=== Purpose ===
This template enables the citation of articles from the Wikisource project [[s:Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900|Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900]] or [[s:Dictionary of National Biography, 1901 supplement|Dictionary of National Biography, 1901 supplement]] in the manner of non-link references and notes.

To cite the contemporary [[Oxford Dictionary of National Biography]], use [[:Template:Cite ODNB]].

=== Usage ===
'''Common fields'''

<code><nowiki>{{cite DNB |wstitle=|last=|first=
|authorlink=|volume=}}</nowiki></code>

'''All fields'''

<code><nowiki>{{cite DNB |wstitle= |last= |first=
|authorlink= |volume= |pages= |quote=
|vb= |supplement= |no-icon= |title=
|url= |display= |access-date=}}</nowiki></code>

=== Fields ===
* '''wstitle'''. Required. (but see '''title''' below).
** '''wstitle''': DNB article name on Wikisource
* '''last''': Surname of author. Don't wikilink (use {{para|authorlink}} instead).
** '''first''': Firstname(s) of author. Don't wikilink (use {{para|authorlink}} instead).
** '''authorlink''': Title of Wikipedia article about author. Article should already exist. Must not be wikilinked itself. Do not use this on its own, but along with {{para|first}} and {{para|last}}.
* '''volume''': Volume in which the entry appears. Used to generate the year and editor information.
* '''pages''' or '''page''': These parameters are for listing the pages relevant to the citation, ''not'' the total number of pages in the book. "{{para|pages|5–7}}" produces "pp. 5–7", while "{{para|page|5}}" produces "p. 5". The "pp." notation indicating multiple pages, and "p." notation indicating a single page, ''are placed automatically'' when you choose between the plural ({{para|pages}}) or singular ({{para|page}}) form of the parameter. Page ranges should be separated by an unspaced [[en dash]] (–).
*'''display'''=''text'' — Optional. It will display the ''text'' on the wikipedia page masking the content of the ''wstitle='' parameter.
* '''quote''': Relevant quote from the article.
* '''vb=1''': Display advisory that DNB text is copied verbatim into a Wikipedia article
* '''supplement=1''': The article comes from the 1901 supplement.
* '''supplement=2''': The article comes from the 1912 supplement.
* '''no-icon=1''': Remove the lead icon.
* '''ref''': When used with short-form notation; {{tlx|sfn}}, {{tlx|harv}} and similar methods.
* '''mode''': Sets element separator, default terminal punctuation, and certain capitalization according to the value provided (see {{tl|cite encyclopedia}} for details)

====Deprecated fields====
* '''title''': (deprecated) DNB article name (can be coupled with {{para|url}} see below)
* '''url''': '' (deprecated) <nowiki>http://...</nowiki>'' link to web location. Only works when {{para|title}} is set; unset by {{para|wstitle}}.
* '''access-date''': (deprecated) Full date when an electronic item other than Wikisource was accessed. Requires {{para|url}} Should be in the same format as the rest of the article.

=== Examples ===
====Using ''wstitle''====

<code><nowiki>{{cite DNB|wstitle=Sheldon, Gilbert|last=Hutton|first=William Holden|authorlink=William Holden Hutton|volume=52}}</nowiki></code>

displays as:

{{cite DNB|wstitle=Sheldon, Gilbert|last=Hutton|first=William Holden|authorlink=William Holden Hutton|volume=52}}

====Using ''section''====
Sometimes a biography article includes other members of a family who are notable but are not considered notable enough to have their own entry. For example the DNB article on [[Sir Richard Wynn, 2nd Baronet]] appears in the DNB article "Wynn, John" (1553–1626) under the section name of "{{smallcaps|Sir Richard Wynn}}" (d. 1649). A section name can be given to access this sub-article:

<code><nowiki>
{{cite DNB|wstitle=Wynn, John |section=Wynn, Richard |volume=63}}
</nowiki></code>

displays as:

{{cite DNB|wstitle=Wynn, John |section=Wynn, Richard |volume=63}}

====Using ''title'' and ''url''====
The ''title'', ''url'', and ''access-date'' are deprecated. They were used to reference non-Wikisource locations before the entire DNB became available on Wikisource.
They should not be used unless there is some compelling reason to do so: please leave an inline comment to justify this and leave a comment in the
talk page of this template doc. Please convert any existing ''title''/''url'' to wstitle if you find one.

{{cite DNB |wstitle=Bramwell, Frederick Joseph|last=Wood|first=Henry Trueman Wright Wood |authorlink= |volume=1 |pages=213–216 |supplement=2}}

====Using <code>vb</code>====
If text is incorporated verbatim into an article, the <code>vb</code> parameter can be used to tack on a notice appropriate to the policy in [[Wikipedia:Plagiarism]].

<code><nowiki>{{Cite DNB|wstitle=Hartlib, Samuel|volume=25|vb=1}}</nowiki></code>

displays as:

{{Cite DNB|wstitle=Hartlib, Samuel|volume=25|vb=1}}

====Other parameters; add a comment====
<code><nowiki>
{{cite DNB|wstitle=Sheldon, Gilbert|last=Hutton|first=William Holden|authorlink=William Holden Hutton|volume=52|pages=24–26|quote=Sheldon was placed at the head of the English church at a very critical time}} Archbishop of Canterbury, 1663–1677.</nowiki></code>

displays as:

{{cite DNB|wstitle=Sheldon, Gilbert|last=Hutton|first=William Holden|authorlink=William Holden Hutton|volume=52|pages=24–26|quote=Sheldon was placed at the head of the English church at a very critical time}} Archbishop of Canterbury, 1663–1677.
