Usage

[edit]

This template generates a link for finding data about a single (print or online) publication via its Japanese Article Number (JAN). Do not use spaces, dashes or other punctuation, just the numerals in the code. It may be used to implement other templates or directly; in both cases, please be sure that the context makes clear that it provides a link for UPC lookup. This template should not be used if the item has an ISSN or ISBN, in which cases see the "See also" section below for more appropriate templates.

It takes up to nine parameters.

The template can also be used inside the |id= parameter of the various {{cite xxx}} citation templates.

Example

Usage: {{JAN|4910139660715}}
Links to: https://www.amazon.co.jp/s?url=search-alias=aps&field-keywords=4910139660715
Renders as: JAN 4910139660715

Note

If you know of an better (official, non-commercial) database for JAN codes, feel free to update the template and replace the link to amazon.jp by something more appropriate.
