This template is intended to be placed at the top of articles or sections with medical or health content that need additional references or are using sources that are unreliable and/or outdated, and therefore, are in need of attention.
If the article or section does not cover medical or health sciences topics, one should use another template, such as {{more citations needed}}, instead.
This template places the articles into Category:All articles needing additional references and Category:Articles requiring reliable medical sources.
Adding a date parameter also sorts the tagged article into dated subcategories of Category:Articles needing additional medical references, allowing the oldest problems to be identified and dealt with first. Additionally, it saves bots having to add the date, keeping article edit histories tidy. This allows editors who keep an eye on medical content concerns to find articles in need of attention quickly.
All parameters are optional; please always add a date.
|section= (Must be the first parameter)|date=|reason=|talk=1 (Or any other nonblank value)|small=leftsection, the normally sized warning starts "This section ..." rather than "This article ...". (For compatibility with earlier versions of the template, any other unnamed first parameter is treated as a reason. Please explicitly use |reason=.)|reason=.|talk=1.|small=left; section isn't needed as a first parameter because neither "article" nor "section" is displayed.{{More medical citations needed|{{subst:DATE}}}}{{More medical citations needed|section|{{subst:DATE}}}}{{More medical citations needed|date=July 2024}}{{More medical citations needed|talk=1|{{subst:DATE}}}}{{More medical citations needed|reason=Information on foo does not cite any references or sources|date=July 2024}}{{More medical citations needed|small=left|{{subst:DATE}}}}An maintenance tag that generates a banner with the text "This article needs more medical references for verification or relies too heavily on primary sources.
