Template talk:ICD10PCS

Not working?

Not sure if it's just me but the ICD10PCS template doesn't seem to work, it just links to http://www.icd10data.com/ICD10PCS/Codes/, whatever is filled in for the code (for example on Dacryoscintigraphy). The fact that the example on the Template:Infobox diagnostic page does the same leads me to think it's a problem with the template itself? -Beevil (talk) 22:03, 30 May 2017 (UTC)

• I have put together a fix. I couldn't get the second parameter to behave as described in the documentation. Fortunately the external source seems able to correctly parse being fed just a code. The "fix" was only working during preview. So self-reverted, and await expert input. Little pob (talk) 11:58, 6 September 2017 (UTC)

Fixed @Beevil and Little pob: I've fixed the template, though it may take a while for cached pages to reflect the change. The template needed a little conditional logic to test for the existence of parameter #2 when building the URL. Also of note, two codes used in the examples didn't have a page on the site the template links to. I revised the documentation accordingly. —Shelley V. Adams ‹blame

ICD10data have added the chapter, block, and category as subfolders before each code. See as an example. As such links are no longer parsing correctly. Is there another free ICD-10-PCS look-up service that does not have advertising? Little pob (talk) 19:02, 21 May 2018 (UTC)

I have altered the documentation to state that both parameters are needed. However, the template does not work for some partial codes/chapter level links. For example compare the codes listed at Hypnotherapy and Neurosurgery#Neurosurgery methods to Radiation therapy. Little pob (talk) 14:14, 22 May 2018 (UTC)
