 | This template should not be used in citation templates such as Citation Style 1 and Citation Style 2, because it includes markup that will pollute the COinS metadata they produce; see Wikipedia:COinS. |
Usage edit
This template is used to mark an International Standard Music Number (ISMN) that may not be valid. For example:
{{ISMN|1234-56789}} {{Please check ISMN}}
The template does not produce any visible change to the article (unless the article is viewed in preview mode):
ISMN 1234-56789 Parameter error in {{ISMN}}: Invalid ISMN.
Rather, it adds the article to the hidden maintenance/tracking category: Category:Articles with invalid ISMNs.
In preview mode, it shows the warning message (Warning: Check ISMN). This warning is shown only in preview mode.
Parameters edit
The optional parameter |reason= simply provides a comment to explain why the ISSN may not be valid. For example:
{{ISMN|1234-56789}} {{Please check ISMN|reason=Too few digits}}
