Template talk:OMIM

message: I think there should be a link to the wikipedia article OMIM. I don't understand why it could be redundant. Many people never heard of it, especially the Average User. There are many other templates providing wikilinks explaining the resource, like these, so there is precedent.--Steven Fruitsmaak | Talk 11:13, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Originally, OMIM was linked to Mendelian Inheritance in Man. However, many articles have multiple OMIM links (subforms/isoforms etc), and it was felt that this would lead to overlinking. I support your reactivation of the link. JFW | T@lk 14:26, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: If it helps, we have another template, Template:OMIM2, which can help reduce overlinking when multiple consecutive links are required. --Arcadian 16:58, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, this would definitely help. I just want to avoid articles like this or ohteres that were even worse that are completely blue (it's bad enough that en.wikipedia links on every day and year that is mentioned). --Nina 07:23, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Dox transclude

message: I propose a tweak to what the template displays, from "Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM)" to "Online 'Mendelian Inheritance in Man' (OMIM)"
# The display of "Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM)" begs the question, what does the "O" stand for - the "Online" should be given.
# The online version of the database is more up-to-date than the published version and we are linking to the online, not the hardcopy, version.
I've also added an optional second parameter allowing OMIM article names to be described where this might be useful:

message: Leopard syndrome links to OMIM with an extra parameter that the template currently can't support - please
consider an extra template argument to support this if useful.
- Looking more closely this should be an OMIM2 variant.
See OMIM: ALLELIC VARIANTS
or given the dddddd.dddd parent locus/ allele variant number could be handled in the parent
locus first argument generally. An OMIM2 variant that allowed a description could replace the examples
below

ie
{{OMIM2|176876.0005|Y279C}}
{{OMIM2|176876.0006|T468M}}
...
From Leopard syndrome
There are 5 identified [[alleles|allelic]] [[Genetic diversity|variant]]s responsible for LEOPARD syndrome.
Y279C,
T468M, 
A461T, 
G464A, and 
Q510P
which seems to be a unique familial mutation, in that all other variants are caused by transition errors,
rather than [[transversion]].

thread_title: Third Parameter?

message: The NCBI has simplified the format of their OMIM links for example from:
* http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/dispomim.cgi?id=608042
to:
* http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/omim/608042
The former link still works but now is a redirect that pauses several seconds before one is taken to the desired web page.
The new direct link has been included here:
*  (diff)
and tested here:
* 
I would also appreciate if the corresponding changes are made to the ,  ,  ,  and  templates.

message: Following up from the merge discussion here, I'd like to propose a merge to one style using  as the basis. See Template:OMIM/sandbox. This will allow a better consistent style and also use  which will allow handling of errors or any other feature available to that template. --Gonnym (talk) 10:30, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Since some of the OMIM templates are used in infoboxes, the usage of cite (and the longform format) may not be appropriate. eg the table at Down syndrome research would look like this, which isn't really desirable. At a glance, I feel like that TfD should've been for two templates: one for citations (like this currently does), and then one single other template for non-template usages to be split into prefixing OMIM and not. Both those functionalities shouldn't logically be in the same template. ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 14:03, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
