{{editprotected}}
Please add this to the search page somewhere:
- Spaces and dashes in the ISBN number do not matter. The number starts after the colon for "ISBN-10:" and "ISBN-13:" numbers.
For more info please see the first few paragraphs of:

- OK, I'm not entirely sure about this (MediaWiki pages are tricky and variable), but since I probably don't have to worry about whether the page uses wikicode (using equivalent code that avoids that problem) and it can be reverted, I'll attempt changing the content to
<span class="mw-booksources-isbn"><span style="font-style:italic">Spaces and dashes in the ISBN number do not matter. The number starts after the colon for "ISBN-10:" and "ISBN-13:" numbers.</span><br />ISBN:</span>
- which will hopefully have the desired result. I might end up reverting myself if the desired change doesn't work quite right, which is quite possible. Nihiltres{t.l} 15:46, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
The contents of this page are used just as descriptive text for the input box. The message can be put at MediaWiki:Booksources-summary. I made the change. — Carl (CBM · talk) 16:02, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks. You guys are fast! It is now a lot clearer at Special:Booksources. --Timeshifter (talk) 00:36, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
Find This Book edit
One of the library find this book links needs changing. The library has changed it search engine location. For the National Library of Australia catalogue:
- The current (non-working) link would look like Find this Book
- The correct working link should be Find this Book
Can this be updated? Lantrix ::Talk::Contrib:: 03:19, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

- Thanks. I ended up updating quite a few outdated searches for ISBN in Australian Libraries. Lantrix ::Talk::Contrib:: 07:50, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
