Template:Cite DIB/doc

This template provides a quick, standard method of citing the Dictionary of Indian Biography

It is a wrapper around the standard citation template. As such it fills out some parameters, but the full range of parameters provided by WP:CS1 are available. To change the appearance of the output to that of use the parameter cs2.

Usage
All parameters apart from title or wstitle are optional: undefined undefined

Some parameters are pre-set:
 * last — is set to "Buckland"
 * first — is set to "C.E."
 * date — is set to "1906"
 * encyclopedia — is set to "Dictionary of Indian Biography"
 * location — is set to "London"
 * publisher — is set to "Swan Sonnenschein & Co. Lim"

In addition to the full range of parameters provided by WP:CS1 there are some specialised parameters
 * wstitle — links to a Dictionary of Indian Biography article on Wikisource; an alternative to the standard parameter.
 * display — will display the text assigned to it in place of that for wstitle. This is useful for hiding disambiguation extensions.
 * short — if set to anything it will prevent certain fields from being displayed. Useful to reduce verbiage when the template is used in the "External links" section.
 * noicony (or any other text) — this hides the icon at the start of the citation. It is not the same as the standard wikisource icon as found in which has been disabled in this template
