Template:Retracted/doc

Usage

This template is used to mark citations to retracted works.

Using

• Smith, J. (2008). "Foobar." ''Journal of Barfoo''. '''5''':12. {{retracted}}

gives

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

If the retracted article is intended to be cited, for example while discussing the role of the publication in a controversy, then use

• {{retracted|intentional=yes}}

which gives

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

If it's not intended to be cited, the citation should be removed per WP:RS, and the content of the article updated accordingly.

If a link to the retraction is desired, you can use

• Smith, J. (2008). "Foobar." ''Journal of Barfoo''. '''5''':12. {{retracted|{{PMID|21685368}}|intentional=yes}}

which gives

• Smith, J. (2008). "Foobar." Journal of Barfoo. 5:12. (Retracted, see PMID 21685368)

However, you can also do something like

• Smith, J. (2008). "Foobar." ''Journal of Barfoo''. '''5''':12. {{retracted|Smith, J. (2008). "Retraction: Foobar." ''Journal of Barfoo''. '''6''':78. |intentional=yes}}

which gives

• Smith, J. (2008). "Foobar." Journal of Barfoo. 5:12. (Retracted, see Smith, J. (2008). "Retraction: Foobar." Journal of Barfoo. 6:78.)

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 category

Pages containing this template will be placed in the category Category:Articles citing retracted publications, unless the citations are marked as intentional. Ideally this category should be empty.
