Who's Who: document extra parameters

New page

{{Documentation subpage}}
{{High-use}}


This template generates an external link to a given person's biographical profile in ''[[Who's Who (UK)|Who's Who]]'' at {{URL|ukwhoswho.com}} using an identifier and associated metadata.

== Usage ==

Two parameters, the bare minimum
: <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{BASEPAGENAME}} | id= ''ID'' | title = <{{var|title from person's Who's Who entry}}> }}</code>

Five parameters:
: <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{BASEPAGENAME}} | author= ''AUTHOR'' | year= ''YEAR'' | title = <{{var|title from person's Who's Who entry}}> | id= ''ID'' | doi= ''DOI'' }}</code>

== Examples ==

===Who's Who===
For biographies of living people e.g.

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline="1">{{Who's Who
| author = [Anon.]
| year = 2017
| title = Hawking, Prof. Stephen William
| id = U19510
| doi = 10.1093/ww/9780199540884.013.19510
}}</syntaxhighlight>

looks like

{{Who's Who
| author = [Anon.]
| year = 2017
| title = Hawking, Prof. Stephen William
| id = U19510
| doi = 10.1093/ww/9780199540884.013.19510
}}

another example with different parameters

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline="1">{{Who's Who
| title = Howarth, Toby Matthew
| id = U282438
| volume = 2017
| edition = November 2016 online
| access-date = </syntaxhighlight><code>{{date}}<nowiki>
}}
</nowiki></code>

looks like

{{Who's Who
| title = Howarth, Toby Matthew
| id = U282438
| volume = 2017
| edition = November 2016 online
| access-date = {{date}}
}}

or a fuller version with more parameters

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline="1">{{Who's Who
| author=Anon
| title = Martin, Christopher Anthony John
| id =U268294
| year = 2024
| doi =10.1093/ww/9780199540884.013.U268294
| edition = 176th
| publisher=[[Oxford University Press]]
|location=Oxford
|isbn=9781399409452
|oclc=1402257203</syntaxhighlight><code><nowiki>
}}
</nowiki></code>

looks like

{{Who's Who
| author=Anon
| title = Martin, Christopher Anthony John
| id =U268294
| year = 2024
| doi =10.1093/ww/9780199540884.013.U268294
| edition = 176th
| publisher=[[Oxford University Press]]
|location=Oxford
|isbn=9781399409452
|oclc=1402257203
|pages=2736}}

===Who Was Who===
For biographies of the deceased for example

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline="1">{{Who's Who
| title = Hayward, Henry Rudge
| id = U186956
| type = was
| volume = 1920–2016
| edition = April 2014 online
| access-date = </syntaxhighlight><code>{{date}}<nowiki>
}}
</nowiki></code>

looks like

{{Who's Who
| title = Hayward, Henry Rudge
| id = U186956
| type = was
| volume = 1920–2016
| edition = April 2014 online
| access-date = {{date}}
}}
