[edit] Discussion

The arXiv is changing in a few weeks to a new scheme in which papers are identified by an id but not by the archive part: e.g. instead of arXiv:cs.CG/9901009 they would be something like arXiv:0701.0024 [1]. Any thoughts on how this template should handle the change? Should something like {{arxiv|id=0701.0024}} without an archive tag be made to work, or would it be safer to replace the id with a different field name so that we can recognize oldstyle arxiv ids that are missing their archive fields? —David Eppstein 22:39, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
