Template:GND
Usage
This template frames links to Integrated Authority File (IAF) aka Gemeinsame Normdatei (GND) database entries in the Deutsche Nationalbibliothek (DNB). It can be used in free flow text as well as inside of the various {{citation}} and {{cite}} templates via that template's |id= parameter.
At present, the template just allows these codes to be given in some documented way and links to both the corresponding entry in the database as well as the Wikipedia GND article (in order to provide some explanation). It thereby helps to frame the code in some machine readable form and to standardize the appearance.
In the future the template could be expanded to make the given code available as meta-data or to provide some error checking.
Parameters
The first parameter should be the GND code (alternatively given as |gnd=).
- Example 1:
- {{GND|123456789}}
- will result in
- Example 2:
- {{GND|gnd=123456789}}
- will result in
- Example 3 (up to 9 parameters - do not use
|gnd=at the same time):
- {{GND|123456789|987654321}}
- will result in
