Please see [[User_talk:Arcadian#Template:DiseaseDisorder_infobox]]. If this box is going to be used, I will support a limited form that gives easy access to ICD codes, but I oppose the "cause", "diagnosis", "treatment", "incidence", "prevalence". The information in these fields is often very subtle, has regional variation and would be almost impossible to reference from this box.

The page [[Thrombocytopenia]] starts with a plain wikilink to the category [[:Category:Pages with Infobox medical condition using multiple parameters for one]]. I presume that you actually want to add the article to that category, and so the colon at the start of the wikilink in this template's code should be removed.

Consensus [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Medicine/Archive_97#Infobox_update_April_2017|here]] has depreciated this template, in favour of [[template:Infobox medical condition (new)]] in combination with [[template:medical resources]]. Please add {{strong|<nowiki>{{Deprecated template|Infobox medical condition|Infobox medical condition (new)|note=For adding classification data, see [[template:medical resources]]|date=August 2017}}</nowiki>}} if deemed appropriate.

Per your questions: (1) "Shall we move it to a shorter name?" I wouldn't have a problem with moving it to a shorter name. I've seen lots of arguments about whether something was a disease or a disorder, and my goal was just to sidestep the argument by explictly incorporating both elements into the name. But if you wanted to move it to a new name, I wouldn't object. (2) "In the boxes you placed, each one says hypoglycemia". I apologize for my error. I was copying over the template, and forgot to substitute the name. It looks like you have already fixed this, and I thank you for doing so. (3) "Are we using ICD-9 codes (as you have done) or ICD-10 ones?" I see you have updated the template already, so that issue appears moot. I'll try to create a page [[List of ICD-10 codes]], parallel to [[List of ICD-9 codes]]. Before I do so, do you know if 10 is free for us to use, and if there is a good site for us to get these codes? I know we had clearance on 9, per [[Talk:International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems]]. --[[User:Arcadian|Arcadian]] 5 July 2005 15:13 (UTC) |

The purpose of this edit is to provide increased privacy and security for users by having the template use HTTPS when generating links to Patient UK. (As a side note, a previous comment states that the template is deprecated; however, it appears that there are still [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AWhatLinksHere&limit=500&target=Template%3AInfobox+medical+condition&namespace= many pages] on which the template is used.) In particular, it appears that URLs of the form <code><nowiki>http://patient.info/doctor/xxxxxx</nowiki></code> generate a [[HTTP 301|301 Moved Permanently]] redirect to <code><nowiki>https://patient.info/doctor/xxxxxx</nowiki></code> which in some cases is followed by a subsequent 301 redirect to another HTTPS URL. For example, http://patient.info/doctor/Body-Dysmorphic-Disorder-(BDD) generates a 301 redirect to https://patient.info/doctor/Body-Dysmorphic-Disorder-(BDD) which then generates a 301 redirect to https://patient.info/doctor/body-dysmorphic-disorder-pro. In the template, please change <code><nowiki>http://patient.info/doctor/</nowiki></code> to <code><nowiki>https://patient.info/doctor/</nowiki></code> instead.

