 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:WikiProject Medicine. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |

This is the talk page banner for Wikipedia:WikiProject Medicine.
WikiProject Medicine supports articles on diseases and medical conditions in humans. It often supports articles on medications, medical treatments, healthcare occupations, and medical education.
Please do not spam this banner to the talk page of articles with remote connections to medicine: This project does not support the medicalization of everyday life. If you place this banner on an article and it is removed by a member of the project, please do not re-add the banner. This WikiProject reserves the right to define its own scope.
Please note: This template should be transcludedas{{WikiProject Medicine}} and not substituted, because it employs conditional code. Transclusion also allows easy updating of all the Project's talk pages without having to edit tens of thousands of pages. Many of these parameters place the talk page of the article into an appropriate category.
WPMED may be used in place of WikiProject Medicine.
Place this template on the talk page of medical articles.
The class and importance parameters are mandatory but the values may initially be blank.
{{WikiProject Medicine
|class= <!--Start, Stub, etc. see Assessment note below-->

Alternately, WPMED may be used in place of WikiProject Medicine.
{{WPMED
|class= <!--Start, Stub, etc. see Assessment note below-->

The full syntax is below. Again, WPMED may be used in place of WikiProject Medicine.

This project does not normally tag the talk pages of redirect pages. Redirects that have been categorized because they are well-known alternative names for a medical condition may be tagged. If a redirect needs to be tagged, please immediately set the parameters to: | class=Redirect | importance=NA
|selected=yes (article is a selected articleonPortal:Medicine)|dyk=yes (a fact from the article appears on the Portal:Medicine/Did you know section on Portal:Medicine)|MCOTM=prev (article was a previous Wikipedia:WikiProject Medicine/Collaboration of the Month)|MCOTM=nom (article is a current Wikipedia:WikiProject Medicine/Collaboration of the Month nominee)|MCOTM=cur (article is the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Medicine/Collaboration of the Month)|listas= This parameter, which is the equivalent of the DEFAULTSORT sortkey that should be placed on all medical articles about people, is a sortkey for the article talk page (e.g. for Jonas Salk, |listas=Salk, Jonas, so that the talk page will show up in the S's and not the J's of the various assessment and administrative categories). 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.
