Description
This metadata template links Wikipedia articles to various medical classifications and certain other external clinical or patient resources. These resources are common to medical content; but not relevant to the average reader.
Position
Please place Medical Resources correctly. The template should be placed:
- At the end of the last section of an article
- In the majority of medical articles, this will be either a ==References== or ==External links== section
- In line with the Manual of Style, an ==External links== section should not be created if the sole content will just be this template
- Above all navigation templates—including Authority control
- Above all [[Category:]] and stub template codes in the editor.
Usage
Some parameter's labels are automatically populated from Wikidata; but can be overridden locally.
Please note: because the external link used by each resource template will act as its own reference, there is no requirement for further verifiability within this template. (Any reference provided will also fail to populate the article Reference list and create a (second) separate list at the very bottom of the article.)
Examples
{{Medical resources | ICD11 = <!-- {{ICD11|Xxx.x}} --> | ICD10 = <!-- {{ICD10|Xxx.x}} --> | ICD10CM = <!-- {{ICD10CM|Xxx.xxxx}} --> | ICD9 = <!-- {{ICD9|xxx}} --> | ICDO = | OMIM = | MeshID = | DiseasesDB = | SNOMED CT = | Curlie = | MedlinePlus = | eMedicineSubj = | eMedicineTopic = | PatientUK = | NCI = | GeneReviewsNBK = | GeneReviewsName = | NORD = | GARDNum = | GARDName = | RP = | AO = | WO = | OrthoInfo = | Orphanet = | Scholia = | OB = }}
Explanations
As a rule of thumb:
- Insert the empty version
- Click "Show preview" to see which sources are automatically pulled from Wikidata
- (Optional) If you know more codes, IDs, etc; add them in the template using their named parameter. Alternatively, consider adding them to the article's "Wikidata item", so that all versions of Wikipedia will automatically benefit.
Empty
Adding an empty version of the template relies wholly on Wikidata: {{Medical resources}}
Selective suppression
You can suppress parameters with blank parameters or local knowledge. This method is also reliant wholly on Wikidata, except the suppressed or overwritten parameters:
- Blank parameter: {{Medical resources |PatientUK= |MeshID= |NCI=}}
- Local knowledge override: {{Medical resources |MeshID=D000001}}
- Combination it is possible to combine these to suppress some and locally override others: {{Medical resources |PatientUK= |MeshID=D000001 |NCI=}}

Adding new parameters
(This in information is for template editors)
When adding new parameters that are linked to Wikidata there are a couple of pre-defined parameter sets for the {{wdib}} wrapper, which group commonly defined parameters.
Parameter set 1, |ps=1
, has the following presets
rank = "best" fetchwikidata = "ALL" onlysourced = "no" noicon = "true"
Parameter set 2, |ps=2
, has the following presets
rank = "best" fetchwikidata = "ALL" onlysourced = "no" noicon = "true" linked = "no" plaindate = "true"