== Possible fix for broken eMedicine search link == |
|||
:I cannot possibly imagine there would be restrictions of ''referencing'' to ICD-10 codes. There may be copyright issues on republishing the WHOLE list, which we may need to settle. All large health organisations use ICD-10 for coding, so I shouldn't think there would be a problem in using it. |
|||
:Strictly speaking, do you think the box needs at the top? I'm open to persuation either way, but many articles have images at the top that would be cluttered with a box. On the other hand: where else would we put it? [[User:Jfdwolff|JFW]] | [[User_talk:Jfdwolff|<small>T@lk</small>]] 5 July 2005 19:24 (UTC) |
|||
At the current time, the template has the ability to generate a link for doing a search on eMedicine. If the search query is <code><nowiki>infection</nowiki></code>, for example, the URL for the search link would be http://search.medscape.com/emedicine-search?queryText=infection. However, it appears that search URLs of this format are broken; accessing such a URL generates a series of redirects that eventually lead to the URL <code><nowiki>https://search.medscape.com/search/?</nowiki></code> on the Medscape site and no search results are shown. It appears that it is possible to do a search on the Medscape site by using the URL https://search.medscape.com/search/?q=XXXX where XXXX is the search query term(s), though it is not clear as to whether all of the search results are specific to eMedicine. Would it be useful to change the template to use this URL format for doing eMedicine searches? --[[User:Elegie|Elegie]] ([[User talk:Elegie|talk]]) 11:18, 24 February 2018 (UTC) |
|||
For your question about should the infobox be on top -- I don't have a problem if it isn't at the top. On the other hand, if your concerns was that it would conflict with other pages that have an image near the top, then we could incorporate a location for the image directly into the template. This could help provide a more consistent interface for the diseases. For example, this is what is done with albums (see [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flood_%28album%29#Track_listing]].) --[[User:Arcadian|Arcadian]] 6 July 2005 20:31 (UTC) |
|||
== Error in template == |
|||
Per the 9/10 issue -- how would you feel if we added a second line to the template, so that we could store both the 9 and 10 code. The 9 codes are still commonly used in the United States, and we also have a more explicit release to use them than we have for the 10 codes. Also, another user left a message objecting to 10-centric (?) orientation at [[Talk:International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems]] (scroll to bottom). We could address this by adding another line to the template, and in a few years, if 9 codes become fully deprecated, then we could update all the disease pages at once just by updating the template. Any thoughts/objections? --[[User:Arcadian|Arcadian]] 6 July 2005 20:31 (UTC) |
|||
It seems that the template creates the following error for all instances now: |

|||
== Move discussion in progress == |
|||
::Ok, I've updated the template to include both 9 and 10, and fixed the linked pages where I had the codes (I have a source for 9 but not for 10, so I left those blank for now.) For the image idea -- I'll give people a week or so to object, and if nobody does, then I'll put that in. Thanks again for your assistance and guidance. --[[User:Arcadian|Arcadian]] 6 July 2005 21:06 (UTC) |

==&nbsp; instead of whitespace== |
|||
I have put &nbsp; instead of whitespace in '''ICD-9/10 code:''' because it tends to get broken into two lines if the text on the right hand side is sufficiently long (e.g. see [[Auditory processing disorder]]). Looks good to me now but feel free to revert if there's any trouble with this layout. [[User:GregorB|GregorB]] 21:55, August 27, 2005 (UTC) |

|||
== Symptoms/Signs == |
|||
Please do not put ICD boxes on pages just dealing with a symptom[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ataxia&diff=22595964&oldid=21576119]. This creates confusion and adds very little information. [[User:Jfdwolff|JFW]] | [[User_talk:Jfdwolff|<small>T@lk</small>]] 06:26, 5 September 2005 (UTC) |
|||
: I have created the [[Template:SignSymptom infobox]] to address your concerns. The ICD codes do add valuable information -- see the sections [[List_of_ICD-9_codes#16._Symptoms.2C_signs.2C_and_ill-defined_conditions_.28780-799.29|ICD 9 signs/symptoms]] and [[List_of_ICD-10_codes#R00-R99_-_Symptoms.2C_signs_and_abnormal_clinical_and_laboratory_findings.2C_not_elsewhere_classified|ICD 10 signs/symptoms]]. --[[User:Arcadian|Arcadian]] 15:24, 5 September 2005 (UTC) |

