About this template
Template:Citation/identifier is a helper template to Wikipedia's citation system. This template ties in with other templates like Template:Citation/core. Specifically, it helps render how identifiers like ASIN, ISBN, and JSTOR are rendered in references, producing a consistent look throughout the encyclopedia.
Stand-alone templates
Most of the fields have stand-alone templates for other uses. ISBN, PMID and RFC are directly supported by the MediaWiki software.
Usage
Each identifier is invoked by use of |identifier= to define the type and one or more input parameters:
| Identifier | |identifier= |
|input1= |
|input2= |
|input3= |
