Template:PMID/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:PMID.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template is used on approximately 7,000 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

This template provides an external link to PubMed abstracts of biomedical journals.

It is intended to be used where a short in-text citation link is adequate to get the point across and where including a full citation might be overkill (as, for example, on talk pages).

Usage

The template requires a PMID abstract number to be given:

Markup	{{PMID\|12345678}}
Renders as	PubMed

To find a PMID abstract number, search for the article at https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/

This template also supports up to nine PMIDs, so the template comes in helpful to conveniently format lists of PMIDs (for example, in tables):

Markup	{{PMID\|12345678\|23456789\|12344321}}
Renders as	PubMed

For leadouts different from the default "," this can be specified using the optional |leadout= parameter:

Markup	{{PMID\|12345678\|23456789\|12344321\|leadout=and}}
Renders as	PubMed

The template also supports plain links using the |plainlink= parameter:

Markup	{{PMID\|12345678\|23456789\|12344321\|plainlink=yes}}
Renders as	PubMed

Markup	{{PMID\|12345678\|23456789\|12344321\|leadout=and\|plainlink=yes}}
Renders as	PubMed

Full citation

To generate full Template:Cite journal markup from a known PubMed abstract number, use Diberri's Wikipedia template filling tool which, for the example above, may yield something like:

Rubinstein, M. H. (1976). "A new granulation method for compressed tablets [proceedings]". Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology. 28 Supplement: 67P. PMID 12345.