|||
==User JFW has expressed the following three concerns== |
|||
===Process=== |
|||
* Should each infobox be discussed here before adding it to the page, or should we add them to the page and then improve them incrementally? --[[User:Arcadian|Arcadian]] 00:36, 6 September 2005 (UTC) |
|||
::I was not suggesting this, but sometimes a box clouds matters and could be discussed on talk. [[User:Jfdwolff|JFW]] | [[User_talk:Jfdwolff|<small>T@lk</small>]] 07:17, 6 September 2005 (UTC) |
|||
:::Then we may be on complete agreement on this, then, and can close the item. I'm presuming that when you say "could be discussed on talk", you're referring to the normal Wiki process of incremental improvement, and if so, then we have no disagreement. However, if you were referring to something else in your prior communication to me, please clarify (feel free to create a new header below if you feel I have paraphrased your prior objections inaccurately.) --[[User:Arcadian|Arcadian]] 14:42, 10 September 2005 (UTC) |
|||
OK. [[User:Jfdwolff|JFW]] | [[User_talk:Jfdwolff|<small>T@lk</small>]] 20:25, 10 September 2005 (UTC) |
|||
===Diseases/Disorders vs. Signs/Symptoms=== |
|||
* How should we handle conditions like [[Ataxia]], which can be both diseases and signs? --[[User:Arcadian|Arcadian]] 00:36, 6 September 2005 (UTC) |
|||
::Ataxia is a symptom, and it is caused by many diseases, ranging from inebriation to cerebellar infarcts and [[ataxia telangiectasia]]. It is ''not'' a disease in itself. The ICD-10 assigns an "R" code to symptoms that are not medical diagnoses. [[User:Jfdwolff|JFW]] | [[User_talk:Jfdwolff|<small>T@lk</small>]] 07:17, 6 September 2005 (UTC) |
|||
:::I agree with everything you've stated. And I'd be happy to clearly identify symptoms in ways that made it clear that they were not diagnoses. But I do think there is benefit to providing clearer definitions of these symptoms and better distinctions between them, and I think that the ICD codes will help drive to that result. Was your objection to the perceived blurring between symptoms and diagnoses, or to the use of ICD codes on symptoms? Or something else? --[[User:Arcadian|Arcadian]] 14:42, 10 September 2005 (UTC) |
|||
There are many symptom-related articles on Wikipedia that would not be associated with an ICD code. I think infoboxing symptom articles is best avoided, as it blurs the line between symptom and disease entity. Mentioning a symptom's ICD code is in itself not a problem... [[User:Jfdwolff|JFW]] | [[User_talk:Jfdwolff|<small>T@lk</small>]] 20:25, 10 September 2005 (UTC) |
|||
===Ranges=== |
|||
* How should we handle conditions like [[Leukemia]], which is not a single disease with a single code but covers the ICD-10 range from C91-C95? --[[User:Arcadian|Arcadian]] 00:36, 6 September 2005 (UTC) |
|||
::It is my view that putting a box on a page like this creates the impression that "leukemia" without a modifier is ''one'' disease (''quod non''). [[Chronic myelogenous leukemia]] ''should'' have a box, or [[acute promyelocytic leukemia]], but not the disambiguation page. [[User:Jfdwolff|JFW]] | [[User_talk:Jfdwolff|<small>T@lk</small>]] 07:17, 6 September 2005 (UTC) |
|||
:::I agree with your view, but I can also think of some examples that would be ambiguous and hard to categorize. Could you help us come up with a way to define what constitutes ''one'' disease? --[[User:Arcadian|Arcadian]] 14:42, 10 September 2005 (UTC) |
|||
Ahhh. For a non-haematologist, "acute leukemia" is enough to scamper and call the haematologist on-call. For a haematologist, it may be of essential relevance whether the patient has ALL L1 and needs enrolling in UKALL-XII, or AML M3 and could end up on idarubicin and ATRA. Some articles have more than one associated ICD code, even though most doctors would agree that we're dealing with ''one'' disease. I can only recommend taking soundings at the WikiProject talk page if things are uncertain. [[User:Jfdwolff|JFW]] | [[User_talk:Jfdwolff|<small>T@lk</small>]] 20:25, 10 September 2005 (UTC) |

== Problem with reference numbering == |
|||
There appears a reference numbering problem in articles that are making use of this infobox as well as ref/note templates (see [[Keratoconus]]). I have notified the last editor, but have left the infobox template in its last state for the time being. [[User:BillC|BillC]] 12:48, 21 January 2006 (UTC) |
|||
:I could reproduce the problem described by BillC at [[User talk:Adrian Buehlmann#Template:Infobox Disease]]). I am puzzled. Thinking now what could be the cause for that (using my playgrounds [[User:Adrian Buehlmann/work/Keratoconus/1]] and [[User:Adrian Buehlmann/work/Infobox Disease/1]] in order not to disturb articles). --[[User talk:Adrian Buehlmann|Adrian Buehlmann]] 14:28, 21 January 2006 (UTC) |

