Usage
Inline link helper for Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs). Resolves to https://doi.org/.
Syntax
{{Doi|10.xxxx/yyyyy}}renders as doi:10.xxxx/yyyyy (linked).{{Doi|10.xxxx/yyyyy|custom label}}renders the custom label as the link text.
The first positional argument is the bare DOI (no doi: prefix, no URL). The second positional argument is an optional display override.

Verification
Before adding a DOI to a citation, confirm it resolves cleanly via PubMed or the publisher's landing page rather than via a publisher redirect URL, which may be stale, paywalled or recycled. Wrong DOIs are worse than no DOI: they ship the reader to a different paper while looking authoritative.
Case sensitivity
MediaWiki normalises the first letter of template names, so {{Doi|...}} and {{doi|...}} both resolve here. Full-uppercase {{DOI|...}} would need a separate redirect; not created.
