Template:WhoNamedIt2
 | This template is intended for external links. It is not designed for use as a citation template for reliable sources. |
Notes on use
The WhoNamedIt and WhoNamedIt2 templates help markup links to http://www.whonamedit.com, the Who Named It? English-language dictionary of medical eponyms and the persons associated with their identification.
Two parameters are required; a third to display an alternative linked text is optional.
- REQUIRED - specifies whether in the websites list of syndromes or doctors. Values generally are "synd" or "doctor".
- REQUIRED - the topic number
- OPTIONAL - Alternative text to be shown rather than {1}/{2}. Hence for the doctor's or syndrome's name. As a new feature (Jan 2007), most articles using this template will until now have manually marked-up the information on the condition or doctor being referred to (as per first example below).
Example for the doctor Robert James Graves:
Markup {{WhoNamedIt|doctor|695}}
Giving doctor/695 at Whonamedit?
And this might be used in an External links section...
Markup Robert James Graves {{WhoNamedIt|doctor|695}}
Giving Robert James Graves doctor/695 at Whonamedit?
The new third parameter allows:
Markup {{WhoNamedIt|doctor|695|Robert James Graves}}
Giving Robert James Graves at Whonamedit?
To use this as a footnote citation (see WP:Footnotes), enclose within <ref> tags thus:
- Markup ...<ref>{{WhoNamedIt|doctor|695|Robert James Graves}}</ref>
- Giving ...[1]
WhoNamedIt2
Use of the WhoNamedIt2 template may be preferred when it is desired not to display "at WhoNamedIt", e.g., when listing several doctors involved in describing a syndrome. It takes the same required/optional parameters as the main WhoNamedIt template.
Markup {{WhoNamedIt2|doctor|695|Robert James Graves}}
Giving Robert James Graves
An example of using both templates together comes from Gilbert's syndrome:
Markup {{WhoNamedIt|synd|2877|Gilbert's syndrome}}
{{WhoNamedIt2|doctor|2446|Nicolas Augustin Gilbert}} and his colleague {{WhoNamedIt|doctor|2448|Pierre Lereboullet}}
Giving Gilbert's syndrome at Whonamedit?
Nicolas Augustin Gilbert and his colleague Pierre Lereboullet at Whonamedit?
