WP:PMID

{{Wikipedia how-to|WP:PMID|WP:PUBMED}}

The {{tl|PMID}} template is used to create a link from a PMID codes for life sciences and biomedical articles to PubMed.

Example:

:Correct: {{PMID|4957203}} → {{PMID|4957203}}

:Incorrect: PMID 4957203 → PMID 4957203

:Incorrect: PMID:4957203 → PMID:4957203

:Incorrect: PubMed 4957203 → PubMed 4957203

Multiple PMIDs

If multiple PMIDs need to be listed in a row (for example in a table), this can be accomplished using the multiple template arguments.

:{{tlx|PMID|id1|id2|id3|id4|...}}

Example (with "," as default leadout):

:{{tlx|PMID|4957203|4957203|4957203|4957203}}

results in:

:{{PMID|4957203|4957203|4957203|4957203}}

Example (with "and" as leadout):

:{{tlx|PMID|4957203|4957203|4957203|4957203|leadout{{=}}and}}

results in:

:{{PMID|4957203|4957203|4957203|4957203|leadout=and}}

In citation templates

A single PMID can also be included in templates such as the {{cs1}} series by means of the {{para|pmid}} parameter. Integer values starting at 1 are allowed.

The linking is done internally to the template using a module or a subtemplate. The "PMID" string links to the article "PubMed", and the PMID number links to the PubMed article with that number.