:Seems fixed with this [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template%3AInfobox_Disease&diff=36090551&oldid=36081678 edit]. Strangely, after doing tests in my sandboxes, I found out that several pipes ("|") had to be removed in order to fix a false offset in reference numbering of [[Keratoconus]]. For example I had to change: |

== Infobox heading == |
|||
Per [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=AIDS&diff=prev&oldid=36417842 this edit], readers with limited exposure to medical industry terms may be confused by this infobox. Should it mention "International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems" and link to [[International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems|its article]]? [[User:Rodasmith|The Rod]] 00:23, 24 January 2006 (UTC) |
|||
:The infobox already links directly to [[List of ICD-10 codes]] and [[List of ICD-9 codes]], and the link you mentioned is at the top of those pages. However, if there is a creative way to make things more clear without taking up excessive real estate, I could certainly support that. --[[User:Arcadian|Arcadian]] 00:56, 24 January 2006 (UTC) |
|||
::I cannot find a heading that is terse, accurate, and context-providing: |

|||
::* Insufficient context: "[[ICD]] for <nowiki>{{{Name}}}</nowiki>" |
|||
::As it stands, though, disease articles now begin with ICD codes that are only explained after clicking through.

:I don't necessarily object to this proposal, but please provide more information, and describe in more detail what you would like to see. Or if you can provide an example of a different infobox that you like, I'd be happy to try to emulate the appearance. But if it is a significant change, we should probably let the people at [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Clinical medicine]] know about the proposal. This infobox used to contain more fields with content rather than just codes, and in my opinion was more self-explanatory then, but some users at [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Clinical medicine]] had concerns about it, and [[User:Jfdwolff]] kept reverting use of the infobox until the number of fields was negotiated down (you can catch the tail end of that debate at the top of this page). I'd definitely like to see this infobox improved, but I'd rather avoid a repeat of that incident if possible. And in any case, a proposed change will be easier to sustain if there is broad support for it, so to anyone else reading this, I encourage you to offer your opinions on what you want for this infobox in the future. --[[User:Arcadian|Arcadian]] 13:26, 4 March 2006 (UTC) |

==Thumbnail images in infobox== |
|||
Images that are not in an infobox have the option of having a [[blister|thumbnail indicator]] (small box/large box to the right of caption), which tells the user if the picture on the target page is the [[dermatomyositis|same size]] or [[eczema|larger]] than the picture on the disease page. This is a nice feature for users, who are probably going to be more likely to click if the target picture is larger. When images are in an [[strepthroat|infobox]], there doesn't seem to be a way to add an optional thumbnail indicator. Any advice? |

:Thank you -- with the examples you provided, I now understand more clearly what you are looking for. Unfortunately, I don't know how to implement that, and it's not standard on Wikipedia articles (for example, larger versions of the lead image are available at [[Abbey Road (album)]], [[Gone with the Wind (film)]], [[Aspirin]], and [[Abraham Lincoln]], but no thumbnail indicator is provided.) But your idea is a good idea, and if someone more skilled than I knows how to implement it, I would welcome its inclusion. Per the broader issue you communicated on my talk page (if moving an image into an infobox eliminates the thumbnail indicator, should we leave the lead image outside of the infobox so people can still see the indicator?) -- in my opinion, Wikipedia precedent comes down on the side of including the lead image in the infobox, but I can see both sides of the issue. Before today, there wasn't really a good place to discuss issues like this, but per [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Clinical_medicine#Moving_content_to_own_page]], we now have a page at [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Clinical medicine/Template for medical conditions]] which would be very well suited for discussing formatting issues and defining standards. --[[User:Arcadian|Arcadian]] 20:36, 28 February 2006 (UTC) |

==[[Tourette syndrome]] help== |

I haven't been able to get these to work -- can anyone help? The DiseaseDB and OMIM info on TS is woefully inaccurate, so I don't want to add it. There are two articles on eMedicine ... one has already been added, but I want to add the other (multiple entry), and can't make it work. And, I can't figure out how to add the MedLinePlus info on TS. Please see note here. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Dwaipayanc#Tourette_syndrome_OMIM_etal] TIA!

