JCW-row searching

[edit]

I'm looking at {{JCW-row}}; and assume this is the best place for discussion.

The search links are created by this markup:

<small class="nowrap">[//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Search&search={{{search}}}&fulltext=Search Wikipedia] <sub>([//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Search&search={{{search}}}+journal&fulltext=Search J]·[//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Search&search={{{search}}}+magazine&fulltext=Search M]·[//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Search&search=The+{{{search}}}&fulltext=Search T])</sub></small><br>
<small class="nowrap">[http://www.google.com/#hl=en&q=%22{{{search}}}%22+-wikipedia Google] <sub>([http://www.google.com/#hl=en&q=%22{{{search}}}%22+journal+-wikipedia J]·[http://www.google.com/#hl=en&q=%22{{{search}}}%22+magazine+-wikipedia M]·[http://www.google.com/#hl=en&q=%22The+{{{search}}}%22+-wikipedia T])

The Google searches put the search string in quotes (%22), but the Wikipedia searches do not. I propose that we should always do so; to avoid issues like this, where the search string is The Municipal Journal and the results are less than helpful.

Misspellings

[edit]

Here are a few more misspellings that I've fixed in significant numbers recently and may recur:

Some less academic sources were widely cited with typos. Would a sister WikiProject be interested? Similarly, they're fixed as of a recent date but may be of future interest:

...and a few relevant publishers

@Certes: as far as the compilation goes, you only need to make sure the redirect is tagged with {{R from typo}} or {{R from incorrect name}} or similar. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 15:41, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Same for {{R from miscaps}} and {{R to diacritics}} which get their own pages. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 15:49, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Cite Q

[edit]

Question: When a citation is embedded in the Cite Q template, does it still get counted in the "Journals cited by Wikipedia" totals displayed on these pages? Thanks in advance, Esculenta (talk) 13:31, 11 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't, no. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 13:48, 11 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
[edit]

seem to be missing particle "search?" in the URL, e.g.:

I'll investigate. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 06:14, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Fgnievinski: should be fixed now. Good catch. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 06:21, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Here's a piece about the history of JCW I wrote for the Signpost. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 06:14, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That's a very interesting read.GobsPint (talk) 02:48, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The State Journal disambiguation

[edit]

Hello @Headbomb: I hope you are well 🙂 If you have a minute, could you fix the target on Wikipedia:WikiProject Academic Journals/Journals cited by Wikipedia/S58 from "The State Journal," which is now a disambiguation link, to The State Journal (West Virginia), which is what the article cited is referring to? I don't know how to fix this myself. Cheers! Johnson524 16:09, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is a bot-compiled list of whatever's in |journal=. What's important is that The State Journal dab mentions The State Journal (West Virginia), and that the article points to the correct journal. Both do. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 19:50, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Headbomb: Just making sure it's not a mistake, cheers! (Oh, and btw, that signpost article you linked above was a really interesting read, thanks for sharing it 🙂) Johnson524 21:57, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
