Template documentation[ view] [ ] [ history] [ purge]

This template contains the table header and table footer of the large isotopes table (ca. 12 columns. See for example Isotopes of uranium § List of isotopes). The individual rows (one for each isotope) are not by template.

Usage

The template provides a standardised table header for a List of isotopes, as is used in each of the 118 Isotopes of <element> articles. Parameters allow for adjustment of the table header structure, references and table footnotes. This header does not change existing rows: values, isotope-specific footnotes, structure, nor split decay routes {2019-06}.

The parameters are

|symbol= William do various settings, including appropriate natural abundance column headers

|refs= will add an inline reference(s) for any 2016 data update. E.g., {{NUBASE2016}}

|notes= will add multiple footnotes, mostly notational clarifications (like for "^m", "SF"), and optional column headers like "Historical name"

The table is closed by adding {{Isotopes table/footer}}. General appearance in source:

{{Isotopes table
|symbol=He
|refs=NUBASE2016, AME2016 II
|notes=histname, mass#, daughter-nst, CD, SF
}}
|-
| <!-- (table row with single isotope) -->
