Template:Infobox isotopes (meta)/doc

This infobox contains the table of , and the. For example, Infobox uranium isotopes, as used on page Isotopes of uranium.

The main isotopes table is reused in the regular Infobox: Infobox uranium.

Main isotopes table

 * Isotopes/main/table/doc

The Main isotopes table is build by entering one template for each isotope-row.


 * For all code and formatted input: when not recognised, the input is shows as-is (unedited).

abundance, half-life trace, synthetic, stable by keyboard code

 * Parameters na, hl can handle simple keyboard code input. This simplifies typing:
 * na, hl.
 * na will link &rarr; synth
 * See also: percentage abundance, below.
 * When not recognised, the input is shows as-is (unedited).

decay mode (&beta;{{sup|&minus;}}&beta;{{sup|&minus;}}) by keyboard code

 * Decay modes dm1–4 can be entered as keyboard code:
 * dm1 (instead of ), will show β+β+.
 * Also, to wikilink:
 * dm1 &rarr; β+β+.


 * When not recognised, the input is shows as-is (unedited).


 * basic dm1–4 code rules
 * &alpha; &larr; a, &beta; &larr; b, &gamma; &larr; g, &epsilon; &larr; e
 * Note: plain Latin letter e used in "e+" only. (No confusion with "ee" for &epsi;&epsi;/ee).


 * x+, x&minus; &larr; + &minus; (superscript = inline)
 * - &minus; – - (keyboard hyphen = minus)
 * Aa: keep uppercase: SF &larr; SF (sf)

percentage abundance, decay mode formatting

 * Half-life time: usually to format{{para|1=hl|2= $7.6 y$} }} &rarr;$7.6 y$. Do not link the unit.
 * Percentage input na, perc1, perc2, perc3, perc4
 * No need for, plain "12.34%" will do.
 * The number willbe rounded to 3 sigfig.
 * When dm-% 0.003%, then formatted as "<0.01%".
 * When dm-% 2.7e-12, then formatted as "&#x226A;0.01%".


 * To evade this rule, use : na (e.g., hydrogen)


 * Do not add uncertainties "(5)" or "&plusmn;0.3"

add reference

 * USe dedicated reference parameters:
 * &lt;ref>... in column header
 * yes/no adds NUBASE2020 in column header
 * ref per isotope
 * ref per decay mode

Do not add reference with input value: dm1=&alpha;&lt;ref>..&lt;/ref>

Standard atomic weight
The Infobox contains the table of Main Isotopes (more below), and the standard atomic weight (as published by CIAAW, see Infobox element/symbol-to-saw/CIAAW-saw-element-page.

what's new

 * Mar 2023
 * Main usually refers to Main isotopes (not mainspace, not main-article about ..)


 * isobox ref depr, repl ref-table, position=top table TODO check when child
 * yes/no (aka ref-NUBASE2020)  NUBASE2020 named! ref tag! dflt

usage
This is the Infobox for an elements main isotopes. The meta-templatee is Infobox isotopes (meta)

It contains a table of main isotopes and eventually the standard atomic weight.

This template is reused in  as a child Infobox (yes).

, a 'Main isotope' is conforming MOS:MAINISOTOPE (under construction, see WP:ELEMENTS What is a "Main_isotope"?)

Each isotope has its own row, with decay modes:
 * Table used in Infobox element

Isotope decay example

 * more parameters used

Standard atomic weight
For stable elements, the formal standard atomic weight (s.a.w.) is added, as published by CIAAW. When the s.a.w. is in interval-notation, its conventional value is added too. Data is retrieved from central s.a.w. values lists, formatting is by Infobox element/standard atomic weight format (same as infobox element). Example:
