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 Who Named It? And this might be used in an External links section... Markup Robert James Graves ((WhoNamedIt|doctor|695)) Giving Robert James Graves doctor/695 at Who Named It?
The new third parameter allows:
Markup ((WhoNamedIt|doctor|695|Robert James Graves)) Giving Robert James Graves at Who Named It?
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 Who Named It?
Nicolas Augustin Gilbert and his colleague Pierre Lereboullet at Who Named It?
