Should the ISNI code on an artist page be linked with their entries on the ISNI website?

[Jeluang]

As of now, artist with an ISNI just simply display the numbers (and X) as plain text but I wonder if it’s okay to link it to the ISNI website like the other external links. I don’t mean putting it with the rest of the external links but simply linking to the website probably with a copy button if it’s hard to copy the ISNI itself should it be a link.

For example, The Beatles have their ISNI as 0000 0001 2170 7484 which corresponds to http://www.isni.org/0000000121707484 on the ISNI website.

That was supposed to be fixed in 2013, wonder what changed. @Bitmap: have a look if you find some time, if not I will check when I’m back in Estonia and working

I touched on this a couple weeks ago.

Site "visuals"

Artist images (wikipedia images) are no longer displaying. Sometimes I can click on an ISNI number and sometimes I cannot. The VIAF link is clickable but now displays VIAF: 27290678 (the artist’s number) instead of just VIAF. I am sure there are other changes, but those 3 stick out in my head. Is this something the site is doing, or have I started inputting data wrong?

the ISNI itself should it be a link.

Sometimes I can click on an ISNI number and sometimes I cannot.

It is a regression since 2018-11-01 when this template has been rewritten to React.
