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.
This template accepts three parameters; one unnamed and two named: |1= (unnamed parameter) – (required) the ISBN to be formatted |separator= – (optional) accepts one predefined keyword: space; when |separator=space, the rendered ISBN elements are separated using a space character; for any other value, this template renders with hyphen separators
The inclusion of text other than the digits of an ISBN in |isbn= corrupts the citation's COinS metadata and the citation's link to Special:BookSources. With a free-form reference, just append {{ISBN missing|date=December 2024}} to the end of the citation. With either method or format, it will render a [ISBN missing] inline note.

Entries with invalid ISBNs that are nonetheless printed in a book can be tagged with {{Listed Invalid ISBN}}. Also, if particular ISBNs in a list of ISBNs are known to be invalid, this can be indicated by providing corresponding invalid1=yes to invalid9=yes parameters in the {{ ISBN }} or {{ ISBNT }} templates.
OTOH, contributors with an ISBN from the book in their hand may feel obligated to add the ISBN to the article. Perhaps we could create a template {{Invalid ISBN|2-204-19850-9}} that results in <!-- Invalid ISBN: 2-204-19850-9 -->. Would that cause google searchs for the invalid ISBN to bring up the article?
