PMC validation

As a recent PMCID can now exceed 5000000, the current validation check in Module:Citation/CS1 can erroneously flag genuine ids.

To fix this, it is necessary to change line 1011 which currently reads:

local test_limit = 5000000

to some number which is larger than the largest PMCID that may be anticipated in the near future. --RexxS (talk) 17:23, 24 April 2018 (UTC)

PMIDs can now also go above 3000000 Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 23:14, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
