This template provides a quick, standard method of citing the Dictionary of Indian Biography

It is a wrapper around the standard citation template {{cite encyclopedia}}. As such it fills out some {{cite encyclopedia}} parameters, but the full range of parameters provided by WP:CS1 are available. To change the appearance of the output to that of {{citation}} use the parameter |mode=cs2.

Usage

All parameters apart from |title= or |wstitle= are optional:

{{cite DIB |title=Abadie, Henry Richard}}


public domain Buckland, C.E. (1906). "Abadie, Henry Richard". Dictionary of Indian Biography. London: Swan Sonnenschein & Co. Lim.

{{cite DIB |wstitle=Abadie, Henry Richard}}


Wikisource Buckland, C.E. (1906). "Abadie, Henry Richard". Dictionary of Indian Biography. London: Swan Sonnenschein & Co. Lim.

Some parameters are pre-set:

  • |last= — is set to "Buckland"
  • |first= — is set to "C.E."
  • |date= — is set to "1906"
  • |encyclopedia= — is set to "Dictionary of Indian Biography"
  • |location= — is set to "London"
  • |publisher= — is set to "Swan Sonnenschein & Co. Lim"

In addition to the full range of parameters provided by WP:CS1 there are some specialised parameters

  • |wstitle= — links to a Dictionary of Indian Biography article on Wikisource; an alternative to the standard parameter{{title}}.
  • |display= — will display the text assigned to it in place of that for |wstitle=. This is useful for hiding disambiguation extensions.
  • |short= — if set to anything it will prevent certain fields from being displayed. Useful to reduce verbiage when the template is used in the "External links" section.
  • |noicon=y (or any other text) — this hides the icon at the start of the citation. It is not the same as the standard wikisource icon as found in {{cite wikisource}} which has been disabled in this template
