List of supported parameters

This template supports all parameters that are supported by.

Several parameters have pre-set defaults (but may be overridden):
 * Oxford Dictionary of National Biography
 * online
 * Oxford University Press

Article titles and identification: Years and dates
 * name of the ODNB article
 * doi — use where available on the ODNB page
 * number — Use ONLY if a doi is not available. This is a nonstandard parameter and consists of the "article number" (often the last set of digits of a biography URL). Avoid if possible as it as it does not always generate the correct link
 * URL of the ODNB article — Can be used with or in place of the parameter . Is  essential for ODNB some non-biography articles such as "Themes" which neither have a doi nor conform to the usual ODNB url biography format.
 * Example:
 * This can be handled like this (url):
 * or like this (doi):
 * or like this (id):
 * or like this (doi):
 * or like this (id):
 * or like this (id):
 * or like this (id):
 * or like this (id):
 * original year — The initial year of publication is usually 2004; if the entry has been updated, the current year parameter may be different.
 * year of ODNB article publication
 * date of ODNB article publication — If date and year parameters are both set then date parameter value is displayed but year parameter value is used by templates such as harvnb.
 * access-date — Not needed as the ODNB has both date of article modification, a builtin archive and a doi structure; if used, requires url

Some articles are freely available to the public, such as Virginia Woolf. In those cases, you can add the optional freearticle parameter.