==SNOMED== |
|||
Hi, I'd like to see the SNOMED classification [http://www.snomed.org/] added to the Infobox disease template. SNOMED is an alternate to ICD9 and ICD10 and appears (at least to me) to be superceding them. There are freely available tools to help convert between the different taxonomies and a very good site for looking up a SNOMED classification such as this one [http://gena.ontology.ims.u-tokyo.ac.jp:8081/mov/cgi-bin/movSearch.php] |
|||
Thanks |

:SNOMED is a big list of names, and in the latest incarnation SNOMED-CT doesn't seem to be in any order, so IMO is less appropriate for a box like this although it might be nice. They can also get very long as you can add an enormous level of detail. And it looks like there would be licensing issues. |
|||
:BTW, I can't get to the ontology site from this (NHS) network - any ideas? |

::I just tried that link, and found it failed for me as well, though I believe it was okay a couple of days ago. Does anyone else have a live link? (And if there aren't any live links to real codes, then perhaps we should hold off on adding [[SNOMED]] for now.) --[[User:Arcadian|Arcadian]] 12:27, 21 June 2006 (UTC) |

Hi, I am out-of-town right now but will address both concerns when I am back on Friday. As far as I know, licensing is not an issue, SNOMED codes are freely available and freely usable - I will provide references on Friday. Also, I'll find out what's wrong with the links and provide an update - they were working when I posted them - I'll go find out what happend. THanks, |

:I've just had another look, [http://www.nlm.nih.gov/research/umls/Snomed/snomed_faq.html] may be relevent - I can't parse all that legalese. It looks like a structured code-base as well; I got the impression that merging concepts from Read Clinical Terms would have broken that, but apparently not. |

::Perhaps as a transitional solution, we could add a new optional field called "other codes" or something like that. Then, if users wanted to add SNOMED, or anything else, they could go into that field. --[[User:Arcadian|Arcadian]] 14:23, 22 June 2006 (UTC) |

==Psychology Wiki== |
|||
Hi all, I am currently attempting to implement this box on the Psychology Wiki. This is a site that is attempting to use the wikipedia ideal to construct an academic site for the knowledge domain of psychology. |
|||
I have copied the template over onto this page [http://psychology.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Infobox_Disease]and as you can see I seem to have spare code. The site is running the latest version MediaWiki software but my knowledge of templates is limited and I havent been able to work out how to correct it I would be gratful if someone could help me make it work. I am happy to answer any questions about the site on my talk page |
|||
On another note with this appearing in the [[Dissociative identity disorder]] page |
|||
: Due to copyright infringement issues and editorial concerns, the American Psychiatric Association has requested that specific reference to the DSM-IV-TR by Wikipedia be outlinked. The current diagnostic criteria for Dissociative identity disorder published in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders may be found here: |
|||
DSM-IV-TR Diagnostic Criteria: Dissociative identity disorder (DID) |
|||
I think it would be important to include DSM code links, as it looks as if we will have to take out the descriptions in the text. Does anyone know anymore about this. |
|||
Many thanks in advance for any help you can offer.[[User:Lifeartist|Lifeartist]] 12:34, 16 June 2006 (UTC) |

== Technical questions about the template == |

I just added this infobox to [[Nail-patella syndrome]] and encountered two technical problems: (1) if there are no ICD codes for a disease, how do I get it to omit those entries? and (2) if there are multiple eMedicine articles for a disease (see [http://www.emedicine.com/ped/topic1546.htm] [http://www.emedicine.com/derm/topic813.htm]), how can I link to them both? — [[User:JVinocur|JVinocur]] ([[User talk:JVinocur|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/JVinocur|contribs]]) 22:40, 27 June 2006 (UTC) |

