This template uses Module:Check isxn to validate the ISBN. If the ISBN is not valid, this subtemplate will still generate the link, and it will add the article to Category:Pages with ISBN errors. Since invalid ISBNs are sometimes used in publications, it is possible to disable the validity check for individual ISBNs given as parameters.
