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 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:

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.

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.
