Template:PlanetMath reference/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This template is for adding a reference to an article in PlanetMath, a free community encyclopedia of mathematics.

Usage

[edit]

Suppose you want to add a reference to PlanetMath's article on quotient rings. The title of this article is "quotient ring". Go to PlanetMath to figure out the required URL name, in this case `QuotientRing`, and use it as the `urlname` parameter value.

On the PlanetMath page, besides in the URL itself, you can find the required urlname value at the bottom of the page, under `Canonical name`. If you know only an approximate title, you can also search for it on https://planetmath.org/msc.html .

The code

* {{PlanetMath reference|urlname=QuotientRing|title=Quotient ring}}

will produce the link

  • "Quotient ring". PlanetMath.

PlanetMath used to use so-called object ids, but as of 2021-12-24 does not support these any more. For example, the object id of the "quotient ring" article used to be 470. Below the article, a list of attributes still gives a "numerical id", 18 in the "quotient ring" example. Apparently this numerical ID has no relationship to the old ID value. If this is correct, the "numeric id" can not be used to get existing id-style references on Wikipedia working again. This template still supports the id parameter, in the unchanged form that no longer works.

There are optional author, version and accessdate parameters

* {{PlanetMath reference|urlname=QuotientRing|title=Quotient ring|author= David Jao| version=13 | accessdate=14 April 2012}}

will produce
