Weird Error

i noticed multiple pages have this and a similar error in the category section whats going on here?--Zillaman98 (talk) 19:44, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

https://wikizilla.org/wiki/Category:CS1_errors:_ISBN

One or more of the citations on those pages are formatted incorrectly. The |author= parameter in the Cite book template should only be used for a maximum of one author (and ideally not used at all). It should instead be |last=, |first=, |last2=, |first2=, and so on.

The ISBN error means that the ISBN number in the |isbn= parameter is incorrect and doesn't lead to an actual book. I think a typo got into the ISBN of The Official Godzilla Compendium, so now it's on every page that cites it. Les (main | talk) 19:51, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

Can this be resolved its weird to see so many pages have it.Zillaman98 (talk) 19:55, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

Yes. I could probably auto-replace the incorrect ISBNs with a bot, but the authors will need to be corrected manually. Les (main | talk) 19:56, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
