Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]This template is intended to allow simple standardized links to bibcodes. For example, {{bibcode|1998ApJ...508L..81K}} will produce Bibcode:1998ApJ…508L..81K external link.
Usage
This template accepts these parameters:
|idn=– a bibcode identifier; the|idn=parameter name is not required but is recommended for clarity when the template has multiple bibcodes|bibcode-accessn=– accepts a single valuefree; for use when the bibcode at|idn=is free-to-read; enumerators required for second and subsequent bibcode identifiers; bibcode identified sources are assumed to be paywall protected|link=– accepts a single valueno; for use when it is the ‘Bibcode:’ prefix in the rendering should not be linked|plainlink=– accepts a single valueyes; suppresses the ‘Bibcode:’ prefix in the rendering|leadout=– defines the conjunction between the last two identifiers in the rendered list; defaults to,
The basic form is:
{{bibcode|place_bibcode_id_number_here}}
Example
{{bibcode|1998ApJ...508L..81K}}→ Bibcode:1998ApJ…508L..81K{{bibcode|1927LAstr..41..165F|bibcode-access=free}}→ Bibcode:1927LAstr..41..165F
Error messages
The {{bibcode}} template checks the bibcode value to see if it has the proper format.[1] When the assigned value does not have the proper format, the template returns an error message along with the type of error that is encountered:
- Check bibcode <type>
Bibcode template values are expected to match these requirements:
- length must be 19 characters (<type> = ‘length‘)
- characters in position(s): (except as specified otherwise, violations produce ‘value‘ in the <type> portion of the error message):
- 1–4 must be digits and must represent a year in the range of 1000 – next year (<type> = ‘year‘)
- 5 must be a letter
- 6–8 must be letter, ampersand, or dot (ampersand cannot directly precede a dot; &. (<type> = ‘journal‘))
- 9 must be letter or dot
- 10–18 must be letter, digit, or dot
- 19 must be a letter or dot
To resolve this error, ensure that the assigned bibcode value is correct.

{{bibcode}}templates that show an error message
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.
