When to use

This is "an identifier of last resort". Almost any other identifier, such as {{tl|ISBN}}, {{tl|doi}}, {{tl|OCLC}}, {{tl|LCCN}}, etc., is a better choice and should be used instead of this one.

If the ASIN begins with a number, it is a standard ISBN; please use {{tlx|ISBN|xxxxxxxxxx}} instead of {{tlx|ASIN|xxxxxxxxxx}}, as this will allow us to link to other sites as well as Amazon.
