[edit] Template documentation
This documentation is transcluded from Template:ISBN/doc. (edit | history)

There is currently no consensus on where to place this template in an article.

The simplest way to add this template to an article is to copy and paste {{ISBN|date=June 2008}} at the bottom of the article.

[edit] Usage

Use this as a warning that some or all books cited do not have their ISBNs included in the article. Don't use this template to identify books that were never assigned ISBNs by their publishers at all (most books published before 1974 do not have ISBNs, though editions of earlier books published after that date should have).

Note that this template is not required for inserting an ISBN into an article; the Mediawiki software recognizes ISBNs automatically.

[edit] Entering ISBNs

This template is not for providing links for ISBNs.

Instead use, for example, ISBN 1413304540, ISBN 978-1-41-330454-1, ISBN 978-1413304541, or ISBN 9781413304541 without braces to produce the links to Special:Booksources for ISBN 1413304540, ISBN 978-1-41-330454-1, ISBN 978-1413304541, or ISBN 9781413304541.
