Different languages use different terms for ISBN. In Persian, شابک is used, and in Arabic, ردمك is used. It would be great if "ISBN" could be translated so a phrase like this would be linked on wikis with Persian content language:
شابک 964-000-000-1
Version: 1.13.x
Severity: enhancement
I changed the summary to reflect that we have three hardcoded magic words: ISBN, RFC, PMID
Any comments on this? How about using wrapper templates for those? I don't like the idea of introducing more magic words of this kind.
I'm leaning to wontfix if nobody opposes. Plain-word magic words are competing in the same area of interwiki links and wrapper templates.
Lets fix this. This ticket has been used as an excuse to remove the functionality form the English Wikipedia among other places, riding roughshod over the wishes of the community. That is assuming other scripts don't just insert "ISBN" - which I have seen very often.
Something like this:
isbn
= prefix:( 'ISBN' / 'شابک' / 'ردمك' ) sp:space_or_nbsp+ isbn:(
[0-9]
(s:space_or_nbsp_or_dash &[0-9] { return s; } / [0-9])+
((space_or_nbsp_or_dash / "") [xX] / "")
) isbncode:(
end_of_word
{
// Convert isbn token-and-entity array to stripped string.
return tu.flattenStringlist(isbn).filter(function(e) {
return e.constructor === String;
}).join('').replace(/[^\dX]/ig, '').toUpperCase();
}
) &{
// ISBNs can only be 10 or 13 digits long (with a specific format)
return isbncode.length === 10 ||
(isbncode.length === 13 && /^97[89]/.test(isbncode));
} {
const tsr = tsrOffsets();
return [
new SelfclosingTagTk('extlink', [
new KV('href', 'Special:BookSources/' + isbncode),
new KV('mw:content', tu.flattenString([prefix, sp, isbn]), tu.expandTsrV(tsr)),
new KV('typeof', 'mw:WikiLink/ISBN'),
],
{ stx: "magiclink", tsr }),
];
}
