Category:CS1 errors: periodical ignored

It is used to build and maintain a list or lists of pages—primarily for the sake of the lists themselves and their use in article and category maintenance. It is not part of the encyclopedia's categorization scheme.

More information:

This category is hidden on its member pages—unless the corresponding user preference (Appearance → Show hidden categories) is set.
These categories are used to track, build and organize lists of pages needing "attention en masse" (for example, pages using deprecated syntax), or that may need to be edited at someone's earliest convenience.
These categories also serve to aggregate members of several lists or subcategories into a larger, more efficient list (discriminated by classifications).
Typically, tracking categories are automatically populated by templates invoked in pages or by the MediaWiki software (see Special:TrackingCategories for an overview of the latter).

Administrators: Please do not delete this category as empty!
This category may be empty occasionally or even most of the time.

This is a tracking category for CS1 citations that have unsupported |periodical= (or alias) errors.

|periodical= ignored

Citation Style 1 templates {{cite book}} and {{cite encyclopedia}} do not support |periodical= (and aliases |journal=, |magazine=, |newspaper=, |website=, |work=) and associated |script-periodical= and |trans-periodical= (and their aliases).

To resolve this error:

use a more appropriate citation template, or
most common: change |title= to |chapter= (or appropriate alias) and then change |periodical= to |title=, or
change |work= to |series= if |title= is the actual title of the book and |work= contains the name of a book series, or
change |work= to another appropriate parameter (it has been used to hold values for |publisher=, |editor=, |via=, and more), or
move the content of the |periodical= parameter out of the template, before the closing </ref>, or
delete the |periodical= parameter
