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/?title=Special:Search&search={{{search}}}&fulltext=Search Wikipedia <sub>([//en.wikipedia.org/?title=Special:Search&search={{{search}}}+journal&fulltext=Search J·[//en.wikipedia.org/?title=Special:Search&search={{{search}}}+magazine&fulltext=Search M·[//en.wikipedia.org/?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.

Here are a few more misspellings that I've fixed in significant numbers recently and may recur:
- American Association of Cancer Research → American Association for Cancer Research
- American Journal of Kidney Disease → American Journal of Kidney Diseases
- The American Journal of Medical Sciences → The American Journal of the Medical Sciences
- Archeological Institute of America → Archaeological Institute of America
- Journal of American Medical Association → Journal of the American Medical Association (aka JAMA)
- PsychINFO → PsycINFO
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:
- Architect's Journal → Architects' Journal
- Bilboard → Billboard (magazine)
- Book of Revelations → Book of Revelation
- Encyclopedia Britannica → Encyclopædia Britannica (also available as Brittannica, Britanica, etc., with e or æ)
- imbd (various capitalisations) → IMDb (but beware of International Migratory Bird Day)
- The Mechanic's Magazine → The Mechanics' Magazine
- National Registry of Historic Places → National Register of Historic Places
- The New India Express → The New Indian Express (also without "The")
- The Philadelphia Enquirer → The Philadelphia Inquirer (also without "The")
- Wallstreet Journal → The Wall Street Journal
- Yahoo News! → Yahoo! News
...and a few relevant publishers
- Bibliothèque National de France → Bibliothèque nationale de France
- Harper Collins → HarperCollins
- Simon & Shuster ⇒ Simon & Schuster (also with "and")
- Weidenfeld & Nicholson → Weidenfeld & Nicolson

- @
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.

- 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)
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)
seem to be missing particle "search?" in the URL, e.g.:
- wrong: https://www.google.com/webhp#hl=en&q=%22The%20NamesforLife%20Abstracts%22+-wikipedia
- right: https://www.google.com/search?&q=%22The%20NamesforLife%20Abstracts%22+-wikipedia

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)
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! Johnson 524 16:09, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
- 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)
