Template:JAH/doc
| This is a documentation subpage for Template:JAH. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
This is a preview template, designed to facilitate the finding of abbreviations, and creation of various redirects for academic journals and similar publications. JAH stands for Journal Abbreviations Helper.
Usage
The template has two parameters, the first one is for the journal name or abbreviation, the second one for the 'issn'. The ISSN is optional, and will make a few more search link work.
{{JAH|JOURNALNAME|ISSN}}
To use the template, put say {{JAH|Journal of Foobar|0123-4567}} in the edit window, and click on Show preview.
If JOURNALNAME exist, you will be presented with something like this
- Search abbreviations for Journal of Physics A:
- Journal of Physics A doesn't exist, create it as a
{{R from...}}
- Journal of Physics A doesn't exist, create it as a
or (with the ISSN provided)
- Search abbreviations for Journal of Physics A:
- Journal of Physics A doesn't exist, create it as a

- Search abbreviations for 1751-8113:
which can then be used to search for abbreviations.
If JOURNALNAME does not exist, you will then be presented with something like
- Search abbreviations for Journal of Foobar:
- Journal of Foobar doesn't exist, create it as a
{{R from...}}
- Journal of Foobar doesn't exist, create it as a
- Search abbreviations for 0123-4567:
The redirect creation links will pre-load a page that can then be saved to create redirects from JOURNALNAME to the page the template is previewed on. For instance if JOURNALNAME is a former name of the journal, click on "former name", to create a redirect tagged with {{R from former name}}.
However, to create a redirect from an abbreviation, you need to first find the abbreviation (e.g. J. Foobar), and preview the page again
- Search abbreviations for J. Foobar:
- Search abbreviations for 0123-4567:
and then click on the appropriate link (e.g. 'ISO 4 abbreviation' for an ISO 4 abbreviation).
