This is a preview template, designed to facilitate the finding of abbreviations, and creation of various redirects for academic journals and similar publications.
Usage
[edit]Mode 1
[edit]In the first mode, the template supports up to 10 parameters, for 10 different journal names.
{{JAH|JOURNALNAME1|JOURNALNAME2|...|JOURNALNAME10}}
To use the template, put say {{JAH|Journal of Foobar}} 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:
- Journal of Physics exists!
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 an
{{R from...}}
- Journal of Foobar doesn't exist! Create it as an
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 first need to find the abbreviation (e.g. J. Foobar), and preview the page again to get
- Search abbreviations for J. Foobar:

You will be then be presented with something like this
- Search abbreviations for Journal of Foobar:
- Journal of Foobar doesn't exist! Create it as an
