| {{cite DNB}}
|
Inline citation and end reference to DNB, first edition.
|
Template:Cite DNB/doc
|
This template allows author by "first", "last" and "authorlink". Used as {{cite DNB|wstitle= .}} it will link to an existing Wikisource article; it does not have to be used in just this fashion, though. Wikisource pages give original page and volume numbers, and author information via a link. All of these can be added separately here.

| {{DNB}}
|
Attribution, in cases where DNB text or a close paraphrase is added to the article. Add at the end of the footer section.
|
Template:DNB/doc
|
The use of this template in line with WP:PLAGIARISM is basic also for tracking added text. Used as {{DNB|wstitle= .}} it gives access to what the original source says, helping with fact-checking.

The old versions often have more information of certain kinds (bibliographical, portraits, family) which may be useful.
