[edit] Project notice

The template for marking an article as part of the Pulmonology task force is part of the WikiProject Medicine banner, {{WPMED}}. It can be inserted into an article's talkpage with:

{{WPMED |class= |importance= |pulmonology=yes |pulmonology-imp= }} Its appearance is as follows.

Medicine portal v • d • e This page is within the scope of WikiProject Medicine. Please visit the project page for details or ask questions at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Medicine.  NA  This page does not require a rating on the project's quality scale. This page is supported by Pulmonology task force.

The first "importance" parameter is the subject's importance to the overall field of medicine, according to the guidelines here. The importance of a subject to the field of pulmonology should be listed with the "pulmonology-imp" parameter.

[edit] Useful templates

A template has been created to mark stubs relating to pulmonology. It is:
