Usage
{{Cite ODNB|id=ODNB article number|title=ODNB article name}}
For example, {{Cite ODNB|id=29986|title=Worsley, Sir Richard}} displays:
- "Worsley, Sir Richard". Oxford Dictionary of National Biography (online ed.). Oxford University Press. doi:10.1093/ref:odnb/29986. Template:ODNBsub
- List of supported parameters (for a fuller explanation see {{cite encyclopedia}})
These parameters are pre-set but can be overridden with other values
- encyclopedia=Oxford Dictionary of National Biography
- edition=online
- publisher=Oxford University Press
- ref=harv
Author names:
- first=name; last=name; authorlink=article name
- first2=name; last2=name; authorlink2=article name — Useful for the name of the reviewer.
- first3=name; last3=name; — There may occasionally be three authors. Currently this template only handles up to three.
- author=name
- author2=name
- author3=name
Article titles and identification:
- title=name of the ODNB article
- id=number — This is non standard and consists of the "article number" (the last set of digits of an ODNB doi or biography URL).
- doi=doi — Can be used instead of the parameter
id=. - url=URL of the ODNB article — Can be used with or in place of the parameter
id=, but is also essential for ODNB non-biography articles such as "Themes" which do not conform to the usual ODNB url biography format and do not have a doi. See, for example:- Patrick Little, ‘Major-generals (act. 1655–1657)’, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press. http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/theme/95468
- This can be handled like this:
{{Cite ODNB |first=Patrick |last=Little |title=Major-generals (act. 1655–1657) |url=http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/theme/95468}}- Little, Patrick. "Major-generals (act. 1655–1657)". Oxford Dictionary of National Biography (online ed.). Oxford University Press. Template:ODNBsub
Years and dates
- origyear=original year — The initial year of publication is usually 2004 if there has one or more updates the current year parameter may be different.
- year=year of ODNB article publication
- date=date of ODNB article publication — If date and year parameters are both set then date parameter value is displayed but year parameter value is used by templates such as {{harvnb}}.
- accessdate=month year — Not needed as the ODNB has both date of article modification, a builtin archive and a doi structure.
Some articles are freely available to the public, such as Virginia Woolf. In those cases, you can add the freearticle parameter.
- freearticle=y (or omit)
The mode parameter is able to alter the punctuation between fields, and the terminator. The default is citation style 1: "." between fields and at the end. Set mode=cs2 to change the appearance of this template to match citation style 2, the other commonly used template style of {{citation}}, which uses "," between fields and nothing at the end.
- mode=cs2 (or omit)
Hidden categories
This template places articles that incorporate it into an administrative hidden category:
Pages using both |id= and |doi= are tracked in Category:Pages using cite ODNB with both doi and id parameters
See also
- {{ODNBsub}} — A subscription template used as a postscript by this template.
- {{DNBfirst}} — Can be placed on the same line as {{Cite ODNB}} to allow readers who do not have access to ODNB to see older versions of the text now in the public domain. This is particularly useful if there is a version of the text available on Wikisource. Please refrain from using this template if the same DNB article is already available in the Wikipedia article via {{Cite DNB}} or {{DNB}}.
- {{Who's Who}}
- Wikipedia:WikiProject Dictionary of National Biography.
- {{Subscription or libraries}} — A template for use when a subscription may be required or the source may be at a library.
