Template:TissueDB Structure Layout

From Appropedia
Template documentationedit documentation

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]

Canonical (new pages)

[edit source]
{{TissueDB Structure Layout
| lead_paragraph = The '''abdominal wall''' is a seven-layer anatomical structure that surgeons penetrate in every abdominal approach.
| image_markup = [[File:Gray abdomen layers.png|thumb|350px|Anatomical cross-section. Public Domain via Wikimedia Commons]]
| component_tissues_rows =
<tr><td>Skin</td><td>Superficial</td><td>1-3 mm thickness; first tactile resistance</td><td>[[TissueDB/Tissues/Skin|Skin]]</td></tr>
<tr><td>Fascia</td><td>Deep to skin</td><td>Distinct pop on penetration</td><td>[[TissueDB/Tissues/Fascia|Fascia]]</td></tr>
<tr><td>Muscle</td><td>Deep to fascia</td><td>Variable thickness; compressible</td><td>[[TissueDB/Tissues/Muscle|Muscle]]</td></tr>
<tr><td>Peritoneum</td><td>Deepest</td><td>Final layer before cavity</td><td>[[TissueDB/Tissues/Peritoneum and Serosa|Peritoneum]]</td></tr>
}}

{{Page data
| keywords = abdominal wall, anatomy, simulation
| description = Component tissues of the abdominal wall.
| hide = yes
}}

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: auto wrappers for mobile responsiveness.
  • The Component Tissues table is rendered via {{TissueDB Structure Component Tissues Table}} sub-template.
