| 40px | This is a documentation subpage for Template:ISBN missing. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
| Notice | This template should not be used in citation templates such as Citation Style 1 and Citation Style 2, because it includes markup that will pollute the COinS metadata they produce; see Wikipedia:COinS. |
| 40x40px | This template should not be substituted. |
{{ISBN missing}} is an inline cleanup template for flagging a reference that is missing the International Standard Book Number (ISBN) of the source document.
Usage
{{ISBN missing|date=March 2026}}
- With a reference formatted via a Citation Style 1 template (
{{Cite web}},{{Cite book}},{{Citation}}, etc.):
- Place
{{ISBN missing|date=March 2026}}outside the citation template - Template:Warnsign
- Place
- With a free-form reference, just append
{{ISBN missing|date=March 2026}}to the end of the citation.
How to fix the problem flagged by this template
Do not remove the {{ISBN missing}} template without fixing the problem in one of the following ways:
- Determine the ISBN, add it to the reference, then remove the {{ISBN missing}} template
- For a reference formatted via a Citation Style 1 template, use its ISBN paramter:
|isbn=X-XXXX-XXXX-X
- For a free-form reference:
- Add the ISBN as appropriate to the citation, or...
- Better yet, convert the citation to a Citation Style 1 template.
- If you are certain that the source document does not have an ISBN, add a {{No ISBN}} template to the reference, then remove the {{ISBN missing}} template
- For a reference formatted via a Citation Style 1 template:
- 1. Use its ISBN paramter to state explicitly that the ISBN does not exist:
|isbn=<!-- ISBN unspecified -->(you must use HTML<!-- -->comment tags to hide the message from the citation processing software)
- 2. Place
{{No ISBN}}outside the citation template
- 1. Use its ISBN paramter to state explicitly that the ISBN does not exist:
- For free-form reference, just add
{{No ISBN}}to the end of the citation.
If you remove the {{ISBN missing}} template without fixing the problem in one of the above ways, someone else will come along later and flag the reference with {{ISBN missing}} again!
