Template talk:OEIS
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Is there a page that explains how to use this template? Something along the lines of, "To put a link to an OEIS sequence write something like
The next few [[Carmichael numbers]] are {{OEIS|id=A002997}}:
and it'll come out
The next few Carmichael numbers are (sequence A002997 in OEIS):

- Not really. Btw, you can use oeis:A002997 for just the link (I added the whole phrase to the template because 90% of all articles that reference OEIS seem to use that format). Fredrik | talk 5 July 2005 23:24 (UTC)

- I figured as much. Personally, though, I prefer Mathworld's format (Sloane's A002997). PrimeFan 6 July 2005 21:16 (UTC)
[edit] External link
Clicking on a link that is the result of this template takes one to an external site, but this is not indicated by the link presentation. This seems incorrect to me - Leonard G. 03:25, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
- I agree, but it appears to be an effect of the oeis: link protocol which is built into the Wikimedia software. It doesn't seem possible or at least simple to change this. Maybe it would be possible to add the words "(external link)" to the tooltip portion of the substituted template, so it pops up when you hover? Rpresser 16:02, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
- I think I can use the fullurl: parser function to put the external link symbol. --Kevinkor2 11:59, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
