'''Alternatives:'''<br />
* '''[[Wikipedia:Be bold|Be bold!]]''' Consider searching for [[Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources (medicine)|medical]] [[Wikipedia:Verifiability|references]] and adding them to the article, instead of using this template.<br />
</div><br />
}}<br />
<br />
== Usage ==<br />
This template is intended to be used when a statement about medicine or health (including veterinary, psychiatric, etc.) is sourced but it is questionable whether the source used is [[WP:MEDRS|medically reliable]] for supporting the statement. It produces a superscripted notation like the following:<br />
:The treatment is definitely effective.{{Unreliable medical source}}<br />
<br />
Articles tagged with this template will be categorized into [[:Category:All articles lacking reliable references]].<br />
<br />
Place this template inline, {{tlx|Unreliable medical source|date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}} }} following the questionable claim (and any punctuation attached to it). The template should be placed {{em|outside the reference}} (<code><nowiki><ref> ... </ref></nowiki></code>), within the article's text:<br />
:Potentially controversial statement.<code><nowiki><ref>some alleged source for this</ref>{{Unreliable medical source|date=</nowiki>{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}</code> Next sentence.<br />
<br />
=== When to use and not use this template ===<br />
This template should be used to express doubt about the credibility of a source for a medical claim.<br />
<br />
This tag should not be used on [[WP:BLPREMOVE|unreliably sourced contentious statements about living persons]]; if the source is not reliable, the statement should be {{strong|removed immediately}}.<br />
<br />
For whole articles or article sections that rely on poor medical sources, considering using the banner template {{tlx|medref}} or {{tlx|medref|section}}, respectively, rather than individually tagging a large number of statements.<br />
<br />
For sources promoting non-medical [[WP:FRINGE|fringe theories and pseudo-science}}, the variant template {{tlx|Unreliable fringe source}} can be used.<br />
<br />
For sources unreliable for reasons other than promotion of dubious scientific claims, the more general template {{tlx|Unreliable source?}} can be used.<br />
<br />
This tag should not be used to indicate that the sourced material could not be found within a given source. In that case, {{tlx|failed verification}} is a better template. For statements that have failed verification {{em|and}} have a questionable would-be source, consider removal of the source (and possibly the statement) over using both tags.<br />
<br />
=== Parameters ===<br />
<br />
The template has the following optional parameters:<br />
* '''date''': should be set to the month and year when the article was tagged. Example: {{tlx|Unreliable medical source|date{{=}}{{#time:F Y}}}}<br />
* '''reason''': a note explaining why you think the source is unreliable as per [[WP:MEDRS]]. Displays as a tool tip. Keep it short (one sentence) as longer material belongs on the talk page. It is good to reiterate the reason in your edit summary. Example: {{tlx|Unreliable medical source|reason{{=}}{{var|Your WP:MEDRS-based reason here.}}|date{{=}}{{#time:F Y}}}}<br />
* '''sure''' or '''certain''': if set to "y" or "yes" will remove the question mark from the template's output to denote a degree of certainty that the source is unreliable. Please use this with a <code>reason</code> parameter, and only after a good faith attempt to verify the reliability of the source in question. Example: {{tlx|Unreliable medical source|sure{{=}}y|reason{{=}}{{var|1=Your WP:RS-based reason here.}}|date{{=}}{{#time:F Y}}}}<br />

* {{tlx|Medical citation needed}}, for requesting a citation to a medically reliable source instead of or in addition to a non-medical one already present<br />
* {{tlx|Better source}}, an alternative to {{tlx|Unreliable source|certain{{=}}y}}; especially useful for tagging sources that are low-quality but not necessarily wrong<br />

* {{tlx|Unreliable fringe source}}, for non-medical [[WP:FRINGE|pseudo-science]] sourcing<br />
* {{tlx|Unreliable source?}}, for unreliable but non-fringe sources<br />
* {{tlx|Primary source inline}}, for non-medical [[WP:PSTS|misuse of primary source material]]<br />
* {{tlx|Dubious}}, for questionable claims that seem unlikely to be properly sourceable<br />
* {{tlx|Disputed inline}}, stronger than dubious, may indicate sources in conflict with each other<br />
