Template:Erratum/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Required parameters

[edit]

{{Erratum}} requires an identifier link to the errata: |bibcode= (for bibcodes), |doi= (for DOIs), |pmc= (for PMCIDs), and |pmid= (for PMIDs) are supported.

Failing that, {{Erratum|https://...}} is also supported for a generic web link.

Usage

[edit]

This template is used to mark citations with errata/corrigenda. Using

  • Smith, J. (2008). "Foobar." ''Journal of Barfoo''. '''5''':12. {{erratum|doi=10.1234/0123456789}}

gives

  • Smith, J. (2008). "Foobar." Journal of Barfoo. 5:12. (Erratum: doi:10.1234/0123456789. If the erratum has been checked and does not affect the cited material, please replace {{erratum|...}} with {{erratum|...|checked=yes}}.)

If the errata does not affect the relevant material (e.g. a correction to author names and affiliated, a correction that affects a passage unrelated to the material supported by the citation), then use

  • {{erratum|doi=10.1234/0123456789|checked=yes}}

which gives

If the errata affects the relevant material, then update the article accordingly before marking the erratum as checked. The template works with citation templates too, for example

*{{cite journal |last1=Gallouzi |first1=I. E. |last2=Brennan |first2=C. M. |last3=Steitz |first3=J. A. |title=Protein ligands mediate the CRM1-dependent export of HuR in response to heat shock |journal=RNA |date=September 2001 |volume=7 |issue=9 |pages=1348-61 |pmc=1370177 |pmid=11565755}} {{erratum|pmid=14561890|pmc=1287062|checked=yes}}

gives


Do not use this template in the fields of citation templates such as Citation Style 1 and Citation Style 2, as the HTML markup will be rendered in the metadata for that field.

Cleanup and tracking categories

[edit]

Pages containing this template will be placed in the category Category:Articles citing publications with errata. Pages containing unchecked errata will instead be placed in Category:Articles unintentionally citing publications with errata. Ideally this last category should be empty.
