Template:OMIM3

OMIM:

Usage
This template creates an abbreviated reference citation to a specific numbered page at the Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man database.

 , where "#####" is the OMIM page number.

Results:

This template is good to use after the first OMIM citation (use the OMIM template instead for that) in an article/section, as it is too short and uninformative by itself to use in the first instance (and isn't a wikilink to the Mendelian Inheritance in Man article, since OMIM already does that). Also, OMIM2 can be used after OMIM3 to shorten a long list of OMIM citations.

Furthermore, this template can also be used in infoboxes, though OMIM2 (and its OMIM4 plainlinks variant) were specifically intended for this purpose; which is more appropriate really depends on the layout of the infobox. Use in infoboxes will probably not need OMIM as the first citation. A "plainlinks" version of OMIM3, without the external link icon, is also available at OMIM5, for use in infoboxes where it is already clear that the links are external.
