Guidelines

An introductory video about how to edit Misplaced Pages and medicine.
  • Misplaced Pages is an encyclopedia and has a distinct style that may take some time getting used to.
  • It is important that articles use the best sources and content is given due weight. Different from scientific papers, Misplaced Pages medical and health content is preferably sourced to secondary sources over primary sources. Citing a review article is preferred over an original trial.
  • To get you started and to explain why this is important here are a number of guides and guidelines:
WP:MEDRS      WP:MEDMOS
Reliable Sources (medicine)      Manual of Style (medicine-related articles)
WP:MEDCOI      WP:MEDHOW
Conflicts of Interest      How to edit
Our guides complement Misplaced Pages:Policies and guidelines and take great care to explain why they are relevant.

About

WikiProject Medicine was started in 2004 by Dr. Jacob de Wolff as WikiProject Clinical Medicine with the later branch WikiProject Preclinical Medicine. These merged and WikiProject Medicine has since been one of Misplaced Pages's most active WikiProjects. WP:MED as it is known aims to manage and help in curation of Misplaced Pages's medical articles. We write articles and discuss all manner of issues on our talk page: WT:MED.

Through the years we've built up a catalogue of sub-projects and task-forces which vary in their activity, you can find some of them at the task force page.
