The '''Cite OED''' template generates a citation and online reference for a particular word defined in the third edition of the Oxford English Dictionary.  No support for volume or page is included; they are inappropriate for an online citation.

== Usage ==
If used within an [[WP:INCITE|inline]] [[help:footnote|footnote]], the footnote should be inserted ''after'' punctuation, such as a period or comma.

In its simplest form: {{tlc|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|<var>term</var>}} – where ''term'' is a word or a term used in the OED

To avoid ambiguity with words that may have multiple definitions (for example, "get" has 3 distinct definitions as a noun and one as a verb in the OED), the OED ID included in the URL of the page may be cited; https://www.oed.com/view/Entry/144742 has ID 144742. However, citing the ID may prevent jumping to the location of a compound term; for example
<nowiki>{{Cite OED|pith helmet|id=144742}}</nowiki> will link to the top of the "pith" page,<ref>{{Cite OED|pith helmet|id=144742}}</ref> while <nowiki>{{Cite OED|pith helmet}}</nowiki> will link, more usefully, to "pith helmet" on that page.<ref>{{Cite OED|pith helmet}}</ref>
