Guidelines and Policies
Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and writing is different to writing academic texts — but it is still important to use the best sources. We give secondary sources such as review articles more weight than primary sources. To read up on our guidelines check out:
- WP:MEDRS — the sourcing requirements
- WP:MEDMOS — the Medical Manual of Style
- WP:PILLARS — our guidelines build upon the five pillars of Wikipedia
- Wikipedia:Conflicts of interest (medicine) – guidance for conflicts of interest in health and medicine topics; complements the main COI guideline.
- WP:MED Assessment criteria – which articles are covered by the project
If you're entirely new to Wikipedia be sure to see our:
- WP:MEDHOW — Medical How to edit guide
