==Required parameters==

{{tl|Erratum}} requires an identifier link to the errata: {{para|bibcode}} (for [[bibcode]]s), {{para|doi}} (for [[digital object identifiers|DOI]]s), {{para|pmc}} (for [[PMCID|PMCID]]s), and {{para|pmid}} (for [[PubMed Identifier|PMID]]s) are supported.

Failing that, {{tlx|Erratum|https://...}} is also supported for a [[URL|generic web link]].

== Usage ==

This template is used to mark citations with [[errata]]/[[corrigenda]].
Using
*<code><nowiki>Smith, J. (2008). "Foobar." ''Journal of Barfoo''. '''5''':12. {{erratum|doi=10.1234/0123456789}}</nowiki></code>
gives
*Smith, J. (2008). "Foobar." ''Journal of Barfoo''. '''5''':12. {{erratum|doi=10.1234/0123456789}}

If the errata does not affect the relevant material (e.g. a correction to author names and affiliated, a correction that affects a passage unrelated to the material supported by the citation), then use
*<code><nowiki>{{erratum|doi=10.1234/0123456789|checked=yes}}</nowiki></code>
which gives
*Smith, J. (2008). "Foobar." ''Journal of Barfoo''. '''5''':12. {{erratum|doi=10.1234/0123456789|checked=yes}}

If the errata affects the relevant material, then update the article accordingly before marking the erratum as checked.
The template works with citation templates too, for example
<pre>
*{{cite journal |last1=Gallouzi |first1=I. E. |last2=Brennan |first2=C. M. |last3=Steitz |first3=J. A. |title=Protein ligands mediate the CRM1-dependent export of HuR in response to heat shock |journal=RNA |date=September 2001 |volume=7 |issue=9 |pages=1348-61 |pmc=1370177 |pmid=11565755}} {{erratum|pmid=14561890|pmc=1287062|checked=yes}}</pre>
gives
*{{cite journal |last1=Gallouzi |first1=I. E. |last2=Brennan |first2=C. M. |last3=Steitz |first3=J. A. |title=Protein ligands mediate the CRM1-dependent export of HuR in response to heat shock |journal=RNA |date=September 2001 |volume=7 |issue=9 |pages=1348-61 |pmc=1370177 |pmid=11565755}} {{erratum|pmid=14561890|pmc=1287062|checked=yes}}


Do not use this template in the fields of citation templates such as {{cs1}} and {{cs2}}, as the HTML markup will be rendered in the metadata for that field.

==Cleanup and tracking categories==

Pages containing this template will be placed in the category [[:Category:Articles citing publications with errata]]. Pages containing unchecked errata will instead be placed in  [[:Category:Articles unintentionally citing publications with errata]].  Ideally this last category should be empty.
