සැකිල්ල:Isotopes summary/doc

The master template provides an {{Isotopes summary}} table. It is designed to be used in element article sections, like Roentgenium#Isotopes.

Usage

This template is used in the articles for superheavy elements to produce the sortable lists of isotopes. It was created to simplify formatting and standardize references. For each isotope, a row {{isotopes summary/isotope}} is to be added.

The template {{notelist}} is required on any pages that use this template.

Parameters

Main template (table body)

{{Isotopes summary
|symbol      =
|element     =
|year_ref    =
|reaction_ref=
|isotopes= <!-- tablerow subtemplates, see below -->
  {{Isotopes summary/isotope
  |mn=
  |sym=
  |hl=
  |ref=
  |dm=
  |year=
  |re=
  }}<!-- repeat for each isotope -->
}}

Explanation of main template parameters

Parameter	Description	Notes
|element=	The name of the element	in lowercase
|symbol=	symbol	not used
|year_ref=	Reference for the "Discovery year" column	No default
|reaction_ref=	Reference for the "Discovery reaction" column	No default

Isotopes parameter

Use {{Isotopes summary/isotope}} to create one row for each isotope in the table.

|mn=
|sym=
|hl=
|ref=
|dm=
|year=
|re=

Explanation of sub-template parameters

Parameter	Description	Notes
|mn=	Isotope mass number
|sym=	Element symbol
|hl=	Most recently published half-life. Values are from {{NUBASE2016}} unless a paper published in 2015 or later gives a different value.	Use {{sort}} to assign sortable values. Do not include unknown isotopes. (i.e. those with no discovery year listed)
|ref=	Reference for the half-life column.	Add as a footnote (<ref></ref>).
|dm=	Decay modes	There can be multiple separated with commas.
|year=	Discovery year	Citation already in table header.
|re=	Synthesis reaction	Written the same as in normal tables or article text. Citation already in table header.

Sample use

{{Isotopes summary
|element=tennessine
|year_ref=<ref name=nubase /> <!--not fully included here, but a normal citation-->
<!-- |reaction_ref= not included, so the default value is used -->
|isotopes= <!--add one sub-template for each isotope-->
{{isotopes summary/isotope
|mn=293
|sym=Ts
|ref=<ref name=shesummary /> <!--not fully included here, but a normal citation-->
|nubase={{sort|00021|21 ms}}
|dm=α
|year=2010
|re=<sup>249</sup>Bk(<sup>48</sup>Ca,4n)
}}
<!-- new template, new row-->
{{isotopes summary/isotope
|mn=294
|sym=Ts
|hl={{sort|00051|51 ms}}
|ref=<ref name=shesummary />
|dm=α
|year=2010
|re=<sup>249</sup>Bk(<sup>48</sup>Ca,3n)
}}
}}

produces the following:

List of tennessine isotopes

Isotope	Half-life		Decay mode	Discovery year	Discovery reaction
	Value	ref
293Ts	00022 !22 ms		α	2010	249Bk(48Ca,4n)
294Ts	00051 !51 ms		α	2010	249Bk(48Ca,3n)
