Template:ISBN

Usage

This template accepts these parameters:

|idn= – a ISBN identifier; the |idn= parameter name is not required but is recommended for clarity when the template has multiple ISBNs

|link= – accepts a single value no; for use when the 'ISBN' prefix in the rendering should not be linked

|plainlink= – accepts a single value yes; suppresses the 'ISBN' prefix in the rendering

|leadout= – defines the conjunction between the last two identifiers in the rendered list; defaults to ,

The basic form is:

{{ISBN|0-7475-3269-9}} → ISBN 0-7475-3269-9

For multiple ISBNs:

{{ISBN|978-1-4133-0454-1|978-1-4133-0454-1|978-1-4133-0454-1}} → ISBN 978-1-4133-0454-1, 978-1-4133-0454-1, 978-1-4133-0454-1

To unlink the prefix:

{{ISBN|0-7475-3269-9|link=no}} → ISBN 0-7475-3269-9

To suppress the prefix:

{{ISBN|0-7475-3269-9|plainlink=yes}} → 0-7475-3269-9

To use and between the last two identifiers in the rendered list:

{{ISBN|978-1-4133-0454-1|978-1-4133-0454-1|978-1-4133-0454-1|leadout=and}} → ISBN 978-1-4133-0454-1, 978-1-4133-0454-1 and 978-1-4133-0454-1

When this template emits an error message for a valid (working) ISBN, use the accept-as-written markup ((..)) to suppress the error message.

{{ISBN|1-4133-0451-0}} → ISBN 1-4133-0451-0 {{isbn}}: Check isbn value: checksum (help)

{{ISBN|((1-4133-0451-0))}} → ISBN 1-4133-0451-0 {{isbn}}: ignored ISBN errors (link)

Tracking categories

• Category:Ignored ISBN errors – maintenance category for {{ISBN}} templates using the accept-as-written markup ((..)) to suppress an error message – shared with {{ISBN}}
• Category:Pages with ISBN errors – error category for {{ISBN}} templates that show an error message

Because this template uses the same code as cs1|2 templates, error and maintenance visibility is controlled the same way. See Help:CS1 errors § Controlling error message display.
