Help:Magic links

Magic links are automatic links for certain unique identifiers that require no markup. This functionality is expected to be removed from the MediaWiki software; users are encouraged to use the corresponding templates.
ISBN
[edit ]The following instructions are deprecated. Editors should use the {{ISBN }} template to link ISBNs.
The International Standard Book Number (ISBN) is a unique numeric commercial book identifier. The created link is to Special:BookSources. The allowable formats are:
- 10 or 13 digits
- optional delimiting hyphens or spaces
- 1 check character
| Markup | Renders as |
|---|---|
ISBN 978-0-306-40615-7 |
ISBN 978-0-306-40615-7 |
ISBN 1413304540 |
ISBN 1413304540 |
See Category:Pages using ISBN magic links.
PMID
[edit ]The following instructions are deprecated. Editors should use the {{PMID }} template to link PMIDs.
A PMID (PubMed identifier or PubMed unique identifier) is a unique number assigned to a PubMed record.
| Markup | Renders as |
|---|---|
PMID 11209037 |
PMID 11209037. |
See Category:Pages using PMID magic links.
RFC
[edit ]The following instructions are deprecated. Editors should use the {{IETF RFC }} template to link IETF RFCs.
A Request for Comments (RFC) is a memorandum published by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF).
| Markup | Renders as |
|---|---|
RFC 5620 |
RFC 5620 |
See Category:Pages using RFC magic links.
Suppressing the link
[edit ]The following instructions will no longer be necessary when magic links are disabled.
If no link is desired, insert <nowiki /> between the identifier and the value.
| Markup | Renders as |
|---|---|
ISBN <nowiki />978-0-306-40615-7 |
ISBN 978-0-306-40615-7 |
Or alternatively, wrap <nowiki>...</nowiki> around the entire magic link:
| Markup | Renders as |
|---|---|
<nowiki>ISBN 978-0-306-40615-7</nowiki> |
ISBN 978-0-306-40615-7 |

[edit ]Magic links are rendered by Parser.php . The links for PMID and RFC are rendered by MediaWiki interface pages:
- PMID: MediaWiki:Pubmedurl
- RFC: MediaWiki:Rfcurl
