Alternate usages
If the work has any of the following identifiers, then one of these specific templates may be used: However, because these templates can be user-filled, they are prone to user error, and they generate a style that may not be compatible with other citations in the article (see WP:CITEVAR), so using the full cite journal template may be preferable, depending on the content area. For medical articles, this citation-filling template can be used to generate a cite journal template from a PubMed identified (PMID).
