{{tsh|PMC}}<br />
<br />
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 {{para|pmc}} in {{cs1}} and {{cs2}} templates except that this template can be used to render multiple PMC identifiers.<br />
<br />
== Usage ==<br />
This template accepts these parameters:<br />
:{{para|id{{var|n}}}} – a PMC identifier; the {{para|id{{var|n}}}} parameter name is not required but is recommended for clarity when the template has multiple identifiers<br />
:{{para|pmc-embargo-date{{var|n}}}} – for embargoed PMC identifier; specifies the end-date of the embargo period<br />
:{{para|link}} – accepts a single value <code>no</code>; for use when the 'PMC ' prefix in the rendering should not be linked<br />
:{{para|plainlink}} – accepts a single value <code>yes</code>; suppresses the 'PMC ' prefix in the rendering<br />
:{{para|leadout}} – defines the conjunction between the last two identifiers in the rendered list; defaults to <code>, </code><br />
The basic form is:<br />
:<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline="1">{{pmc|id=137841}}</syntaxhighlight> → {{pmc|id=137841}}<br />
To unlink the prefix:<br />
:<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline="1">{{pmc|id=137841|link=no}}</syntaxhighlight> → {{pmc|id=137841|link=no}}<br />
To suppress the prefix:<br />
:<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline="1">{{pmc|id=137841|plainlink=yes}}</syntaxhighlight> → {{pmc|id=137841|plainlink=yes}}<br />
<br />
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, [[User:Diberri|Diberri]]'s Wikipedia template filling tool can generate a fully populated {{tl|cite journal}} markup using the PMC article number. https://citation-template-filling.toolforge.org/cgi-bin/index.cgi<br />
<br />
==Tracking categories==<br />
*{{cl|Pages with PMC errors}} – {{color|#d33|error}} category for {{tld|PMC}} templates that show an error message<br />
*{{cl|PMC format}} – {{color|#18911f|maintenance}} category for {{tld|PMC}} templates with an identifier that has an extraneous 'PMC' prefix<br />
*{{cl|PMC embargo expired}} – {{color|#18911f|maintenance}} category for {{tld|PMC}} templates with lapsed {{para|pmc-embargo-date}}<br />
Because this template uses the same code as cs1|2 templates, {{color|#d33|error}} and {{color|#18911f|maintenance}} visibility is controlled the same way. See {{slink|Help:CS1_errors|Controlling_error_message_display}}.<br />
