Template:Infobox journal is permanently protected from editing because it is a heavily used or highly visible template. Substantial changes should first be proposed and discussed here on this page. If the proposal is uncontroversial or has been discussed and is supported by consensus, editors may use {{edit template-protected}} to notify an administrator or template editor to make the requested edit. Usually, any contributor may edit the template's documentation to add usage notes or categories.

Any contributor may edit the template's sandbox. Functionality of the template can be checked using test cases.

Headquarters

There should be an entry option in the infobox for the location of the headquarters, I think. Keystone18 (talk) 22:32, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A journal's publisher's editorial offices are really not an important thing in the least. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 02:00, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And major publishers (and even many minor ones) have offices all over the world, without necessarily mentioning which office handles which journal... --Randykitty (talk) 12:59, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How might we use Wikidata for the website parameter?

Today I successfully used Template:Official website in an article's external links, but failed to implement Template:Official URL in this template. Am I doing it wrong, or does the template need an update to support Wikidata for the website? KarenJoyce (talk) 17:20, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm no big fan of using Wikidata for anything, let alone for something as important as an official website. WD is riddled with errors and an easy prey for vandals. --Randykitty (talk) 17:29, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

ISSN worldcat links are currently broken

The ISSN worldcat links are currently broken, e.g. in the current edit of JHA the infobox lines | ISSN = 0021-8286 | eISSN = 1753-8556 currently give https://search.worldcat.org/search?fq=x0:jrnl&q=n2:0021-8286 and https://search.worldcat.org/search?fq=x0:jrnl&q=n2:1753-8556 which state Oops, something went wrong | WorldCat.org We are unable to connect to this page, please try again. instead of e.g. https://portal.issn.org/resource/ISSN/0021-8286 and https://portal.issn.org/resource/ISSN/1753-8556, which are valid links.

Works for me Maybe it's a temporary server glitch? --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 12:27, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've been getting the same error for months. Sometimes the page loads results just fine, and sometimes it loads results and then is replaced by an error message. It may be browser-dependent. It's a strange problem. – Jonesey95 (talk) 22:16, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
