Template documentation

This is the WikiProject banner template used by WikiProject Medicine to keep track of articles within its scope.All articles are categorised into Category:All WikiProject Medicine articles.

Basic usage

Place this on the talk page of relevant articles:

{{WikiProject Medicine |class= }}

Full usage

It is usual to remove any unused parameters from the template call.

{{WikiProject Medicine |category= |listas= |class= |needs-attention= |needs-infobox= |selected= |dyk= |needs-photo= |cardiology= |dermatology= |emergency= |gastroenterology= |hemonc= |translation= |society= |radiology= |reproductive= |toxicology= |genetics= |nephrology= |neurology= |ophthalmology= |pathology= |psychiatry= |pulmonology= }}

Parameters

• category – set |category=no if, and only if, a banner is being used for demonstration or testing purposes, to prevent unnecessary or undesirable categorization. Otherwise, omit this parameter.
• listas – this parameter, which is the equivalent of the DEFAULTSORT sortkey that should be placed on all biographical articles, is a sortkey for the article talk page (e.g. for John Smith, use |listas=Smith, John so that the talk page will show up in the Smith's and not the John's of the various assessment and administrative categories. Similarly, for topics with titles beginning with an article such as "the" or "a" - e.g. for The Matrix, use |listas=Matrix, The so that the talk page will show up in the Matrix's. 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. It is not required if another WikiProject template on the same page has its own {{para|listas}} set, since it affects the sortkey of all banners and templates.
• class – see #Quality assessment below.

Notes and alerts

• needs-attention – set |needs-attention=yes if the article needs immediate attention from experienced editors.

• dyk – set |dyk=yes or any non-blank value other than "no", "n" or "0". The following message will be displayed: "Information from this article appears on Portal:Medicine in the Did you know section." This will populate Category:Medicine portal did you know articles.

Classification of redirects and disambiguation pages

If the |class= parameter is not defined and the WikiProject banner is placed on the talk page of a redirect (in any namespace) or disambigation page then it will automatically be classified as follows:

• Redirects will automatically be classified as Redirect-class and placed in Category:Redirect-Class medicine articles.
• Disambiguation pages will automatically be classified as Disambig-class and placed in Category:Disambig-Class medicine articles.

Classification based on namespace

In addition, if |class= is empty, undefined or unrecognized, then the class will be deduced from the namespace of the page when possible.
