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]]

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 parameter id=. 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):

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—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}}.
  • |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
