== Usage ==

This template is a wrapper template for {{tlx|cite encyclopedia}}. It links to the website [http://venn.lib.cam.ac.uk/ ACAD] (A Cambridge Alumni Database), which is an online enhanced version of ''[[Alumni Cantabrigienses]]'', a book that catalogues graduates of [[Cambridge University]] through 1900.

<code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>acad |id= |name= {{xtd|{{para|volume}}}} {{xtd|{{para|year}}}} |ref= |access-date= |hide errors=}}</code>

===Required parameters===
* '''id''' : the alphanumeric ID (e.g., "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:
:<code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{BASEPAGENAME}}<nowiki>|id=MLN900AA|name=Milne, Alan Alexander}}</nowiki></code>
::{{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|id=MLN900AA|name=Milne, Alan Alexander}}
and may also be written:
:<code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{BASEPAGENAME}}|MLN900AA|Milne, Alan Alexander}}</code>
::{{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|MLN900AA|Milne, Alan Alexander}}

===Optional parameters===
* '''mode''': see {{tlx|cite encyclopedia}}. it defaults to [[Help:Citation Style 1|cs1]] but can be changed, e.g.:
*:<code><nowiki>mode=cs2</nowiki></code>to match the mode used by the {{tlx|citation}} template.
* '''ref''': see {{tlx|cite encyclopedia}}. This can be used in combination with {{tl|harv}}, {{tl|harvnb}} and {{tl|sfn}} templates to link short format citations to this one. Unless overridden by the content of {{para|ref}}, {{tlf|acad}} creates an anchor id using the content of {{para|id}}. To link to the {{tlf|acad}} citation, use, for example, <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>sfn|ACAD|<''id''>}}</code> where <code><''id''></code> is the value from {{para|id}}.
* '''access-date''': full date that ACAD was consulted
* '''hide errors''': when set to <code>yes</code>, hides error messages

===Error messages===
If required parameters are empty or omitted, the template will add appropriate error messages to the end of the citation.
*<span style="font-size:100%" class="error citation-comment">missing <code>id</code>.</span> – {{para|id}} is required to create the proper url link to the database; defaults to the database search page;
*<span style="font-size:100%" class="error citation-comment">missing <code>name</code>.</span> – {{para|name}} is required to create the correct title in the rendered citation;

{{tlf|acad}} citations with missing {{para|name}} or {{para|id}} are placed in the hidden maintenance category {{cl|ACAD citations missing parameters}} when those pages are in article namespace.
