The ISBN may have been incorrectly labelled invalid, but we have (to our surprise) found several examples where the publisher has put an invalid number on the book (see talk page for examples). Note that just because a number has not been identified as invalid, it doesn't mean it corresponds to the book in question, or indeed any book.
The template takes as argument a valid ISBN and yields the formatted version of that ISBN.

Some ISBNs may still have been printed correctly elsewhere in the same book or corrected in later editions; if further research shows that to be the case (and that the new ISBN still refers to an edition with the same information on the same pages), then the invalid# parameter should be moved or {{Listed Invalid ISBN}} should be replaced with {}.
An ISBN can be included in templates such as the Citation Style 1 series by means of the |isbn= parameter. The linking is done internally to the template using a module or a subtemplate. The "ISBN" string links to the article " International Standard Book Number ", and the ISBN itself links to Special:BookSources .
