Usage

{{Cite ODNB|id=ODNB article number|title=ODNB article name}}

For example, {{Cite ODNB|id=29986|title=Worsley, Sir Richard}} displays:

"Worsley, Sir Richard". Oxford Dictionary of National Biography (online આવૃત્તિ). Oxford University Press. doi:10.1093/ref:odnb/29986. (Subscription or UK public library membership required.)

List of supported parameters

This template supports all parameters that are supported by {{cite encyclopedia}}. These few are pre-set within the template (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
• |id=number — This is nonstandard and consists of the "article number" (the last set of digits of an ODNB doi or biography URL); creates an internal doi if |doi= not present. This should ONLY be used if a |doi= is not available, as it does not always generate the correct link.
• |doi=doi — should 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 (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 આવૃત્તિ). 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 આવૃત્તિ). 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 આવૃત્તિ). 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 — 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 |freearticle= parameter.

• |freearticle=y (or omit)

  {{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 આવૃત્તિ). Oxford University Press. doi:10.1093/ref:odnb/37018.

Hidden categories

This template places articles that incorporate it into an administrative hidden category:

• Category:Wikipedia articles incorporating a citation from the ODNB

Pages using both |id= and |doi= are tracked in Category:Pages using cite ODNB with both doi and id parameters
