 | This is the template sandbox page for Template:Handle ID (diff). See also the companion subpage for test cases. |

 | 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/Handle System page. |
Makes a link to a Handle System identifier. The identifier is rendered using much of the same code that renders |hdl= in Citation Style 1 and Citation Style 2 templates except that this template can be used to render multiple hdl identifiers.
Usage
editThis template accepts these parameters:
|idn=– an hdl identifier; the|idn=parameter name is not required but is recommended for clarity when the template has multiple identifiers|hdl-access=– accepts a single valueno; for use when the source identified by the hdl identifier is free-to-read|link=– accepts a single valueno; for use when it is the 'hdl:' prefix in the rendering should not be linked|plainlink=– accepts a single valueyes; suppresses the 'hdl:' prefix in the rendering|leadout=– defines the conjunction between the last two identifiers in the rendered list; defaults to,
The basic form is:
To mark an hdl identifier as free-to-read:
To unlink the prefix:
{{hdl|id=1808/3638|link=no}}→ hdl:1808/3638
To suppress the prefix:
{{hdl|id=1808/3638|plainlink=yes}}→ 1808/3638
For instructions on how to use Wikipedia to automatically expand an hdl identifier into a full reference complete with article title, author(s), date, journal name, volume, issue, page numbers, etc., please see User:Citation bot/use.
