{{ISBN missing}} is an inline cleanup template flagging a broken source citation that is missing the ISBN of the cited source.
Usage[మార్చు]
{{ISBN missing|date=మే 2024}}
- With references in a Citation Style 1 template (
{{Cite web}},{{Cite book}},{{Citation}}, etc.):- Place
{{ISBN missing}}outside the citation template 
Do not place this template in the |isbn=parameter of a Citation Style 1 citation. The inclusion of text other than an ISBN in|isbn=corrupts the citation's COinS metadata and the citation's link to Special:BookSources.
- Place
- With a free-form reference citation, just append
{{ISBN missing}}to the end of the citation.
How to fix the problem flagged by this template[మార్చు]
Do not remove the template without fixing the problem one of the following ways.
- If you know the ISBN, fill in the needed information, and remove the template.
- For a template-formatted citation, add the ISBN
|ISBN=X-XXXX-XXXX-X
- For a free-form citation
- :
- Just add the ISBN as appropriate to the format of the citation; or...
- Better yet, convert the entire citation to {{Cite journal}}, {{Cite news}} or some other {{Cite}}-series template, as appropriate for the work in question.
- If you know that no ISBN was specified by the original source, as is common with older books, you have the following option.
- Explicitly state that the ISBN was unspecified:
|ISBN=<!-- ISBN unspecified -->(you must use HTML<!-- -->comment tags to hide the message from the citation processing software)
- For free-form citations:
No ISBN specified.
- Do not use question marks.
- Do not leave the information blank and untag it, or someone else will just come along later and flag this with {{ISBN missing}} again!
- Do not use
|ISBN=none,|ISBN=unknownor anything else vague; any implication other than that the source itself did not specify an ISBN is simply a signal to other editors to re-tag it with {{ISBN missing}}.
- Explicitly state that the ISBN was unspecified:
- If you don't know:
- Check the source, and add the necessary information, as above.
- Do not use question marks.
- If the source is a dead link, check archive.org for a backup copy (see your {{Citation}}/{{Cite}}-type template's documentation for use of
|archiveurl=and|archivedate=parameters). If no archive copy is available, use {{Dead link}} after the citation, but leave {{ISBN missing}} as well.
