Mathias Schindler <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #1 from Mathias Schindler <[email protected]> 2009-09-06 20:48:29 UTC --- I would like to point out to a more recent feature at the German language Wikipedia for this particular problem. http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benutzer:Mathias_Schindler/Buchsuche is a list of the most commonly referenced books in de.wp as identified by its ISBN (without merging ISBN-10 and -13). Thanks to the MediaWiki support for templates, we can use a template called BibISBN to create bibliographic references just by using the template and one parameter. {{BibISBN|0801857899}} will result in Ronald M. Nowak: Walker’s mammals of the world. 6. Auflage. Johns Hopkins University Press, Baltimore 1999, ISBN 0-8018-5789-9. Additionally, http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spezial:ISBN-Suche/0801857899 will show a few fields of this record at the ISBN search special page. The full record, which might contain more specific data, for example a LoC control number or a Google Book Search-ID, is shown at http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vorlage:BibISBN/0801857899. Data on this page is stored in a template called BibRecord. http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bambi_%28Film%29&diff=prev&oldid=64211753 is a version diff of this feature in action. The former version was the German edition of the cite_book template, the current one is the BibISBN template. The output is the same, the redundancy is gone. BibISBN supports parameters to identify specific pages or to add comments. It can be wrapped in the {{q}} template for footnoting. COinS support is already included. The output can be customized for localized citation rules. In the medium run, adding more sub pages for each ISBN is not the best option, but frankly, the BibISBN template itself doesn't care where the data is coming from and the user cares about the functionality itself and the quality of the reference. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
