Ta̱mpi̱let:PubMed Central link
 | This template uses Lua: |
 | The link in this template goes to a redirect page instead of to the article that is the target of the redirect. This redirect link is intentional so that links using the template are distinguishable from links to the article on the Special:WhatLinksHere/PubMed Central link page. |
Makes a link to PubMed Central, a free digital database of full-text scientific literature in biomedical and life sciences, from a PMC identifier. The identifier is rendered using much of the same code that renders |pmc= in Citation Style 1 and Citation Style 2 templates except that this template can be used to render multiple PMC identifiers.
Usage
[jhyuk a̱tyin ka]This template accepts these parameters:
|idn=– a PMC identifier; the|idn=parameter name is not required but is recommended for clarity when the template has multiple identifiers|pmc-embargo-daten=– for embargoed PMC identifier; specifies the end-date of the embargo period|link=– accepts a single valueno; for use when the 'PMC ' prefix in the rendering should not be linked|plainlink=– accepts a single valueyes; suppresses the 'PMC ' prefix in the rendering|leadout=– defines the conjunction between the last two identifiers in the rendered list; defaults to,
The basic form is:
To unlink the prefix:
{{pmc|id=137841|link=no}}→ PMC 137841
To suppress the prefix:
{{pmc|id=137841|plainlink=yes}}→ 137841
For instructions on how to use Wikipedia to automatically expand a PMC 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 PMC article number. https://citation-template-filling.toolforge.org/cgi-bin/index.cgi
Tracking categories
[jhyuk a̱tyin ka]- Category:Pages with PMC errors – error category for
{{PMC}}templates that show an error message - Category:PMC format – maintenance category for
{{PMC}}templates with an identifier that has an extraneous 'PMC' prefix - Category:PMC embargo expired – maintenance category for
{{PMC}}templates with lapsed|pmc-embargo-date=
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.
