Usage

Cite DNBIE is a replacement for {{cite encyclopedia}} for citing the Dictionary of National Biography Index and Epitome volume.

The template fills out some parameters such as editor, date, publisher automatically. It should be placed wherever the template {{cite encyclopedia}}.

The possible parameters for the template are: {{Cite DNBIE|noicon=1 |wstitle=|title=|page=|pages=}}

  • noicon=1 — turns off the lead icon
  • ref=harv — turns on parameter used by templates such as {{harv}}
  • wstitle=page name — use this parameter if the DNB article has been copied onto Wikisource
  • display=alternative name — use this parameter with wstitle if the subject is a subsection of another article or to hide a dab extension, or to change the name in some other way.
  • title=page name — use this parameter if the DNB article has not been copied onto Wikisource
  • page=page number — the text of this template provides a link to the facsimile copy of the DNBIE Internet Archive, so providing the page number helps other editors find the entry in the DNBIE entry. As the entry includes the volume and page number of the main DNB article, entering the page number is a useful aid for helping the Wikisource DNB project and the Wikipedia DNB project
  • pages=page numbers — as for page= but for entries that span more than one page.
