Template:DNBIE/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:DNBIE.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template uses Lua:

Module:template wrapper (sandbox)

This template is deprecated. The Index and Epitome is a tertiary source that references the Dictionary of National Biography (DNB), which is a secondary source. All articles from the DNB are now (as of 2013) available at Wikisource (see s:DNB00) so our Wikipedia articles should reference the DNB, not the DNBIE. The DNB is a reliable source. See WP:V.

Usage

The DNBIE template should be placed in the References section of an article usually after an Attribution notice (see the where to place attribution section in the plagiarism guideline).

The possible parameters for the template are: {{DNBIE|title=|page=|pages=}}

title=page name — (required) use this parameter to identify the name of the entry in the DNB I&E
in-source locators (use only one of these):
- page=page number — this template links |title= to the page in the facsimile copy of the DNB I&E at Internet Archive, so providing the page number helps readers find the entry in the DNBIE
- pages=page numbers — as for page= but for entries that span more than one page.
ref=harv — turns on parameter used by templates such as {{harv}}

Entries in DNB I&E include the volume and page number of the unabridged article in the main DNB. You can link to those articles at Wikisource choosing the appropriate DNB template from the list below. Wikisource:Dictionary of National Biography, Index and Epitome does not exist so this template does not support direct access to Wikisource.
