Description of parameters

ಬದಲಾಯಿಸಿ
  • id : the alphanumeric ID (eg, "DNKS873WA") of the person's biographical entry. It appears in small print in the right-hand column header for each ACAD search result, and can be hard to spot (search within the web page for the phrase "unique identifier").
  • name : name of the person/biography

For example:

  • {{Venn|id=MLN900AA|name=Milne, Alan Alexander}}

produces:

  • Venn, J.; Venn, J. A., eds. (1922–1958). "Milne, Alan Alexander". Alumni Cantabrigienses (10 vols) (online ed.). Cambridge University Press. {{cite encyclopedia}}: Cite has empty unknown parameters: |1= and |HIDE_PARAMETER= (help); External link in |title= (help)CS1 maint: date and year (link)
Optional parameters
  • volume: see {{Cite encyclopedia}}
  • year: defaults to 1958, but unless it is explicitly set it is hidden by the date parameter which is set to 1922–1958
  • ref: see {{{Cite encyclopedia}}. This can be used in combination with {{Harv}}, {{Harvnb}} and {{Sfn}} templates to link short citations to this one. Unless a specific year parameter is added this template the default year of 1958 is used. For example {{sfn|Venn|Venn|1958}}.
