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 link is created by using the {{ISBN}} template with 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:

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.
