User:DePiep

Given the nature of the request, it seems there might be a misunderstanding. The topic "User:DePiep" appears to refer to a user account on a platform (likely Wikipedia or a MediaWiki-based site), rather than a medical or encyclopedic subject suitable for an article. User accounts typically do not have encyclopedia articles due to privacy, relevance, and the nature of encyclopedic content. However, I can demonstrate how to format a generic MediaWiki article on a hypothetical medical topic, incorporating the requested elements. This should provide a clear example of how to structure and format content within a MediaWiki environment, including the use of internal links, categories, and templates.

Hypertension

Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a common condition in which the long-term force of the blood against your artery walls is high enough that it may eventually cause health problems, such as heart disease.

Causes

The exact causes of hypertension are often not clear. However, several factors and conditions may play a role in its development, including:

• Smoking
• Obesity or being overweight
• Lack of physical activity
• Too much salt in the diet
• Too much alcohol consumption
• Stress
• Older age
• Genetics

Symptoms

Most people with hypertension are asymptomatic, which means they do not exhibit any symptoms. In some cases, people with high blood pressure may experience:

• Headaches
• Shortness of breath
• Nosebleeds
• Flushing
• Dizziness

However, these symptoms are not specific and usually don't occur until high blood pressure has reached a severe or life-threatening stage.

Diagnosis

Hypertension is diagnosed using a blood pressure monitor. The American Heart Association defines hypertension as a systolic blood pressure higher than 130 mm Hg or a diastolic blood pressure higher than 80 mm Hg.

Treatment

Treatment for hypertension includes both prescription medication and healthy lifestyle changes. If the condition isn't treated, it could lead to health issues, including heart attack and stroke.

This example includes the basic structure of a MediaWiki article on a medical topic, with sections for the introduction, causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of hypertension. It also includes internal links to related articles, a references section (which would be populated with specific citations in a real article), and categorization tags. The `

` template is added at the end to indicate that the article is a stub related to medicine, inviting further contributions to expand it.
