Template-protected edit request on 16 March 2021
Please replace all code {{Infobox drug}} with sandbox code (diff) Fernando Trebien (talk) 16:26, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
- Adds
|mrna = [[mRNA vaccine|mRNA]]
to preformat-options|vaccine_type=
. -DePiep (talk) 16:42, 16 March 2021 (UTC) - Also adds
|peptide = [[Subunit vaccine#Peptide subunit|Peptide subunit]]
,|polysaccharide = [[Subunit vaccine#Polysaccharide subunit|Polysaccharide]]
and|vlp = [[Subunit vaccine#Virus-like particles|Virus-like particles]]
. While mRNA is an emerging type during the pandemic, the other 3 types are other common types of vaccines for other diseases. Some editors prefer to specify the more general type (always a superset), and some prefer to specify the more specific type. Based on current usage and other findings. --Fernando Trebien (talk) 18:54, 18 March 2021 (UTC) - (Sorry, I missed those in my visual check.) -DePiep (talk) 19:17, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
- To editors Ftrebien and DePiep: done, and thank you both very much! P.I. Ellsworth ed. put'r there 21:31, 26 March 2021 (UTC)
Adding a short description
Could someone add additional code, please, to create an automatic short description, such as "Drug"? That would be a great help in reducing the number of articles that are missing such a description. Pinging RexxS: would you be able to help? MichaelMaggs (talk) 10:30, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
- "Drug" would be too unspecific (into uselessness). Maybe use INN? -DePiep (talk) 12:48, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
- "Drug" is perfect, and nothing more complicated is needed. The description needs to be kept short and non-technical to comply with WP:HOWTOSD: "avoid jargon, and use simple, readily comprehensible terms that do not require pre-existing detailed knowledge of the subject". Short descriptions are intended not to define the subject matter but are primarily to allow mobile users who are looking at a long list of titles after carrying out a search to decide whether a particular article is in the right field. It helps them decide whether some term they've never seen before is, for example, a drug, a disease, or the name of a computer game. MichaelMaggs (talk) 16:43, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
- OK, perhaps there are too many exceptions, where the infobox is used for things that most people wouldn't normally describe as a "drug". Not easy to separate those out. MichaelMaggs (talk) 08:50, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
- "Drug" would be too unspecific (into uselessness). Maybe use INN? -DePiep (talk) 12:48, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
Should toxicological information be included?
Something like say LD50? --Palosirkka (talk) 07:56, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
- Seems reasonable. But there are multiple types of LD50 - see https://go.drugbank.com/drugs/DB00073 e.g. Oral, Inhalation, Skin. --50.201.195.170 (talk) 00:21, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
Biosimilars (and biologics)
This template is being used for articles on medicines with biosimilars, such as Rituxan and the drugs <sic> that are biosimilars for it. Template:Infobox_drug#Monoclonal_antibody_drugs is helpful. However, field synonyms (displayed as "Other names") isn't appropriate; biosimilars and generics aren't the same thing. I propose a new field: biosimilars. Consensus? --50.201.195.170 (talk) 00:21, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
- That is biosimilar. -DePiep (talk) 05:50, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
- What? That article is about biosimilars, but so what? --50.201.195.170 (talk) 07:14, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
Proposal
Clinical data | |
---|---|
Other names | synonyms |
Biosimilars | rituximab-abbs, rituximab-pvvr, rituximab-arrx |
AHFS/Drugs.com | Monograph |
- Add data point/parameter "biosimilars" (distinct from synonyms, trade maks etc.). Would take text input unedited (shows as entered). See Rituximab. -DePiep (talk) 13:47, 7 July 2021 (UTC)
- support seems like a good idea--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 12:03, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

- Change
- Add parameter
|biosimilars=
by request § Biosimilars (and biologics). Testcase. DePiep (talk) 13:09, 11 July 2021 (UTC)- To editors DePiep and Ozzie10aaaa: done, and thank you very much! P.I. Ellsworth ed. put'r there 16:01, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
PDB monoclonal antibodies
Does it make sense to add support for monoclonal antibodies in PDB?
For example, 5L6Y for Tralokinumab

All references to "EU" should be changed to "EU/EEA", since, under the European Economic Area Agreement, the European Commission, on the recommendation of the European Medicines Agency, authorises medicinal products for use throughout the European Economic Area (which is the EU countries plus Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway). Kennethmac2000 (talk) 19:43, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
- Not needed, not helpful. EMA is an EU institution. Agreements by outer countries to follow EMAs rulings is a spin-off, not a change of ruling. (EEA-effects coulds be added(!) to the EMA article though). -DePiep (talk) 06:06, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
EMA licence search template appears to be broken
The template's search function for licence data on the EMA website (licence_EU) appears to be broken. It retreives "page not found" for all articles I tested it with. I assume the EMA updated its website and thus the search mask will no longer work as before. Could someone have a look at this and possibly fix it? Thank you! --Shinryuu (talk) 10:47, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
- Yes, because EMA recently rebuilt its website and changed the URL addressing scheme, in the process moving from INN to tradenames in titles and URLs. The template now needs complex engineering and given the shift to tradenames, it may be not even be possible to restore the function. — kashmīrī TALK 12:18, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
