Summary: Adding support for Article Numbers to cite core beyond ISBN and being able to subdivide it by region Product: MediaWiki Version: unspecified Platform: All URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:Cite_video_ game#Revamp_of_cite_video_games_template OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: Normal Component: Templates AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org ReportedBy: lord.god.jin...@gmail.com This was specifically brought up by issues with the video game template which uses Japanese Article Number (JAN), or should for quality articles, in almost every article for a video game. Many of the rest (including a lot of overlap) use Universal Product Code (UPC) and a few European Article Number (EAN). Newer JAN and EAN are comparable and under the same division of Internal Article Numbers (IAN), but not older ones. Unlike ISBN, even though they are under the larger IAN umbrella, they are still refered to by the original numbering sequence, JAN and EAN. UPC is also suppose to be computable with this, except 12-numbers instead of 13. Furthermore, unlike isbn these also may have more varied codes, like shorter sequences for smaller products that cannot fit the code or specialized products like magazines which need more info. Generally the code would need to figure out what the country of origin is based on the id for assigning whether it was JAN, EAN, UPC or another (see http://www.gs1.org/barcodes/support/prefix_list for prefix info). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
