It produces a superscripted notation like the following: </p> <dl><dd>The treatment is definitely effective.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Identifying_reliable_sources_(medicine)" title="Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources (medicine)"><span title="Material near this tag may rely on an unreliable or less reliable medical source.">unreliable medical source?</span></a></i>]</sup></dd></dl> <p>Articles tagged with this template will be categorized into <a href="/wiki/Category:All_articles_lacking_reliable_references" title="Category:All articles lacking reliable references">Category:All articles lacking reliable references</a>. </p><p>Place this template inline, <code>{{<a class="mw-selflink selflink">Unreliable medical source</a>|date=November 2024}}</code> following the questionable claim (and any punctuation attached to it).

Example: <code>{{<a class="mw-selflink selflink">Unreliable medical source</a>|date=November 2024}}</code></li> <li><b>reason</b>: a note explaining why you think the source is unreliable as per <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:MEDRS" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:MEDRS">WP:MEDRS</a>. Displays as a tool tip. Keep it short (one sentence) as longer material belongs on the talk page. It is good to reiterate the reason in your edit summary. Example: <code>{{<a class="mw-selflink selflink">Unreliable medical source</a>|reason=<var style="padding-right: 1px;">Your WP:MEDRS-based reason here.</var>|date=November 2024}}</code></li> <li><b>sure</b> or <b>certain</b>: if set to "y" or "yes" will remove the question mark from the template's output to denote a degree of certainty that the source is unreliable. Please use this with a <code>reason</code> parameter, and only after a good faith attempt to verify the reliability of the source in question. Example: <code>{{<a class="mw-selflink selflink">Unreliable medical source</a>|sure=y|reason=<var style="padding-right: 1px;">Your WP:RS-based reason here.</var>|date=November 2024}}</code></li></ul>
