Template:TissueDB Material Tissues Table

Template documentationedit documentation

Overview

{{TissueDB Material Tissues Table}} renders the Tissues table for TissueDB Materials pages. This table lists which anatomical tissues the material can simulate, with fidelity assessments and simulator cross-references.

This template is placed inside the {{TissueDB Material Layout}} template's tissues parameter. Do NOT place it at the top level of a Materials page.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description	Source
rows	HTML	Yes	One or more `<tr>` rows. Each row must contain cells matching the column order: Tissue, Visual, Tactile, [Recipe], Simulator, Notes. Tissue and Simulator cells must contain wiki links to `TissueDB/Tissues/` and `TissueDB/Simulators/` pages respectively.	SELF Developer Playbook (Jan 2026); DM-34; DM-TABLE-01
recipe_column	String	No	If set to any non-empty value, adds a Recipe column between Tactile and Simulator. Per DM-TABLE-01: "if relevant — not all will have this column."	SELF Developer Playbook (Jan 2026); DM-TABLE-01

Column Definitions

Column	Content	Valid Values
Tissue	Wiki link to `TissueDB/Tissues/*`	Must be a valid wiki link
Visual	Visual fidelity assessment	Yes / Partial / No only (AP-0308-01)
Tactile	Tactile fidelity assessment	Yes / Partial / No only (AP-0308-01)
Recipe (optional)	Preparation instructions if applicable	Free text
Simulator	Wiki link to `TissueDB/Simulators/*`	Must be a valid wiki link (DM-34: NOT 'Works For', NOT 'Used For')
Notes	Practical guidance for using this material	Free text. Source-traced. No fidelity domain language (AP-0316-01).

Content Rules

Visual and Tactile columns accept ONLY: Yes, Partial, No. No star ratings, numeric scales, percentages, or letter grades (AP-0308-01).
Column header MUST be "Simulator" — not "Works For" or "Used For" (DM-34).
Column header MUST be "Notes" — not "Tips" or "Developer Notes" (DM-34).
Recipe column is optional per DM-TABLE-01.
Every Tissue cell must link to a TissueDB/Tissues/ page.
Every Simulator cell must link to a TissueDB/Simulators/ page.
Notes column must not contain fidelity domain language (Visual/Tactile/Functional/Feedback ratings).

Examples

Minimal (one row, no recipe)

{{TissueDB Material Tissues Table
| rows =
<tr>
<td>[[TissueDB/Tissues/Skin|Skin]]</td>
<td>Yes</td>
<td>Partial</td>
<td>[[TissueDB/Simulators/Z-Plasty Simulator|Z-Plasty Simulator]]</td>
<td>Matches skin elasticity for closure training</td>
</tr>
}}

With recipe column

{{TissueDB Material Tissues Table
| recipe_column = yes
| rows =
<tr>
<td>[[TissueDB/Tissues/Liver|Liver]]</td>
<td>Partial</td>
<td>Yes</td>
<td>Mix 3% agar with red dye</td>
<td>[[TissueDB/Simulators/Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Simulator|Lap Chole Simulator]]</td>
<td>Firm texture simulates parenchyma</td>
</tr>
}}

Renders the Tissues table for TissueDB Materials pages with correct column headers, overflow wrapping, and optional Recipe column.
