Motivation edit
An ISSN identifies a serial publication on a given media (usually print or online). Online and printed version of the same publication have 2 different ISSNs. However Wikidata uses a "one item per publication" rule, so publications with 2 distribution formats will bet 2 ISSNs. Introducing the ISSN-L in Wikidata will make it easier to have a single identifier for items corresponding to publications that have multiple distribution formats. Note that for publications that have a single distribution format, I think the ISSN and the ISSN-L are identicals. – The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tfrancart (talk • contribs).

- Support and reformatted examples. @Tfrancart: it would be good to shorten the description (remember that this is meant to be displayed in the property suggestion widget, when adding a new statement for instance). − Pintoch (talk) 09:11, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
