Template:Journal abbreviations helper/core
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.

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 Foobar:
- 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}}.
