Hi! I noticed an apparent bug with Helpful Pixie Bot:
Task
[edit]ISBNs (Build J9)
Example(s)
[edit]- http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Loratadine&diff=next&oldid=481941483
- http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Insulin_glulisine&diff=490877261&oldid=488506409
Explanation
[edit]Adding {{Please check ISBN}} inside a {{cite book}} seems to break the latter – see refs 4 and 5 in the first of the example links. And there's a typo in the output, "deos" instead of "does". BTW, the ISBN the bot flagged is actually in the book. What should be done in such cases? --ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 06:54, 8 May 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for logging a bug.
- Looking into the best solution.
- The typo is corrected a few builds back.
- Amazon gives 3-85200-183-8 although being 2007 and later the 13 digit number 978-3-85200-183-8 should be used.

- OK I had a think and maybe ISBN 3-85200-181-1 / ISBN 978-3-85200-181-4 volume 1 (A-C) and ISBN 3-85200-183-8 / ISBN 978-3-85200-183-8 is the complete work or vice versa. I'm guessing that ISBN 978-3-85200-181-4 got converted to the invalid ISBN 3-85200-181-4 Parameter error in {{ISBN}}: checksum somewhere along the line. So I'm going to put ISBN 978-3-85200-181-4. Do, of course, change it if I'm wrong. Rich Farmbrough, 08:04, 8 May 2012 (UTC).
- I suppose ISBN 978-3-85200-181-4 is correct; the 183 number is the Stoffliste = "List of substances", an index to accompany the Austria-Codex. --ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 08:30, 8 May 2012 (UTC)
- Ah, I see. I thought that was a subtitle for the whole work. Good, all cleared up then. Rich Farmbrough, 08:35, 8 May 2012 (UTC).
- I am also fixing the remaining mis-spellings. I have to do this slowly, though. Rich Farmbrough, 09:07, 8 May 2012 (UTC).
