| 40px | This is a documentation subpage for Template:DNB. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
Quick explanation (aide-mémoire)
The template can be placed in different locations and depending on the what it is required the parameters can be mixed and matched:
| Location | Parameters | Example | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| ==References== | {{DNB|wstitle=DNB name}} | 12px This article incorporates text from a publication now in the public domain: "Abbadie, Jacques". Dictionary of National Biography. London: Smith, Elder & Co. 1885–1900. | Use wstitle=DNB name if the article exists on Wikisource if not use title=DNB name |
| ==References== | {{DNB|title=|url=|first=|last=|volume=|page=}} | 12px This article incorporates text from a publication now in the public domain: Grant, Arthur (1885). "Abbadie, Jacques". In Stephen, Leslie (ed.). Dictionary of National Biography. 1. London: Smith, Elder & Co. p. 1. | some additional information: title instead of wstitle, url to the external page instead of link to wikisource; the first and last names of the author of the article, the volume and page [number]. |
| inline citation | {{DNB|inline=1|wstitle=DNB name}} | 12px One or more of the preceding sentences incorporates text from a publication now in the public domain: "Abbadie, Jacques". Dictionary of National Biography. London: Smith, Elder & Co. 1885–1900. | inline=1. Alters the prescript from "This article..." to "One or more...". Suitable for noting that a paragraph is copied from CE. |
| inline citation | {{DNB|prescript=|title=DNB name}} | 12px "Abbadie, Jacques". Dictionary of National Biography. London: Smith, Elder & Co. 1885–1900. | prescript=. Removes the prescript suitable for a citation where a paragraph is a summary of a paragraph from an CE article and not a copy. title= for no copy on Wikisource. NB. {{DNB Cite}} is more appropriate for this task. |
| ==Further reading== | {{DNB|no-icon=1|prescript=|url=http://...|title=DNB name}} | "Abbadie, Jacques". Dictionary of National Biography. London: Smith, Elder & Co. 1885–1900. | no-icon=1 remove the lead icon, prescript= removes the prescript title= for the article name not yet on Wikisource. url= for where the text can be found online. NB. {{DNB Cite}} is more appropriate for this task. |
| ==External links== | {{DNB|no-icon=1|prescript=|wstitle=DNB name}} | "Abbadie, Jacques". Dictionary of National Biography. London: Smith, Elder & Co. 1885–1900. | no-icon=1, remove the lead icon prescript= removes the prescript as the source is not used in the article. NB. {{DNB Cite}} is more appropriate for this task. |
Detailed notes
This template is wrapper around {{DNB Cite}}. In its default mode it attributes text to an article from the [Old] Dictionary of National Biography.
{{DNB Cite}} automatically sets some of the parameters before calling Empty citation (help) for example "publisher = Smith, Elder & Co". Over and above the standard parameter passed into {{cite encyclopedia}} there are some additional parameters and those are listed below in a separate table from the table of parameters passed into {{cite encyclopedia}}.
Minimum is:{{DNB|title=EB article name}} or {{DNB|wstitle=EB article name}}[nb 1]
Full set is:{{DNB|wstitle=|prescript=|no-icon|inline=|author=|last=|first=|authorlink=|coauthors=|title=|url=|accessdate=|volume=|page|pages}}
| Parameter | Note |
|---|---|
| wstitle=name of the article on wikisource | If set, set link to CE article on wikisource, and unsets title and url if they are also set. |
| inline=1 | Changes the default prescript from "This article" to "One or more of the preceding sentences". Useful for inline citations (see inline examples in the previous section). |
| no-icon=1 | Suppresses the lead icon (useful with {{Wikisource-inline}}). |
| prescript=alternative prescript | prescript can either be set to an alternative string of text (in which case add to the end of the string as a separator from the first word of the citation); or if set with no string it will remove prescript string from in front of the citation. |
| Paramater | Set to | Notes |

Hidden category
This template includes one of three hidden subcategories of category Category:Wikipedia articles incorporating text from the Dictionary of National Biography.
- If
{{DNB|wstitle=name}}is used: Category:Articles incorporating DNB text with Wikisource reference is included. - otherwise Category:Articles incorporating DNB text without Wikisource reference is included.
- If an unnamed parameter is set then the article name is listed in Category:Articles incorporating DNB template with an unnamed parameter
The categories do not appear at the bottom of the article page, but the article is listed on the category page.
Notes
- ↑ It will also work with no parameters, but that set a category flagging that no article name has been given, as it is not much use to the reader to inform them that a Wikipeda article contains some text copied from somewhere in the 64-volumes of the Dictionary of National Biography!
