Template documentationThis template produces a simple, standardized link from a Standard Book Number (SBN). The SBN is rendered using much of the same code that renders |SBN= in Citation Style 1 and Citation Style 2 templates except that this template can be used to render multiple SBNs.
Usage
This template accepts these parameters:
|idn=– a SBN identifier; the|idn=parameter name is not required but is recommended for clarity when the template has multiple SBNs|link=– accepts a single valueno; for use when the 'SBN' prefix in the rendering should not be linked|plainlink=– accepts a single valueyes; suppresses the 'SBN' prefix in the rendering|leadout=– defines the conjunction between the last two identifiers in the rendered list; defaults to,
The basic form is:
{{SBN|340-01381-8}}→ SBN 340-01381-8
For multiple SBNs:
{{SBN|340-01381-8|340-01381-8|340-01381-8}}→ SBN 340-01381-8, 340-01381-8, 340-01381-8
To unlink the prefix:
{{SBN|340-01381-8|link=no}}→ SBN 340-01381-8
To suppress the prefix:
{{SBN|340-01381-8|plainlink=yes}}→ 340-01381-8
To use and between the last two identifiers in the rendered list:
{{SBN|340-01381-8|340-01381-8|340-01381-8|leadout=and}}→ SBN 340-01381-8, 340-01381-8 and 340-01381-8
When this template emits an error message for a valid (working) SBN, use the accept-as-written markup ((..)) to suppress the error message.
{{SBN|340-01381-0}}→ SBN 340-01381-0{{sbn}}: Checksbnvalue: checksum (help){{SBN|((340-01381-0))}}→ SBN 340-01381-0{{sbn}}: ignored ISBN errors (link)
Tracking categories
- Category:Ignored ISBN errors – maintenance category for
{{SBN}}templates using the accept-as-written markup((..))to suppress an error message – shared with{{ISBN}} - Category:Pages with SBN 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.
