The {{PMID}} template is used to create a link from a PMID codes for life sciences and biomedical articles to PubMed.
Example:
Multiple PMIDs
editIf multiple PMIDs need to be listed in a row (for example in a table), this can be accomplished using the multiple template arguments.
{{PMID|id1|id2|id3|id4|...}}
Example (with "," as default leadout):
- {{PMID|4957203|4957203|4957203|4957203}}
results in:
Example (with "and" as leadout):
- {{PMID|4957203|4957203|4957203|4957203|leadout=and}}
results in:
In citation templates
editA single PMID can also be included in templates such as the Citation Style 1 series by means of the |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.
