An introductory video about how to edit Wikipedia and medicine.
Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and has a distinct style that may take some time getting used to.
It is important that articles use the best sources and content is given
due weight
. Different from scientific papers, Wikipedia medical and health content is preferably sourced to
secondary sources over primary sources
. Citing a review article is preferred over an original trial.
To get you started and to explain why this is important here are a number of guides and guidelines:
WP:MEDRS
WP:MEDMOS
Reliable Sources (medicine)
Manual of Style (medicine-related articles)
WP:MEDCOI
WP:MEDHOW

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Each month we select a
Medical Collaboration of the Month
to focus our efforts on. Topics may either relate to medical basic sciences (such as anatomy or biochemistry), or clinical medicine (such as illnesses and surgical procedures). The project aims to improve medicine articles, and to give editors an opportunity to collaborate. Anyone can nominate an article, or vote on nominees at our
project page
. The collaboration of the month for April 2026 is
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
! Visit its talk page to help coordinate our efforts.

WikiProject Medicine
was started in 2004 by
Dr. Jacob de Wolff
as WikiProject Clinical Medicine with the later branch WikiProject Preclinical Medicine. These merged and WikiProject Medicine has since been one of Wikipedia's most active WikiProjects.
WP:MED
as it is known aims to manage and help in curation of Wikipedia's medical articles. We write articles and discuss all manner of issues on our talk page:
WT:MED
Through the years we've built up a catalogue of sub-projects and task-forces which vary in their activity, you can find some of them at the

Wikipedia can be a great resource for getting to know a field — and it can give you an encyclopaedic overview of a subject, acting as a spring-board letting you dive deeper. It should however not be used as your only source when performing research, and you should never blindly trust Wikipedia. Over the years a lot of research has been amassed surrounding the
reliability
and
biases
of Wikipedia.
To see some of the studies that have been produced on the quality and scope of medical information on Wikipedia take a look at some of the research:
Academic studies of health information on Wikipedia
