| This is a documentation subpage for Template:ISBNT. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
| This template uses Lua: |
Usage
Use this template to create a link to Special:BookSources for an International Standard Book Number without the usual "ISBN" prefix. For example, in a table with a column labelled "ISBN", it would be redundant to write "ISBN" before every International Standard Book Number in the column.
Entering ISBNs
An ISBN "magic link" is automatically created by typing "ISBN", a space, and the digits of the International Standard Book Number. Example:
- ISBN 978-1-4133-0454-1 produces ISBN 978-1-4133-0454-1
In tables (or other applications) where the letters "ISBN" would be redundant, this ISBNT template may be used instead, and the link still gets created automatically:
- {{ISBNT|1-4133-0454-0}} produces 1-4133-0454-0
- {{ISBNT|978-1-4133-0454-1}} produces 978-1-4133-0454-1
Error checking
This template uses Module:Check isxn to validate the ISBN. If the ISBN is not valid, this subtemplate will still generate the link, and it will add the article to Category:Pages with ISBN errors.
