| This is a documentation subpage for Template:Cite pmid. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
| File:Stop hand.svg | Per consensus, this template should no longer be used. Instead, please use the {{cite journal}} template. |
| Per WP:CITEVAR, only use this template in articles whose references are formatted as described below. Please do not use the cite pmid template in articles whose references are formatted differently (e.g., articles that use the Vancouver system). |
Technical overview
The template works by transcluding a template, which is stored as Template:cite pmid/xxxxxxxx. This subpage is filled out by a bot using the {{cite journal}} syntax. If the article already exists in, say, Template:Cite doi, a redirect to the appropriate page will be created.
