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
This template supports all parameters that are supported by {{cite encyclopedia}}. These few are pre-set within the template (may be overridden):
|encyclopedia=[[Oxford Dictionary of National Biography]]|edition=online|publisher=[[Oxford University Press]]|ref=harv
Article titles and identification:
|title=<name of the ODNB article>|id=<number>— This is nonstandard and consists of the "article number" (the last set of digits of an ODNB doi or biography URL); creates an internal doi if|doi=not present|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 parameterid=, 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 (url):
{{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
- or like this (doi):
{{Cite ODNB |first=Patrick |last=Little |title=Major-generals (act. 1655–1657) |doi=10.1093/ref:odnb/95468}}- Little, Patrick. "Major-generals (act. 1655–1657)". Oxford Dictionary of National Biography (online ed.). Oxford University Press. doi:10.1093/ref:odnb/95468. Template:ODNBsub
- or like this (id):
{{Cite ODNB |first=Patrick |last=Little |title=Major-generals (act. 1655–1657) |id=95468}}- Little, Patrick. "Major-generals (act. 1655–1657)". Oxford Dictionary of National Biography (online ed.). Oxford University Press. doi:10.1093/ref:odnb/95468. Template:ODNBsub
Years and dates
|origyear=<original year>— The initial year of publication is usually 2004; if the entry has been updated, 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}}.|access-date=— Not needed as the ODNB has both date of article modification, a builtin archive and a doi structure; if used, requires|url=
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){{cite ODNB/sandbox |id=37018 |title=Woolf [''née'' Stephen], (Adeline) Virginia |first=Lyndall |last=Gordon |freearticle=y}}- Gordon, Lyndall. "Woolf [née Stephen], (Adeline) Virginia". Oxford Dictionary of National Biography (online ed.). Oxford University Press. doi:10.1093/ref:odnb/37018.
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
