Template:ISBNT/doc

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Usage[change]

Use this template when the normal method for entering ISBNs (see below) would be repetitive or redundant. Examples would be a table with a column of ISBNs.

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

Entering ISBNs[change]

Normally simply type ISBN before the number with no spaces or colons. Hyphens are not required, but are preferred if their proper placement is known.

  • ISBN 1413304540   produces ISBN 1413304540
  • ISBN 1-4133-0454-0   produces ISBN 1-4133-0454-0
  • ISBN 9781413304541   produces ISBN 9781413304541
  • ISBN 978-1413304541   produces ISBN 978-1413304541
  • 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.

  • {{ISBNT|1-4133-0454-0}}   produces 1-4133-0454-0
  • {{ISBNT|978-1-4133-0454-1}}   produces 978-1-4133-0454-1


If the type of ISBN must be specified, the ISBN-10 and ISBN-13 templates may be used.
