Template:ISBNT
Usage
[change source]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 source]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.
- {{ISBN-10|1-4133-0454-0}} produces ISBN-10: 1-4133-0454-0
- {{ISBN-13|978-1-4133-0454-1}} produces ISBN-13: 978-1-4133-0454-1
