Template:ISBNT/doc
| 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. |
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
Normally, a 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.
