| File:Stop hand nuvola.svg | This template should not be used in citation templates such as Citation Style 1 and Citation Style 2, because it may cause display errors. For example | isbn = {{Listed Invalid ISBN|123-456-7890-123}} is incorrect use. |
Usage
[edit source]This template should only be used in limited cases when an editor knows that the International Standard Book Number (ISBN) printed in a source publication is invalid. Invalid ISBNs are often cataloged by library databases, so they can be useful in locating sources, even though they are technically invalid.
The template creates a link to Special:BookSources for the invalid ISBN, and the template prevents Checkwiki from including the invalid ISBN in its error listings.
If a later edition of the source publication has a suitable, valid ISBN, please use it instead.
Usages of this template are tracked using Category:Ignored ISBN errors.
