Manual talk:ISBN

Is it possible, that this page is no longer up to date? At least with a German localization of MediaWiki 1.9.3, I can't reproduce the described steps anymore. If memory serves right, it worked lastl on MediaWiki 1.5.x or 1.6.x (then I upgraded the installation).

The Manual pages reads: "This is a link to a special booksource page, the page Meta:Book sources with each instance of MAGICNUMBER on this page replaced with the ISBN [...]" - This sounds as if the text was simply copied from Meta. Shouldn't this read something like ?

Also, on different sections of the Manual page, the ISBN page is referenced as "SOME_NAMESPACE:Booksources", on others as "SOME_NAMESPACE:Book_Sources" or even "SOME_NAMESPACE:Book_sources" - what is supposed the be right?

The Manual page reads further: "If the page configured there does not exist, ISBN links are still generated and render a default page of links to book sources taken from the languageXXX.php file". In the German localization of MediaWiki 1.9.3, this doesn't work anymore for me. In /var/www/{path-to-wiki-root}/languages/LanguageDe.php, I edited the section

These changes are being ignored completely, every search falls back to some "defaults" defined anywhere else - Could anyone knowing please update the Manual how this works in MediaWiki 1.9.3? Thanks --asb 18:57, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
