Fields

• wstitle or title. Required.
  • wstitle: DNB supplement article name on Wikisource or
  • title: DNB supplement article name (can be coupled with url= see below)
• url: http://... link to web location other than Wikisource. Useful with title, unset by wstitle

  • first: Firstname(s) of author. Don't wikilink (use 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 "first" and "last".
• volume: Volume in which the entry appears. Used to generate the year and editor information.
• accessdate: Full date when an electronic item other than Wikisource was accessed. Requires |url=. Should be in the same format as the rest of the article.

The "pp." notation indicating multiple pages, and "p." notation indicating a single page, are placed automatically when you choose between the plural (pages) or singular (page) form of the parameter. Page ranges should be separated by an unspaced en dash (–).
• quote: Relevant quote from the article.
