Description

UPC Wiki is a free product catalog of retail goods which are identified using UPC/EAN barcodes. Built collaboratively using Wiki software.

There are two special namespaces called Product and Company.
Article titles in these namespaces are derived from the barcode digits.
Most product articles use the EAN-13 standard, and have 13 digits. Example: Product:0086279001016
Most company articles use the first 7 digits from the EAN-13 standard. Example: Company:0086279
In the United States, the UPC barcode standards are the most common. These are 11 or 12 digits in length for a UPC-A barcode, and 7 or 8 digits for a UPC-E barcode.
If you have 12 digits, you can figure out the EAN-13 barcode by prefixing the country code. For the United States, this prefix is the number 0.
When making a brand new page, the EAN-13 barcode is preferable if available.
Templates are available to generate barcode images.
