Template:Journal ISO Notice
{{Infobox journal}} now features ISO 4 redirect detection to help with the creation and maintenance of these redirects, and will populate Category:Articles with missing ISO 4 abbreviation redirects. ISO 4 redirects help readers find journal articles based on their official ISO abbreviations (e.g. J. Phys. A → Journal of Physics A), and also help with compilations like WP:JCW and WP:JCW/TAR.
The category is populated by the |abbreviation=
parameter of {{Infobox journal}}. If you're interested in creating missing ISO 4 redirects:
- Load up an article from the category.
- One or more maintenance templates should be at the top of page, with links to create the relevant redirects and verify the abbreviations.
- VERIFY THAT THE ABBREVIATION IN
|abbreviation=
IS CORRECT FIRST
- There are links in the maintenance templates to facilitate this. See full detailed instructions at Category:Articles with missing ISO 4 abbreviation redirects.
|abbreviation=
should contain dotted, title cased versions of the abbreviations (e.g.J. Phys.
, notJ Phys
orJ. phys.
). Also verify that the dots are appropriate.- If you cannot determine the correct abbreviation, or aren't sure, leave a message at WT:JOURNALS and someone will help you.
- Use the link in the maintenance template to create the redirects and automatically tag them with {{R from ISO 4}}.
- WP:NULL/WP:PURGE the original article to remove the maintenance templates.
