Template:WhoNamedIt2

The WhoNamedIt and WhoNamedIt2 templates help markup links to http://www.whonamedit.com, the Who Named It? English-language dictionary of medical eponyms and the persons associated with their identification.

Two parameters are required; a third to display an alternative linked text is optional.

1. REQUIRED - specifies whether in the websites list of syndromes or doctors. Values generally are "synd" or "doctor".
2. REQUIRED - the topic number
3. OPTIONAL - Alternative text to be shown rather than {1}/{2}. Hence for the doctor's or syndrome's name. As a new feature (Jan 2007), most articles using this template will until now have manually marked-up the information on the condition or doctor being referred to (as per first example below).

Example for the doctor Robert James Graves:

Markup  {{WhoNamedIt|doctor|695}}
Giving  doctor/695atWho Named It?
 
And this might be used in an External links section...
Markup  Robert James Graves {{WhoNamedIt|doctor|695}}
Giving  Robert James Graves doctor/695atWho Named It?

The new third parameter allows:

Markup  {{WhoNamedIt|doctor|695|Robert James Graves}}
Giving  Robert James GravesatWho Named It?
 

To use this as a footnote citation (see WP:Footnotes), enclose within <ref> tags thus:

Markup ...<ref>{{WhoNamedIt|doctor|695|Robert James Graves}}</ref>

Giving ...^[1]

WhoNamedIt2

Use of the WhoNamedIt2 template may be preferred when it is desired not to display "at WhoNamedIt", e.g., when listing several doctors involved in describing a syndrome. It takes the same required/optional parameters as the main WhoNamedIt template.

Markup  {{WhoNamedIt2|doctor|695|Robert James Graves}}
Giving  Robert James Graves

An example of using both templates together comes from Gilbert's syndrome:

Markup  {{WhoNamedIt|synd|2877|Gilbert's syndrome}}
        {{WhoNamedIt2|doctor|2446|Nicolas Augustin Gilbert}} and his colleague {{WhoNamedIt|doctor|2448|Pierre Lereboullet}}
Giving  Gilbert's syndromeatWho Named It?
        Nicolas Augustin Gilbert and his colleague Pierre LereboulletatWho Named It?
