Template:MR/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:MR. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template uses Lua: Module:CS1 identifiers Module:Citation/CS1/Configuration (sandbox) Module:Citation/CS1/Identifiers (sandbox) Module:Citation/CS1/Utilities (sandbox)

The link in this template goes to a redirect page instead of to the article that is the target of the redirect. This redirect link is intentional so that links using the template are distinguishable from links to the article on the Special:WhatLinksHere/MR page.

Makes a link to MathSciNet from the Mathematical Reviews review identifier. The identifier is rendered using much of the same code that renders |mr= in Citation Style 1 and Citation Style 2 templates except that this template can be used to render multiple MR identifiers.

This template accepts these parameters:

|idn= – an MR identifier; the |idn= parameter name is not required but is recommended for clarity when the template has multiple identifiers

|link= – accepts a single value no; for use when it is the 'MR' prefix in the rendering should not be linked

|plainlink= – accepts a single value yes; suppresses the 'MR' prefix in the rendering

|leadout= – defines the conjunction between the last two identifiers in the rendered list; defaults to ,

The basic form is:

{{mr|id=396410}} → MR 0396410

To unlink the prefix:

{{mr|id=396410|link=no}} → MR 0396410

To suppress the prefix:

{{mr|id=396410|plainlink=yes}} → 0396410

Multiple identifiers:

{{MR|9016|37277|69787|122834|177027|263581}} → MR 0009016, 0037277, 0069787, 0122834, 0177027, 0263581

Multiple identifiers with |leadout=, :

{{MR|9016|37277|69787|122834|177027|263581|leadout=and}} → MR 0009016, 0037277, 0069787, 0122834, 0177027 and 0263581

Old-style MR identifiers like {{MR|96d:11071}}, which resolves to MR 0396410, are not supported by this template. Just use MR 0396410 directly.

• Category:Pages with MR errors – error category for {{mr}} templates that show an error message
• Category:MR format – maintenance category for {{mr}} templates with an identifier that has an extraneous 'MR' prefix.

Because this template uses the same code as cs1|2 templates, error and maintenance visibility is controlled the same way. See Help:CS1 errors § Controlling error message display.

Citation Style 1 and Citation Style 2 templates include a |mr= parameter with the same function.
