I suggest keys mr= and zbl= for Mathematical Reviews and Zentralblatt respectively.  Presumably they would depend on new templates Zbl and MR respectively.  [[User:Richard Pinch|Richard Pinch]] 18:13, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

Latest revision as of 13:13, 2 January 2013

I've made a couple of small modifications intended to improve the formatting of references.

Specifically, consider the case of a references such as,

{{cite book | author = Astérix | date = 52BC | title = Comment frapper les romains | publisher = Éditions Panoramix | location = Gaul | format = carved on a stone tablet | language = Gaulish }}

Whereas the old template would have rendered it as,

Astérix (52BC). Comment frapper les romains (carved on a stone tablet) (in Gaulish), Gaul: Éditions Panoramix.

The new template renders it as the much tidier,

Astérix (52BC). Comment frapper les romains (carved on a stone tablet, in Gaulish). Gaul: Éditions Panoramix. 

MR and ZBL keys

I suggest keys mr= and zbl= for Mathematical Reviews and Zentralblatt respectively. Presumably they would depend on new templates Zbl and MR respectively. Richard Pinch 18:13, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
