This is a tracking category for CS1 citations that have Vancouver style errors.
Vancouver style error: <type> in name <number>
This error is reported for citations that use |vauthors=, |veditors=, |name-list-style=vanc.
Vancouver style restricts author or editor names to the Latin alphabet. For the purposes of this test, Module:Citation/CS1 defines the Latin alphabet as the letters defined in the Unicode Latin character sets:
- C0 Controls and Basic Latin[1] (0041–005A, 0061–007A)
- C1 Controls and Latin-1 Supplement[2] (00C0–00D6, 00D8–00F6, 00F8–00FF)
- Latin Extended-A[3] (0100–017F)
- Latin Extended-B[4] (0180–01BF, 01C4–024F)
This error is also reported when more than two initials are used: in case of more than two initials, list only the first two.
This error is also reported when a corporate or institutional author is listed in |vauthors= without proper delimiters. Corporate authors should be listed this way:
|vauthors=First Surname FM, Surname AB, ((Corporate or institutional Author)), Last Surname XY
While normally correct, sometimes the names listed on a PMID page contain errors when the author surname has a lowercase nobiliary particle. For example, Template:PMID lists Magnus von Knebel Doeberitz as Doeberitz Mv which is not correct. This author's name should be listed as |vauthors=von Knebel Doeberitz M.[5]
Certain punctuation will be flagged as an error. For example, Unicode U+2019, right single quotation mark, causes an error because it is not a member of the Latin character sets identified above: |vauthors=Van’t Veer M. Replace this character with the straight (or typewriter) apostrophe: |vauthors=Van't Veer M.
To resolve this error, Romanize author and editor names.[6] Romanizing can result in two-letter initials, for example, the Greek letter 'Θ' Romanizes to 'Th'.[7] When author names have this kind of initial, Module:Citation/CS1 can't know if this kind of initial is a typo or a legitimate Romanized character so it will emit the Vancouver error. To suppress the error after determining that the two-character initial is correct and not a typo, treat the name as if it were a corporate name by wrapping it in doubled parentheses: |vauthors=..., Tatarinov IuS, ... → |vauthors=..., ((Tatarinov IuS)), ...
Similarly, Chinese hyphenated given names may appear in PubMed listings. For example: 'Wang Hsien-yu' may be listed on PubMed as 'Wang Hy' which will result in a Vancouver error. When this occurs, and upon verification that such names are correct, wrap them in doubled parentheses.
Specific rules for names:[8]
- Surnames with hyphens and other punctuation in them
- Other surname rules
- Given names containing punctuation, a prefix, a preposition, or particle
- Degrees, titles, and honors before or after a personal name
- Designations of rank within a family, such as Jr and III
- Names appearing in non-roman alphabets (Cyrillic, Greek, Arabic, Hebrew, Korean) or character-based languages (Chinese, Japanese)
- Organizations as author
- CS1|2 does not obey the semicolon-as-separator rule. Separate corporate and organizational names from each other and from individual names with a comma; wrap corporate and organizational names in doubled parentheses as described above.
Pages with this error are automatically placed in Category:CS1 errors: Vancouver style.[a]
