Gastroenterology is the branch of medicine that deals with diseases of the liver and the digestive tract.
This task force aims to:
- increase the quality of the current articles on gastroenterology topics by increasing their medical content while keeping them accessible to individuals with no specialty medical knowledge
- facilitate the creation of new articles on topics in gastroenterology and hepatology
- ensure that articles created on gastroenterology topics are well referenced, including the insertion of up-to-date links to the most recent literature
- maintain consistency per WP:MOS on gastroenterology articles
- increase the number of endoscopic images attached to articles
- produce gastroenterology-themed featured articles based on the above
- include both traditional and complementary and alternative medicine therapies for gastrointestinal illness, with appropriate focus based on the evidence
- improve the gastroenterology bluebox {{Gastroenterology}}

[edit]Project notice
[edit]The template for marking an article as part of the Gastroenterology task force is part of the WikiProject Medicine banner, {{WPMED}}. It can be inserted into an article's talkpage with:
- {{WPMED |class= |importance= |gastroenterology=yes |gastroenterology-imp= }}
The first "importance" parameter is the subject's importance to the overall field of medicine, according to the guidelines here. The importance of a subject to the field of gastroenterology should be listed with the "gastroenterology-imp" parameter.
