List of supported parameters
This template supports all parameters that are supported by {{cite encyclopedia}}.
Several parameters have pre-set defaults (but may be overridden):
|encyclopedia=[[Oxford Dictionary of National Biography]]|edition=online|publisher=[[Oxford University Press]]
To override the defaults, type the parameter and a value, like {{Cite ODNB|encyclopedia=Oxford Dictionary of National Biography|edition=14th}}
Article author (for the full set of author parameters, see {{cite encyclopedia}}):
|first=first name of the article author, if present|last=last name of the article author, if present
Article titles and identification:
|title=name of the ODNB article|doi=doi—use where available on the ODNB page|id=number—Use ONLY if a doi is not available. This is a nonstandard parameter and consists of the "article number" (often the last set of digits of a biography URL). Avoid if possible as it as it does not always generate the correct link|url=URL of the ODNB article—Can be used with or in place of the parameterid=. Is essential for ODNB some non-biography articles such as "Themes" which neither have a doi nor conform to the usual ODNB url biography format.- 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. (Subscription or UK public library membership required.)
- 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. (Subscription or UK public library membership required.)
- 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. (Subscription or UK public library membership required.)
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—Only set both date and year parameters if date is in YYYY-MM-DD format. In such cases the 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 optional |freearticle= parameter.
|freearticle=y{{Cite ODNB|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
