Note that the ISBN hyphenation rule-base is a living document. This is a maintenance category of articles with invalid ISBNs. It is often included by means of the template {{Please check ISBN}}. If you fix an ISBN please remove the template or category from the article. Many article/ISBN problems are listed at WikiProject Check Wikipedia.
For example | isbn = {{Listed Invalid ISBN|123-456-7890-123}} is incorrect use. Usage This template should only be used in limited cases when an editor knows that the International Standard Book Number (ISBN) printed in a source publication is invalid.
OTOH, contributors with an ISBN from the book in their hand may feel obligated to add the ISBN to the article.

For example, ISBN 0-590-76484-5 is shared by two books—Ninja gaiden: a novel based on the best-selling game by Tecmo (1990) and Wacky laws (1997), both published by Scholastic. Most libraries and booksellers display the book record for an invalid ISBN issued by the publisher.
