The synonyms should be created into redirects, so that anyone searching for the synonym will be automatically directed to the disease page you are creating.
First check that the synonyms do not already have pages that exist. If duplicate pages exist, they should all be redirected to a single page. This is to avoid duplicating content for the same disease.
Creating a redirect: For example, to create a redirect so that someone searching for the synonym Alport syndrome would be directed to the hereditary nephritis page, type Alport syndrome into the main search box on Wikidoc. If the page has not been created, it will say "There were no results matching this query". Click where it says "create the page Alport syndrome on this Wiki!", which will take you directly to the edit box. Type in the edit box #redirectHereditary nephritis Click the save button at the bottom of the edit box.
After you have created the redirect, test it out by searching for the redirect you created.
You can also create redirects for alternate spellings or errors that could be made when searching for a disease. For example, you could create redirects for "Alport's syndrome", "Alpert syndrome", or "Alpert's syndrome". For more help on how to create redirects, click here.
