Template:Erratum

File:Test Template Info-Icon - Version (2).svg Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Required parameters

{{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

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.

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

• Smith, J. (2008). "Foobar." Journal of Barfoo. 5:12. (Erratum: )

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

• (Erratum: , )

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

Pages containing this template will be placed in the category Category:Articles citing publications with errata. Pages containing checked errata will instead be placed in Category:Articles intentionally citing publications with errata.
