== Different ISBNs == | |||
Would it be much trouble to add extra lines for different ISBNs in (the expanded version of) Template:Book? I stumbled upon the need to add an "Ebook ISBN" in addition to the "Print ISBN" when creating the page for ''[http://www.mcfarlandbooks.com/book-2.php?id=978-0-7864-7438-7 Tolkien in the New Century]''.--[[User:Morgan|Morgan]] 16:47, 30 June 2014 (UTC) | |||
:Done. I've even done a cool thing whereby if you do put in two ISBNs it changes on the template to read "ISBNs" instead of "ISBN". --{{User:Mith/sig}} 11:17, 6 July 2014 (UTC) |

Thanks for the welcome
Hi, Mith. I just threw in a lot of stuff (mostly in the refs) about "Bullroarer" in Bandobras Took#Etymology, with sources going about 3 levels deep. Dammit, this site is feeding my addictions! --Thnidu 10:34, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

Sourcing
Hey mith if I were to clean up the mirkwood and thorin pages are there certain edtions that we tend to use as sourses or can we just use any edition of the original stories Throrin Longbeard 22:26, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
