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.
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 {}.

Not me. Listing a flawed ISBN is a disservice, if anything. Limn 18:44, 11 January 2007 (UTC) 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 -->.
Many Wikipedia articles have an International Standard Book Number (ISBN) alongside the bibliographical entry for each book. Clicking on the linked 10- or 13-digit number links to WP:Book sources . This shows whether the particular book is listed in a library catalogue, at WorldCat , at Google Books , at major booksellers, or at other websites.
This category is hidden on its member pages—unless the corresponding user preference (Appearance → Show hidden categories) is set.; These categories are used to track, build and organize lists of pages needing "attention en masse" (for example, pages using deprecated syntax), or that may need to be edited at someone's earliest convenience.

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.
