| − | The MediaWiki software automatically recognizes inline [[Wikipedia:ISBN|ISBN]]s. For example, the wikitext <nowiki>ISBN 0-12-345678-9</nowiki> becomes ISBN 0-12-345678-9 (the dashes are optional), which corresponds to [[Special:Booksources/isbn=0123456789]]. This creates a link to a special page on book sources, where readers can obtain more information about getting a copy of that particular book.

| − | This function may be useful in helping users to determine which book(s) were used as references for a specific article, and because it provides links to various online bookstores. However, ISBNs only identify a specific edition of a book, and the reader will not see the full range of the versions of the book for sale. Therefore, ''do not'' use ISBNs alone as a means of identifying books; add a ''full'' and proper citation in addition to the ISBN.
