Content and sources for medical topics
Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. Remember that when adding content about health, please only use high-quality reliable sources as references. We typically use review articles, major textbooks and position statements of national or international organizations. (There are several kinds of sources that discuss health: here is how the community classifies them and uses them.) We do not use case reports, which are too preliminary and limited in scope to be encyclopedic. See the left pyramid in WP:MEDASSESS.

WP:MEDHOW walks you through editing step by step. A list of resources to help edit health content can be found here. The edit box has a built-in citation tool to easily format references based on the PMID or ISBN.


 * 1) While editing any article or a wikipage, on the top of the edit window you will see a toolbar which has a button "Cite" click on it
 * 2) Then click on "Automatic" or "Manual"
 * 3) For Manual: Choose the most appropriate template and fill in the details, then click "Insert"
 * 4) For Automatic: Paste the URL or PMID/PMC and click "Generate" and if the article is available on PubMed Central, Citoid will populate a citation which can be inserted by clicking "Insert"

We also provide style advice about the structure and content of medicine-related encyclopedia articles. The welcome page is another good place to learn about editing the encyclopedia. You may ask questions here on your talk page or visit WT:MED for community discussions. --Zefr (talk) 16:06, 4 December 2019 (UTC)
