Template:Arxiv/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Arxiv (see that page for the template itself).
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

[edit] Purpose

Provides a uniform method of formatting arXiv links, and makes it simpler to update if the format of those links changes in future.

[edit] Usage

This template can be used in the following ways:

  • {{ arxiv | archive=arch-ive | id=0123456 }}
  • {{ arxiv | arch-ive | 0123456 }}
  • {{ arxiv | id=0123456 }}
  • {{ arxiv | 0123456 }}

The first two calling sequence are to be used for old-style identifiers (i.e., those before 1 April 2007), while the latter two are for newer papers (after 31 March 2007).

The parameters have the following meaning:

  • archive specifies the arXiv archive (full list here) using the abbreviated code
  • id specifies the ID of the particular entry
