__EXPECTED_UNCONNECTED_PAGE__

Makes a link to PubMed abstracts of biomedical journals, from a PMID identifier. The identifier is rendered using much of the same code that renders <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|pmid= in Citation Style 1 and Citation Style 2 templates except that this template can be used to render multiple PMID identifiers.

Usage

This template accepts these parameters:

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|idn= – a PMID identifier; the <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|idn= parameter name is not required but is recommended for clarity when the template has multiple identifiers

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|link= – accepts a single value no; for use when the 'PMID' prefix in the rendering should not be linked

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|plainlink= – accepts a single value yes; suppresses the 'PMID' prefix in the rendering

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|leadout= – defines the conjunction between the last two identifiers in the rendered list; defaults to ,

The basic form is:

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline="1">PMID 12345678</syntaxhighlight> → PMID 12345678

To unlink the prefix:

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline="1">PMID 12345678</syntaxhighlight> → PMID 12345678

To suppress the prefix:

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline="1">12345678</syntaxhighlight> → 12345678

Multiple PMID identifiers:

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline="1">PMID 12345678, 23456789, 12344321</syntaxhighlight> → PMID 12345678, 23456789, 12344321

Multiple PMID identifiers with <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|leadout=:

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline="1">PMID 12345678, 23456789 and 12344321</syntaxhighlight> → PMID 12345678, 23456789 and 12344321

For instructions on how to use Wikipedia to automatically expand a PMID into a full reference complete with article title, author(s), date, journal name, volume, issue, page numbers, etc., please see User:Citation bot/use. Alternatively, Diberri's Wikipedia template filling tool can generate a fully populated {{cite journal}} markup using the PMID article number. https://citation-template-filling.toolforge.org/cgi-bin/index.cgi

Tracking categories

• Category:Pages with PMID errors – error category for {{PMID}} templates that show an error message

Because this template uses the same code as cs1|2 templates, error and maintenance visibility is controlled the same way. See Help:CS1 errors § Controlling error message display.
