Wikipedia:WikiProject Medicine/Stub sorting

On this page, we provide an overview of stub-categories which are related to medicine. Another summary can be found here, with also a classification of child-parent relations for these categories. Some but not all templates relating to preclinical medicine (a.k.a. biomedical sciences) are mentioned on this page -more can be found here.

Put these templates on stubs, and not on non-stub articles. Use a subcategory where possible (e.g. Dermatology-stub instead of med-stub). Details on how to use these templates are given in the table below. Most stub categories explain themselves (e.g. Health-stub for articles related to health), for some more info is provided.

Please note that new stub categories should be proposed for debate prior to creation with the Stub-sorting WikiProject at WP:WSS/P.

How to help

 * Find an existing stub (very short) article. Category:Medicine stubs frequently lists more than 1,000 medicine-related stubs.
 * If the article is no longer a stub, please remove the stub-related templates from the bottom of the article.
 * If the article is a stub, see if you can replace generic stub templates with a more specific stub template (e.g., disease-stub rather than medicine-stub).
