Template:TissueDB Materials

This is the documentation for Template:TissueDB Materials — the canonical template for all TissueDB materials pages.

This template renders the standard sections for a materials page: Description, Tissues table, Troubleshooting, Alternatives, References, and optionally At a Glance and Additional Information. It is part of the TissueDB project.

• Tissue column entries must link to TissueDB/Tissues/ pages. Create stub pages if they do not exist. Generic descriptors (e.g., "organ surfaces") may remain unlinked.
• Visual/Tactile columns use only three values: Yes, Partial, No. No rating scales, numeric scores, or fidelity domain language.
• Simulator column entries must link to verified existing pages. Generic descriptions ("subcutaneous fat layer simulation trainers") are prohibited. Cross-reference against the simulator catalog. Empty cells are acceptable.
• Notes/Tips column contains factual recipe data only. Recipe specs (Shore hardness, measurements), preparation instructions. No fidelity domain language (Visual/Tactile/Functional/Feedback ratings).
• Tissue rows use HTML format (<tr><td>), not wikitable syntax, to avoid pipe-character conflicts inside template parameters.
• Hero images use |thumb|350px| format with alt= text. No |frame|.
• Material names are generic, not brand-specific. Brand information belongs in page body only.
• Measurements use metric-first format: "X cm (Y in)". If original source uses imperial, convert and show both.
• All content must be source-traceable. No AI-generated clinical claims, safety data, or cultural assessments without published sources.

The following templates must be placed outside the TissueDB Materials template call:

{{TissueDB Materials
| description = ...
| tissue_rows = ...
...
}}

{{Synonym data
| case = ...
| trade = ...
...
}}

{{Page data
| keywords = ...
| description = ...
| hide = yes
}}

The following parameters were removed from the template on 20 March 2026 (rev 1240178). They are no longer rendered even if present in page source. Pages should have these stripped during audit:

• background_content — Triggered Background section rendering
• clinical_context — Clinical context subsection
• processing_prep — Processing and preparation subsection
• safety_handling — Safety and handling subsection
• license_plate — Accessibility and infrastructure factors

These sections were classified as supplementary content not required by the SELF Developer Playbook. Content is preserved in page revision history and can be recovered if the Playbook scope is expanded in future.