Template-protected edit request on 21 April 2017
The page Thrombocytopenia starts with a plain wikilink to the category Category:Pages with Infobox medical condition using multiple parameters for one. I presume that you actually want to add the article to that category, and so the colon at the start of the wikilink in this template's code should be removed. User:GKFXtalk 22:15, 21 April 2017 (UTC)
Template-protected edit request on 15 August 2017
Consensus here has depreciated this template, in favour of template:Infobox medical condition (new) in combination with template:medical resources. Please add {{Deprecated template|Infobox medical condition|Infobox medical condition (new)|note=For adding classification data, see [[template:medical resources]]|date=August 2017}} if deemed appropriate. Little pob (talk) 12:21, 15 August 2017 (UTC)
- What is the transition process? How do I actually replace it with the new one? Parameter-replacements? -DePiep (talk) 19:35, 15 August 2017 (UTC)
- Last I read a bot was being proposed to automate the transition to the new infobox? However, the deprecated tag is for the template page, not the infobox itself. It may have been clearer if I had provided the WL to Template:Deprecated_template also, as it has an example at the top. Little pob (talk) 07:35, 16 August 2017 (UTC)
- Updating is going to be a slow and gradual process. I have done 500 or so.
- We have a tool that speeds up the conversion but it is still manual. More work is required before it can be automated.
- You add this to your common.js

Note: Given that the main protagonist in this change Doc James has passed on making the change, and nobody else has taken it up in 2 weeks, I'll mark it as answered. I think marking a template as deprecated while it's still in use on 6500 pages would taint too many pages for too long. Little pob, some kind of comment on the doc page indicating its deprecated state and where to find the new preferred template seems more appropriate at this stage. Regards, Cabayi (talk) 09:55, 28 August 2017 (UTC)
- Added to /doc. Template {{Deprecated template|Infobox medical condition}} must be added to the documentation page, and so will not appear in mainspace. It does not alter any working of the tempalte, it's just documentation text. (BTW, that page is not protected and so does not formally need an {{edit template-protected}} request). -DePiep (talk) 10:44, 28 August 2017 (UTC)
Please use HTTPS for the Patient UK (patient.info) link
The purpose of this edit is to provide increased privacy and security for users by having the template use HTTPS when generating links to Patient UK. (As a side note, a previous comment states that the template is deprecated; however, it appears that there are still many pages on which the template is used.) In particular, it appears that URLs of the form http://patient.info/doctor/xxxxxx
generate a 301 Moved Permanently redirect to https://patient.info/doctor/xxxxxx
which in some cases is followed by a subsequent 301 redirect to another HTTPS URL. For example, http://patient.info/doctor/Body-Dysmorphic-Disorder-(BDD) generates a 301 redirect to https://patient.info/doctor/Body-Dysmorphic-Disorder-(BDD) which then generates a 301 redirect to https://patient.info/doctor/body-dysmorphic-disorder-pro. In the template, please change http://patient.info/doctor/
to https://patient.info/doctor/
instead. Thanks. --Elegie (talk) 10:33, 22 August 2017 (UTC)
Done, @Elegie. -- Carl Fredrik talk 10:43, 22 August 2017 (UTC)

Possible fix for broken eMedicine search link
At the current time, the template has the ability to generate a link for doing a search on eMedicine. If the search query is infection
, for example, the URL for the search link would be http://search.medscape.com/emedicine-search?queryText=infection. However, it appears that search URLs of this format are broken; accessing such a URL generates a series of redirects that eventually lead to the URL https://search.medscape.com/search/?
on the Medscape site and no search results are shown. It appears that it is possible to do a search on the Medscape site by using the URL https://search.medscape.com/search/?q=XXXX where XXXX is the search query term(s), though it is not clear as to whether all of the search results are specific to eMedicine. Would it be useful to change the template to use this URL format for doing eMedicine searches? --Elegie (talk) 11:18, 24 February 2018 (UTC)
Error in template
It seems that the template creates the following error for all instances now:
Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:I18n/date' not found.
