__FORCETOC__

== Usage ==
'''{{tlc|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|doi{{=}}{{var|ODNB doi}}|title{{=}}{{var|ODNB article name}}}}'''

For example, '''{{tlc|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|doi{{=}}10.1093/ref:odnb/29986|title{{=}}Worsley, Sir Richard}}''' displays:
:{{ {{BASEPAGENAME}}|doi=10.1093/ref:odnb/29986|title=Worsley, Sir Richard}}

'''List of supported parameters'''

This template supports all parameters that are supported by {{tlx|cite encyclopedia}}.

Several parameters have pre-set defaults (but may be overridden):
* {{para|encyclopedia|<nowiki>[[Oxford Dictionary of National Biography]]</nowiki>}}
* {{para|edition|online}}
* {{para|publisher|<nowiki>[[Oxford University Press]]</nowiki>}}

To override the defaults, type the parameter and a value, like <code><nowiki>{{Cite ODNB|encyclopedia=Oxford Dictionary of National Biography|edition=14th}}</nowiki></code>

Article author (for the full set of author parameters, see {{tlx|cite encyclopedia}}):
* {{para|first|{{var|first name of the article author, if present}}}}
* {{para|last|{{var|last name of the article author, if present}}}}

Article titles and identification:
* {{para|title|{{var|name of the ODNB article}}}}
* {{para|doi|{{var|doi}}}}—use where available on the ODNB page
* {{para|id|{{var|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
* {{para|url|{{var|URL of the ODNB article}}}}—Can be used with or in place of the parameter <code>id=</code>. Is essential for some ODNB non-biography articles such as "Themes" which neither have a doi nor conform to the usual ODNB url biography format.
* Example:
** {{Green|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):
**:{{tlc|{{BASEPAGENAME}} |first{{=}}Patrick |last{{=}}Little |title{{=}}Major-generals (act. 1655–1657) |url{{=}}http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/theme/95468}}
**::{{{{BASEPAGENAME}} |first=Patrick |last=Little |title=Major-generals (act. 1655–1657) |url=http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/theme/95468}}
** or like this (doi):
**:{{tlc|{{BASEPAGENAME}} |first{{=}}Patrick |last{{=}}Little |title{{=}}Major-generals (act. 1655–1657) |doi{{=}}10.1093/ref:odnb/95468}}
**::{{{{BASEPAGENAME}} |first=Patrick |last=Little |title=Major-generals (act. 1655–1657) |doi=10.1093/ref:odnb/95468}}
** or like this (id):
**:{{tlc|{{BASEPAGENAME}} |first{{=}}Patrick |last{{=}}Little |title{{=}}Major-generals (act. 1655–1657) |id{{=}}95468}}
**::{{{{BASEPAGENAME}} |first=Patrick |last=Little |title=Major-generals (act. 1655–1657) |id=95468}}
Years and dates
* {{para|origyear|{{var|original year}}}}—The initial year of publication is usually 2004; if the entry has been updated, the current year parameter may be different.
* {{para|year|{{var|year of ODNB article publication}}}}
* {{para|date|{{var|date of ODNB article publication}}}}—Only set both date and year parameters if date is in YYYY-MM-DD format. In such cases the date parameter value is displayed but year parameter value is used by templates such as {{Tl|harvnb}}.
* {{para|access-date}}—Not needed as the ODNB has both date of article modification, a built in archive and a doi structure; if used, requires {{para|url}}

Some articles are freely available to the public, such as [https://doi.org/10.1093/ref:odnb/37018 Virginia Woolf]. In those cases, you can add the optional {{para|freearticle}} parameter.
* {{para|freearticle|y}}
*: {{tlc|{{BASEPAGENAME}} |id{{=}}37018 |title{{=}}Woolf [''née'' Stephen], (Adeline) Virginia |first{{=}}Lyndall |last{{=}}Gordon |freearticle{{=}}y}}
*:: {{{{BASEPAGENAME}} |id=37018 |title=Woolf [''née'' Stephen], (Adeline) Virginia |first=Lyndall |last=Gordon |freearticle=y}}

== 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 {{para|id}} and {{para|doi}} are tracked in [[:Category:Pages using cite ODNB with both doi and id parameters]]

== See also ==
* {{tl|ODNBsub}}—A subscription template used as a postscript by this template.
* {{tl|DNBfirst}}—Can be placed on the same line as {{Tlc|{{BASEPAGENAME}}}} 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 {{Tl|Cite DNB}} or {{Tl|DNB}}.
* {{tl|Who's Who}}
* [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Dictionary of National Biography]].
* {{tl|Subscription or libraries}}—A template for use when a subscription may be required or the source may be at a library.
