Welcome to WikiProject Pharmacology. A WikiProject is a group of editors who work together to improve articles that interest them. This independent WikiProject coordinates the development of Wikipedia articles and lists relating to the pharmacology and science of medications and other pharmacology-related topics.

Goals[edit]
- Expand all stubs under the scope of WikiProject Pharmacology and remove inconsistencies in related articles.
Categorize all articles within the scope of the project.- Tag all articles by inserting class= on every pharmacology-related article's talk page, and assess the articles' quality and importance.
- Create and maintain navigational boxes for major drug groups and subgroups of drugs. (The major drug navbox contains all groups, and specific groups' navboxes contain links to actual articles of specific drugs.)
How to help[edit]
Looking for something to do?
Cleanup listing for this project is available. See also the tool's wiki page and the index of WikiProjects.
Improve articles[edit]
Ways to improve articles associated with this WikiProject:
- Work on improving any of the articles in the WikiProject Pharmacology article worklist, which is the list of all of the articles that have been identified as being of interest to the project, organized according to category, and assigned an importance and quality grade.
- Work on one of the articles in the cleanup listing for WikiProject Pharmacology.
- Work on one of the Top 200 US Prescriptions 2011.
- Adopt a stub. There are many, many stubby pharmacology articles (listed at Category:Pharmacology stubs) that have the potential to be excellent articles.
- Add information to the infoboxes in drug articles.
- Add references. Correct and reliable references are vital if the articles produced by this project are to be verifiable sources of information for our readers. Adding references is easy with this tool. Just submit the PubMed ID and copy and paste the resulting output (xxxx) into the page between <ref> xxxxx </ref> Alternatively, if you use Internet Explorer or Firefox (2.0+), then Wouterstomp's bookmarklet can automate this step from the PubMed abstract page.
- Fight against vandalism. Also, be suspicious about deletions or mitigations of well-sourced adverse effects, as it has been shown that they are targets of drug company representatives.[1]
- Create missing redirects of trade names to generic names listed at the PotatoBot log.
Need help creating structural diagrams? See Wikipedia:WikiProject Pharmacology/Structural diagrams. Also see the Wikipedia Manual of Style on Chemical Structure Diagrams.
Categorize articles[edit]
- Label articles of interest to the project by putting the WikiProject Pharmacology template on the talk pages of all articles of interest to pharmacy and pharmacology.
- Categorize drug articles by adding them to the appropriate categories.
- Once an article achieves a level of B-class or C-class, place the pharmacology portal template in the 'see also' or 'external links' section. You can do this by adding the following tag: Pharmacy and Pharmacology.
Direct our focus[edit]
- Join in discussing proposals, so that we can take our ideas off the drawing board and put them into action. Go there, choose a proposal, read it and add your two cents!
- The Pharmacology portal always needs to be maintained!
Work on project pages[edit]
- Help to develop the Drugbox and drug navigational templates. Drug information boxes can be included in each Wikipedia article about a particular drug. This crosscheck page lists WP:Pharmacology articles without Drugbox, and inverse.
- Assist in public relations and outreach by recruiting editors interested in pharmacology to contribute to Wikipedia.
Templates[edit]
- Project template: WikiProject Pharmacology
- Recent changes: Recent changes in Pharmacology
- Member userbox: User WikiProject Pharmacology
- Member top icon (an alternative to the above): WikiProject Pharmacology topicon
Infoboxes have been created for a number of article types including:
- Infobox drug for medications
- Infobox drug class for classes of medication
- Infobox diagnostic for diagnostic tests
