Template:PMID
Template documentation | This template is used on 7,000 pages. To avoid large-scale disruption and unnecessary server load, any changes to it should first be tested in its /sandbox or /testcases subpages or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can then be added to this page in a single edit. Please consider discussing any 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[edit source]
The template requires a PMID abstract number to be given:
Call: {{PMID|12345678}} Result: PMID 12345678
To find a PMID abstract number, search for the article at https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed
(Note: At present the Wikipedia software still recognizes in-text PMIDs automagically, so it is not normally necessary to use this template when only a single PMID should be given, however, support for magic links will be removed from Mediawiki soon.)
However, this template also supports up to 9 PMIDs, so the template comes in helpful to conveniently format lists of PMIDs (for example, in tables):
Call: {{PMID|12345678|23456789|12344321}} Result: PMID 12345678, 23456789, 12344321
For leadouts different from the default "," this can be specified using the optional |leadout= parameter:
Call: {{PMID|12345678|23456789|12344321|leadout=and}} Result: PMID 12345678, 23456789 and 12344321
The template also supports plain links using the |plainlink= parameter:
Call: {{PMID|12345678|23456789|12344321|plainlink=yes}} Result: 12345678, 23456789, 12344321
Call: {{PMID|12345678|23456789|12344321|leadout=and|plainlink=yes}} Result: 12345678, 23456789 and 12344321
Full citation[edit source]
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.
