Usage

Use this template to create a magic link for an International Standard Book Number without the "ISBN" prefix as usually required. 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

Normally, the 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 magic 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.
