Template:Symptom/documentation

From WikiLectures

Template {{Symptom}} is used to indicate signs and symptoms. It adds a graphical label (thermometer icon) and places the page in the appropriate category. It makes it easier for readers to find articles that address a particular symptom. Clicking on the thermometer icon will take the reader to the category page for that symptom.

How to use the template[edit source]

The name of the symptom is given as a parameter. For example:

The primary manifestation of this disease is {{Symptom | Fever}}.

appears as follows:
The primary manifestation of this disease is Symptom icon.png fever.


Two parameters are used if you need to display text other than the symptom (category) name. The first is the symptom name, and the second parameter specifies what is to be displayed:

 ... manifested by {{Symptom | dyspnea | orthopnea}}.

The result is:
... manifested by Symptom icon.png orthopnea.
