 +===== Primary and alternative (sub)sections =====
  
-Note that some subsections could fall under more than one section (i.e., "​alcohol use" could be seen as a subsection of "​lifestyle"​ or of "​nutrition",​ and "​mental illness"​ could fall under "​diseases & symptoms"​ or "​mental health"​). Similarly, individual variables may fit in more than one subsection. +Note that some subsections could fall under more than one section (i.e., "​alcohol use" could be seen as a subsection of "​lifestyle"​ or of "​nutrition",​ and "​mental illness"​ could fall under "​diseases & symptoms"​ or "​mental health"​).

 +\\ 
 +===== Default variables ===== 
 +Some Lifelines variables are provided by default in every issued dataset. As a result, these variables are not visible in the data-catalogue. An overview of the default variables can be found [[default_variables|here]]. 
 +\\ 
 +===== Changes in variable names ===== 
 + 
 +Note that we may occasionally change a variable name, if there is a valid reason to do so (i.e. the original name is deemed confusing, too informal, unexpected, inconsistent,​ or incorrect). You may find a full list of changed variable names following this link: [[changed variable names]].  
 +\\ 
 +===== Unfixable variables ===== 
 +Seldomly, we find variables that contain mistakes or inconsistencies. Most of the time these mistakes or inconsistencies will be corrected, but not always. You may find a full list of unfixable variables following this link with an explanation as to why they will not be fixed: [[unfixed variables]].
