User:Tokenzero/infoboxJournal

infoboxJournal.js (source) is a user script for adding and standardizing {{infobox journal}} templates.

Install by adding the following to your common.js page (or your skin.js page):

{{subst:iusc|User:Tokenzero/infoboxJournal.js}}

You may have to create this page if you don't already have one.

Use by clicking Infobox journal in the More dropdown menu (next to Read/Edit/View history):

• on the view page of an article—redirects you to a diff previewing a proposed edit.
• on an edit page—modifies your current working textarea and summary.
• in either case it displays a helper box on top with warnings and a list of parameters to double-check.

Functionality:

• Adds a standard {{infobox journal}} if there is none.
• Reformats existing {{infobox journal}} to a 'standard form' template (standardizing whitespace, empty parameters to be filled, and the order of parameters).
• Removes redundant {{italic title}} templates (the infobox already calls it).
• Pre-fills a number of parameters automatically (see parameter documentation); prefilling is prone to errors, so check the helper box.
  • |title=, based on {{PAGENAME}} – watch out for infoboxes on non-journal articles (e.g. like a society that publishes the journal)
  • |frequency=, based on Category:Academic journals by publication frequency (and its subcategories)
  • |language=, based on Category:Academic journals by language
  • |publisher=, based on Category:Academic journals by publisher
  • |discipline=, based on Category:Academic journals by subject area
  • |openaccess= based on Category:Open access journals
  • |history=, based on Category:Publications by decade of establishment / Category:Publications by decade of disestablishment / Category:Defunct journals
  • |website= based on {{Official website}} (and synonyms)
  • |ISSN= based on {{ISSN}} (warns if multiple are present)
  • |eISSN= based on {{eISSN}} (warns if multiple are present)
• Replaces - (hyphen) and — / — (mdash) with – (ndash) in |history=
• Removes |boxwidth= if empty/comment only
• Removes obsolete parameters: |RSS=, |atom=
