Template:WhoNamedIt/doc

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.


 * 1) REQUIRED - specifies whether in the websites list of syndromes or doctors. Values generally are "synd" or "doctor".
 * 2) REQUIRED - the topic number
 * 3) 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 Giving And this might be used in an External links section... Markup Robert James Graves Giving Robert James Graves

The new third parameter allows: Markup Giving

To use this as a footnote citation (see WP:Footnotes), enclose within
 * Giving ...

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 Giving

An example of using both templates together comes from Gilbert's syndrome: Markup and his colleague Giving and his colleague
