List of supported parameters (for a fuller explanation see {{cite encyclopedia}})

These parameters are pre-set but can be overridden with other values

Author names:

  • first=name; last=name; authorlink=article name
  • first2=name; last2=name; authorlink2=article name — Useful for the name of the reviewer
  • first3=name; last3=name; — there may occasionally be three authors. Currently this template only handles up to three
  • author=name
  • author2=name
  • author3=name

Article titles and identification:

  • title=name of the ODNB article
  • id=number — This is non standard and consists of the "article number" (the last set of digits of an ODNB doi or biography url)
  • 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:
    • 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:
    • {{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)"অক্সফোর্ড ডিকশনারি অব ন্যাশনাল বায়োগ্রাফি (অনলাইন সংস্করণ)। অক্সফোর্ড বিশ্ববিদ্যালয় প্রেস।  (সাবস্ক্রিপশন বা যুক্তরাজ্যের গণগ্রন্থাগারের সদস্যপদ প্রয়োজন।)

Years and dates

  • origyear=origninal year — The initial year of publication is usually 2004 if there has one or more updates the current year parameter my 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}}
  • accessdate=month year — not needed as the ODNB has both date of article modification, a builtin archive and a doi structure.

  • {{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}}.
