Proper ISO 4 usage[edit source]

{{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

Template usage[edit source]

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

#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. 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.

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^[update], 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.
