Proposal to add a template to medical article talk page

WikiProject Medicine has discussed and reached consensus on a plan to add a template, {{Reliable sources for medical articles}} near the top of the talk pages of many medicine related articles. Discussion here.

The template provides links to search results to help editors find reliable sources. User:Anomie has agreed to add this template to about 12000 article talk pages via his bot, but we would first like to get broader community input.

Some precedents for this kind of template are:

1. User talk:VIAFbot - This bot went to biographies and if WorldCat had an authority control identifier for the subject of the article, then it put a template linking the article to their library listing
2. Wikipedia:GLAM/smarthistory - a project to apply templates which link out to Khan Academy videos on art and culture
3. Template:Library resources box - John Mark Ockerbloom's proposal to add a link to all Wikipedia articles which could connect any user to resources in their local library
