopedia article from Wikipedia". --[[user:AxelBoldt|AxelBoldt]]


Some cases of CFS start gradually, but the majority start suddenly, often triggered by the flu or some other illness. People with CFS may get better after a few years or many years or may not get better at all. No one is sure whether anybody is truly cured or whether their illness has just subsided enough for them to live a more normal life.

'''"List only new changes" doesn't work'''


[[Chronic_Fatigue_Syndrome/Activity|/Activity]]_levels
Sat Jan 26 20:31:56 2002 (Central) On [[special:RecentChanges]], the link saying "list only new changes" consistently returns an empty list, even after waiting a while. --[[user:AxelBoldt|AxelBoldt]]


Some people are more limited than others. The sickest are housebound, while some people are self-reliant, and some are able to work or attend school. Some people with CFS can push themselves to do extraordinary things but feel much worse afterward.
:Right! Same here. Maybe because i'm using a +8 hours offset? --[[user:Luis Oliveira|Luis Oliveira]]


[[Chronic_Fatigue_Syndrome/Getting|/Getting]]_diagnosed
::Yes, there's a bug in the time zone handling code. I am on Central time (Server time + 2h) which I set in my user preferences and I noticed that the "List only new changes" link returns something only after I wait for 2 hours, and then only those changes that have occured two hours since I last accessed RecentChanges. [[user:AxelBoldt|AxelBoldt]]


Diagnosing CFS is very difficult. There is no conclusive test for CFS, so doctors must rely on their experience and intuition. However, some doctors are not familiar with CFS and some refuse to diagnose it. This situation is rapidly changing, with more doctors willing to diagnose it and more diagnoses each year.

'''[[special:WantedPages|Most wanted page]] listing links with trailing whitespace'''


[[Chronic_Fatigue_Syndrome/Demographics|/Demographics]]
Sat Jan 26: The "Most wanted" page indicates that a whole bunch of pages want a "Year in Review/Guidelines" page, but that page already exists. Upon poking around a bit more, I found that all of the pages who supposedly had a link to the non-existant page had links with a trailing space, and this was being considered different from the link without a trailing space. For example:


Studies estimate that there are between 75 and 420 cases per 100,000 adults in the U.S. This comes to between 200,000 and 1,000,000 adults with CFS. Between 60% and 85% of these people are women. Adolescents and children also get CFS, possibly less often than adults.
*[[Year in Review/Guidelines|Guidelines]] without trailing whitespace
*[[Year in Review/Guidelines |Guidelines]] with trailing whitespace


[[Chronic_Fatigue_Syndrome/Related|/Related]]_illnesses
The "wanted" page considers the second link to point to a non-existant page.


There are some illnesses so similar to CFS that it is hard to distinguish between them. People with [[Fibromyalgia]] have muscle pain and sleep disturbances. Those with [[Multiple Chemical Sensitivities]] (MCS) are sensitive to chemicals and have sleep disturbances. Many veterans with [[Gulf War Illness]] (GWI) have symptoms almost identical to CFS.

'''Ampersand in URLs'''

Sun Jan 27 01:11:52 UTC 2002:
URLs containing ampersands should have them escaped as an entity reference, i.e. &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;.

Sat Jan 26

The link to the tarballs from the home page doesn't work. It gives the error "You don't have permission to access /tarballs/ on this server".

Also, there was a problem in the past when the tarballs did work: there was no date in the tarball filename or on the page with the link, so you never knew how old the tarball was.

"Mangled ampersands in raw unicode"

Sat Jan 26 02:55 am PDT 2002

When entering raw unicode such as

&#26009; &#29702; &#12398; &#37444; &#20154;

( the 5 japanese characters for [[Iron Chef]] ) in the editing pane and then clicking the preview button, the preview shows the correct characters, but the text in the preview pane is mangled to be

&amp;amp;#26009; &amp;amp;#29702; &amp;amp;#12398; &amp;amp;#37444; &amp;amp;#20154;

Which when displayed in your browser is what the raw unicode should look like in the html source. Previewing a second time results in

&amp;amp;amp;#26009; &amp;amp;amp;#29702; &amp;amp;amp;#12398; &amp;amp;amp;#37444; &amp;amp;amp;#20154;

and so on. This may be a problem with my browser (IE 5 on MacOS9). Also occurs when doing "edit this page" -- I just had to remove the 15 extra 'amp;' from the above description -- [[Olof]]

:+1, this is quite annoying. I'm not even sure what the text above was supposed to look like now. --[[user:Carey Evans|Carey Evans]]

::The parser seems to be overeager in converting ampersands to ampersand-a-m-p-semicolons when they're followed by the pattern for a character entity in WikiPage::subParseContents(), where I don't *think* it should be doing that.

