Template:TissueDB Structure Layout/doc
This template creates TissueDB Structures pages — gateway pages that index component tissues into coherent anatomical systems. Per Dr. Mohr (26 Jan 2026): "this structure page should have the simplest table imaginable... the only thing that this structure page is doing is defining the tissues that go into [a structure], and giving people the links."
Structures pages are pass-through pages. They list the component tissues of an anatomical system and link to the corresponding TissueDB/Tissues/ pages. They do not contain build instructions, material specifications, or simulation design details.
Parameters
[edit source]Canonical Parameters
[edit source]| Parameter | Required | Type | Description | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| lead_paragraph | Yes | Wikitext | Brief introductory sentence identifying the structure and its surgical relevance | SELF Developer Playbook (Jan 2026) |
| component_tissues_rows | Yes | HTML rows | Table rows for Component Tissues table. Each row: tissue name, layer/position, key properties, link to TissueDB/Tissues/ page | Dr. Mohr directive (DM-0126-04) |
| image_markup | No | Wikitext | Complete [[File:...]] markup for hero image with attribution |
Platform convention |
Legacy Parameters (transitional)
[edit source]These parameters are accepted for backward compatibility with existing content pages (Abdominal Wall, Bowel Wall, Fallopian Tube). Content renders in a collapsed "Additional Information" section. New Structures pages should not use these parameters. When Dr. Mohr reviews Structures pages, this content may be relocated to simulator pages or SELF Modules.
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| antiskills | Wikitext | Simulation design warnings (renders as "Things to Look Out For") |
| overview | Wikitext | General overview prose |
| synonyms_text | Wikitext | Alternative names for this structure |
| related_structures | Wikitext | Links to related TissueDB/Structures/ pages |
| anatomical_description | Wikitext | Detailed anatomical prose |
| clinical_context | Wikitext | Clinical procedures involving this structure |
| simulation_considerations | Wikitext | Simulation fidelity notes |
| safety | Wikitext | Safety considerations |
Placement
[edit source]The Structure Layout is called directly in the page source. {{Page data}} and {{Synonym data}} are placed at page level after the Layout template closes, not inside the template.
Content Rules
[edit source]- Structures are gateway pages. They list tissues and link to Tissue pages. Do not duplicate tissue details.
- Component Tissues table MUST link to corresponding TissueDB/Tissues/ pages. If a Tissues page does not exist, create a stub first.
- NO License Plate on Structures pages. License Plate is mandatory only on Materials pages.
- Keep it minimal. Per Dr. Mohr (18 Feb 2026): "the structure pages are gonna be a dead, simple pass through... They will have nothing else but that."
- No internal codes on published pages. Remove all AP/DM/SIM-GATE codes before publishing.
Example

[edit source]{{TissueDB Structure Layout
| lead_paragraph = The '''abdominal wall''' is a seven-layer anatomical structure that surgeons penetrate in every abdominal approach.

Technical Notes
[edit source]- Canonical sections (lead, Component Tissues, References) always render.
- Legacy parameters only render if content is provided — empty parameters produce no output.
- Legacy content appears in a collapsed "Additional Information" section below References.
- The template automatically adds categories: TissueDB, Structures.
- Tables use HTML format with
overflow-x: autowrappers for mobile responsiveness. - The Component Tissues table is rendered via {{TissueDB Structure Component Tissues Table}} sub-template.
