Template:Retracted/doc
 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Retracted. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
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. (Retracted. If this is an intentional citation to a retracted paper, please replace
{{Retracted}}with{{Retracted|intentional=yes}}.)
If the retracted article is intended to be cited, for example while discussing the role of the publication in a controversy, then use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 <templatestyles src="Module:Citation/CS1/styles.css" />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.