At least on Mozilla, long URLs or wide tables like at [[salicylic acid]] or [[Japanese language]] widen the containing table cell so much the rest of the paragraphs are almost impossible to read.
--[[user:Carey Evans|Carey Evans]]

:This would be a general problem with wide tables, images, and pre-tags... The trick is to make them a reasonable size when you write them, I guess. I've rearranged the table on the acid; the Japanese text can be squooshed down a bit; but I notice another thing there. There's a link inside a pre-tag which, being in a pre-tag, doesn't get linked but instead is treated as raw text. Is there any way to deliberately insert a link into a preformatted text chunk? Oh, and I'm also having edit conflicts with myself. Very annoying. --[[user:Brion VIBBER|Brion Vibber]]

are taken to the following url, http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki.cgi, and the page just reads "Invalid URL."

--Paulcz {first time on wikipedia, so it's possibly a user error, but it is consistent on different pages).

hmmm. Also, I just tried the preview button at the bottom of this Editing page and nothing happened. I'm on IE 5.5 by the way.

I've just looked on many pages trying to figure out if I should make a page for my name, such as I see for other people. If so, is that just a regular page with the title paulcz?

Also, I've tried to figure out WHERE I should ask questions such as the one I just asked, and have had no luck, so I figured I'd tag it on here. That would be a good thing to tell newbies (eg, "if you still have questions, edit page 'xxxx' to ask them" or something like that.

'''Japanese Wikipedia marked as ISO 8859-1''' 2001-12-31

http://ja.wikipedia.com is illegible with IE 5.0 (Mac) because its HTTP (MIME) header
includes the line

The charset should be changed to something appropriate (Shift_JIS or UTF8), or
removed and replaced by the equivalent META tag.

On a similar note, visitors to http://www.wikipedia.com should be automatically
redirected to the Wikipedia written in the language of their choice, as expressed in
their browser language preferences. -- poslfit

'''CRLF line endings''' 2001-12-19

In [[David Lynch]], as an example, if you inspect the resulting page, apparently, each ''stored'' line is ended with a CR-LF sequence. However, if I edit it within Lynx, the endings disappear, as they don't exist on Unix. That's all good, but all edits will then differ in all the lines (since no lines match their previous version, everything has a different ending..) See, for example: [[http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki.cgi?action=browse&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;diff=1&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;id=RoseParks/Disability_Etiquette&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;diffrevision=2]] I just fixed a typo in the first lines, and it looks as if everything has changed. Arguably, Lynx, and/or my text editor can be at fault too, but I don't think CR-LF should be stored as part of the text either.. --Chexum

:Somewhere between Lynx version 2.8.2 and 2.8.4, now Lynx also submits texts with the CR-LF line-endings, so it's a bit better. I still think that they souldn't be there on the displayed entries. --[[Chexum]]

:: 'Twas a bug in Lynx. The HTTP standard [http://rfc.net/rfc2616.html RFC 2616], section 2.2, states that everything but entity bodies should use CR-LF line endings.

Revision as of 18:41, 28 January 2002

In strict medical terms, the name Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) refers only to a pattern of symptoms (see below). It can't be called a disease because there's no medical test that can link all cases (like the HIV test does in AIDS). But many people believe CFS is one illness because so many cases are so similar.

/Symptoms

There are four main categories of symptoms in CFS:

  • Fatigue: People with CFS experience profound, overwhelming exhaustion, which gets worse after exertion and can never be fully relieved by sleep.
  • Pain: Pain in CFS includes muscle pain, joint pain, headaches, stomachaches, lymph node pain, and sore throats.
  • Cognitive Problems and Neurological Problems:
    • Cognitive Problems: People with CFS have trouble remembering words, names, and places, find it hard to concentrate, and have trouble thinking straight.
    • Neurological problems include dizziness and light-headedness, especially when standing up quickly.
  • Sensitivies: People with CFS tend to be sensitive to light, sound, and some chemicals and foods.

/Long_term_course

Some cases of CFS start gradually, but the majority start suddenly, often triggered by the flu or some other illness. People with CFS may get better after a few years or many years or may not get better at all. No one is sure whether anybody is truly cured or whether their illness has just subsided enough for them to live a more normal life.

/Activity_levels

Some people are more limited than others. The sickest are housebound, while some people are self-reliant, and some are able to work or attend school. Some people with CFS can push themselves to do extraordinary things but feel much worse afterward.

/Getting_diagnosed

Diagnosing CFS is very difficult. There is no conclusive test for CFS, so doctors must rely on their experience and intuition. However, some doctors are not familiar with CFS and some refuse to diagnose it. This situation is rapidly changing, with more doctors willing to diagnose it and more diagnoses each year.

/Demographics

Studies estimate that there are between 75 and 420 cases per 100,000 adults in the U.S. This comes to between 200,000 and 1,000,000 adults with CFS. Between 60% and 85% of these people are women. Adolescents and children also get CFS, possibly less often than adults.

/Related_illnesses

There are some illnesses so similar to CFS that it is hard to distinguish between them. People with Fibromyalgia have muscle pain and sleep disturbances. Those with Multiple Chemical Sensitivities (MCS) are sensitive to chemicals and have sleep disturbances. Many veterans with Gulf War Illness (GWI) have symptoms almost identical to CFS.
