Template:R from ISO 4 abbreviation

When used inside the {{Redirect category shell}} template:

When used by itself:

• From an ISO 4 abbreviation: This is a redirect from an ISO 4 publication title abbreviation to the unabbreviated publication title, or an article containing information about the publication.
  • In cases of an ISO 4 abbreviation with partially missing dots, or dots used inappropriately, please use {{R from misspelling}}.

Proper ISO 4 usage

{{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. Category:Articles with missing ISO 4 abbreviation redirects

Auto: printworthy

This redirect category (rcat) template places pages into both Category:Redirects from ISO 4 abbreviations and Category:Printworthy redirects by default.

In 2003, efforts were begun to support the Wikimedia Foundation's goal of increasing access and availability of Wikipedia articles in printed versions. Redirects from ISO 4 abbreviation codes are suitable for a printed version. In other words they are printworthy.

Template usage

Use this rcat template on mainspace redirects only.

Use this rcat to tag mainspace redirects that are abbreviations that follow the ISO 4 standard for serial (e.g. scientific journal) abbreviations.

As of December 2013, the International Centre for the International Standard Serial Number (ISSN) maintains a resource for the List of Title Word Abbreviations, a multi-lingual abbreviation online lookup service. An example usage of this rcat is J. Nutr.Journal of Nutrition.

This rcat formats redirect page titles in italics by default.

Add this rcat to a redirect page (not a talk-page redirect) in the following manner:

With shell

#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from ISO 4 abbreviation}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}

Template {{Rcat shell}} is an alias for the Redirect category shell template, which may be used to add as many appropriate rcats as needed, usually from one to seven, along with their parameters, to a redirect. For more information see the documentation on its template page.

Standalone

This rcat may also tag a redirect individually:

#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]

{{R from ISO 4 abbreviation}}

This is in accord with instructions found at Wikipedia:REDCAT.
