This WikiProject banner template uses Module:WikiProject banner, a meta-template for easily creating and maintaining project banners. Please report any errors or feature requests to Module talk:WikiProject banner. Information or warnings about the template are below:

The 17 task forces and/or work groups will automatically collapse if more than 5 of them are displayed. To change this setting, set or update the |TF_COLLAPSE= parameter.
The 7 notes in this template will automatically collapse if more than 2 of them are activated. To change this setting, set or update the |COLLAPSED= parameter.
This banner template includes a link to Portal:Medicine, and the accompanying image is File:WHO Rod.svg. See the instructions on how to change this.
Automatic parameter checking is enabled and pages with invalid parameters can be found in the tracking category.
There are too many task forces to check the assessment categories for each one, so the following selection have been checked: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 13, 14.

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template is used on approximately 69,000 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

This is the talk page banner for Wikipedia:WikiProject Medicine.

Scope of the project

WikiProject Medicine supports articles on diseases and medical conditions in humans. It often supports articles on medications, medical treatments, healthcare occupations, and medical education.

Please do not spam this banner to the talk page of articles with remote connections to medicine: This project does not support the medicalization of everyday life. If you place this banner on an article and it is removed by a member of the project, please do not re-add the banner. This WikiProject reserves the right to define its own scope.

Usage

Please note: This template should be transcluded as {{WikiProject Medicine}} and not substituted, because it employs conditional code. Transclusion also allows easy updating of all the Project's talk pages without having to edit tens of thousands of pages. Many of these parameters place the talk page of the article into an appropriate category.

WPMED may be used in place of WikiProject Medicine.

Place this template on the talk page of medical articles.

Basic usage

The class and importance parameters are mandatory but the values may initially be blank.

{{WikiProject Medicine
|class= <!--Start, Stub, etc. see Assessment note below--> 
|importance= <!--see Importance scale note below -->
}}

Alternately, WPMED may be used in place of WikiProject Medicine.

{{WPMED
|class= <!--Start, Stub, etc. see Assessment note below--> 
|importance= <!--see Importance scale note below -->
}}

Assessment

This project participates in the WP:1.0 assessment program.

Quality scale

|class= Options are FA, FL, A, GA, B, C, Start, Stub, List, Category, Disambig, Template or NA. If left blank, this will default to Unassessed. For descriptions of the options, information, and guidelines for assessing an article, or to request reconsideration of an article's assessment or the removal of a banner from an article, please see Wikipedia:WikiProject Medicine/Assessment.
- This parameter populates the following categories: Category:FA-Class medicine articles; Category:FL-Class medicine articles; Category:A-Class medicine articles; Category:GA-Class medicine articles; Category:B-Class medicine articles; Category:C-Class medicine articles; Category:Start-Class medicine articles; Category:Stub-Class medicine articles; Category:List-Class medicine articles; Category:Category-Class medicine articles; Category:Disambig-Class medicine articles; Category:Template-Class medicine articles; Category:NA-Class medicine articles; and Category:Unassessed medicine articles.

Importance scale

|importance= Options are Top, High, Mid, Low, and NA. If left blank, this will default to Unknown. For descriptions of the options, information, and guidelines for rating an article's importance, please see this WikiProject's importance scale.
- This parameter populates the following categories: Category:Top-importance medicine articles; Category:High-importance medicine articles; Category:Mid-importance medicine articles; Category:Low-importance medicine articles; Category:NA-importance medicine articles; and Category:Unknown-importance medicine articles.

Special pages

This project does not normally tag the talk pages of redirect pages. Redirects that have been categorized because they are well-known alternative names for a medical condition may be tagged. If a redirect needs to be tagged, please immediately set the parameters to: | class=Redirect | importance=NA

Portal elements

|selected=yes (article is a selected article on Portal:Medicine)
|dyk=yes (a fact from the article appears on the Portal:Medicine/Did you know section on Portal:Medicine)

Collaboration

|MCOTM=prev (article was a previous Wikipedia:WikiProject Medicine/Collaboration of the Month)
|MCOTM=nom (article is a current Wikipedia:WikiProject Medicine/Collaboration of the Month nominee)
|MCOTM=cur (article is the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Medicine/Collaboration of the Month)

Listas

|listas= This parameter, which is the equivalent of the DEFAULTSORT sortkey that should be placed on all medical articles about people, is a sortkey for the article talk page (e.g. for Jonas Salk, |listas=Salk, Jonas, so that the talk page will show up in the S's and not the J's of the various assessment and administrative categories). This is important because it is one source used by those who set DEFAULTSORT on the article; consider also setting the DEFAULTSORT for the article when setting this parameter. For more information about this, please see Wikipedia:Categorization of people#Ordering names in a category.
