<!-- EDIT TEMPLATE DOCUMENTATION BELOW THIS LINE -->
{{info|1=This template is intended for [[Wikipedia:External links|external links]].  It is not designed for use as a [[Wikipedia:Citation templates|citation template]] for reliable sources.  Please consider using {{tlx|Cite arXiv}} for citations.}}

== Purpose ==
Provides a uniform method of formatting [[arXiv]] links, and makes it simpler to update if the format of those links changes in future.

== Usage ==
This template can be used in the following ways:
* {{kbd|{{Make code|<<arXiv!''0123456''>>}}}}
* {{kbd|{{Make code|<<arXiv!id{{=}}''0123456''>>}}}}

The parameters have the following meaning:
* {{para|1}} or {{para|id}} or specifies the ID of the particular entry

=== Examples ===
{{Automarkup
|{{Make code|<<arXiv!cs/0005003>>}}
|{{Make code|<<arXiv!id{{=}}cs/0005003>>}}
|{{Make code|<<arXiv!0704.0001>>}}
|{{Make code|<<arXiv!id{{=}}0704.0001>>}}
|{{Make code|<<arXiv!1501.00492>>}}
|{{Make code|<<arXiv!id{{=}}1501.00492>>}}
}}

{{cs1}} and {{cs2}} templates include a {{para|arxiv}} parameter with the same function.

== Deprecated usage ==
* {{kbd|{{Make code|<<arXiv!''arch-ive''!''0123456''>>}}}}
* {{kbd|{{Make code|<<arXiv!archive{{=}}''arch-ive''!id{{=}}''0123456''>>}}}}

These calling sequences were used for before 1 April 2007 when the new identifiers that removed the archive class from the identifiers themselves.

The older entries can still be linked to by removing the delimiting "." and subject class or category specifier from the identifier and delimiting the remaining archive specifier and the rest of the identifier (the dated entry number) with a slash ("/").

The parameters have the following meaning:
* {{para|1}} or {{para|archive}} specifies the [[arXiv]] archive (full list [https://arxiv.org/help/archive_list here]) using the abbreviated code
* {{para|2}} or {{para|id}} specifies the ID of the particular entry

{{Automarkup
|{{Make code|<<arXiv!cs.DL!0005003>>}}
|{{Make code|<<arXiv!archive{{=}}cs.DL!id{{=}}0005003>>}}
}}
