{{ISBN/doc/identifier link information}}

This template produces a simple, standardized link from a [[International Standard Serial Number]] (ISSN).  The ISSN is rendered using much of the same code that renders {{para|issn}} in {{cs1}} and {{cs2}} templates except that this template can be used to render multiple ISSNs.

== Usage ==
This template accepts these parameters:
:{{para|id{{var|n}}}} – a ISSN identifier; the {{para|id{{var|n}}}} parameter name is not required but is recommended for clarity when the template has multiple ISSNs
:{{para|link}} – accepts a single value <code>no</code>; for use when the 'ISSN' prefix in the rendering should not be linked
:{{para|plainlink}} – accepts a single value <code>yes</code>; suppresses the 'ISSN' prefix in the rendering
:{{para|leadout}} – defines the conjunction between the last two identifiers in the rendered list; defaults to <code>, </code>
The basic form is:
:<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline="1">{{ISSN|0028-0836}}</syntaxhighlight> → {{ISSN|0028-0836}}
For multiple ISSNs:
:<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline="1">{{ISSN|0028-0836|0028-0836|0028-0836}}</syntaxhighlight> → {{ISSN|0028-0836|0028-0836|0028-0836}}
To unlink the prefix:
:<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline="1">{{ISSN|0028-0836|link=no}}</syntaxhighlight> → {{ISSN|0028-0836|link=no}}
To suppress the prefix:
:<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline="1">{{ISSN|0028-0836|plainlink=yes}}</syntaxhighlight> → {{ISSN|0028-0836|plainlink=yes}}
To use <code>and</code> between the last two identifiers in the rendered list:
:<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline="1">{{ISSN|0028-0836|0028-0836|0028-0836|leadout=and}}</syntaxhighlight> → {{ISSN|0028-0836|0028-0836|0028-0836|leadout=and}}
When this template emits an error message for a valid (working) ISSN, use the accept-as-written markup <code>((..))</code> to suppress the error message.
:<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline="1">{{ISSN|1028-0836}}</syntaxhighlight> → {{ISSN|1028-0836}}
:<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline="1">{{ISSN|((1028-0836))}}</syntaxhighlight> → {{ISSN|((1028-0836))}}

==Tracking categories==
*{{cl|Ignored ISSN errors}} – {{color|#18911f|maintenance}} category for {{tld|ISSN}} templates using the accept-as-written markup <code>((..))</code> to suppress an error message
*{{cl|Pages with ISSN errors}} – {{color|#d33|error}} category for {{tld|ISSN}} templates that show an error message

Because this template uses the same code as cs1|2 templates, {{color|#d33|error}} and {{color|#18911f|maintenance}} visibility is controlled the same way.  See {{slink|Help:CS1_errors|Controlling_error_message_display}}.
