Thanks for that. It'll be useful for me because some time this week I will be making some rather drastic changes to one of the more important and widespread templates used on the wiki.

As a further related question, what is the wiki's policy on ISBNs? Currently we are listing ISBNs with both 10 digits and 13 digits. It is my understanding, that though 2 ISBNs with a different number of digits are listed for all of the volumes on Amazon and whatnot, the 10 digit ISBN is considered obsolete and the 13 digit ISBN is considered the global standard.

I've checked Wikipedia and other manga wikis and they all seem to be using a mix of both the 10 digit and 13 digit ISBNs.

Pre 2007, the 10 digit ones were the standard. From 2007 onwards, the 13 digit one is. Also, all 10 digit ISBNs can be converted into 13 digit ISBNs.

I want to completely remove all 10 digit ISBNs from the wiki.

What are your thoughts on this? Is there still a purpose for keeping 10 digit ISBNs on the wiki? Should I keep 10 digit ISBNs for all pre-2007 content?
