Wikipedia:WikiProject Medicine/Translation task force/Writing for translation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Articles to be translated need to meet certain requirements to make it as easy as possible to combine them into the target languages of Wikipedia. A few key points:

  1. Use the cite journal, cite book, and cite web templates not cite PMID and cite DOI. The latter two are not supported in most languages
  2. Use html coding / wiki markup not templates as much as possible. {{nbsp}} is often not supported while   is
  3. Make sure that as much as possible images within the article are on commons rather than hosted locally
