Template:Cite ADB/sandbox
 | This is the template sandbox page for Template:Cite ADB (diff). |
Template documentation | This template is a Citation Style 2 template based on {{Citation}}. For centralised Citation Style 2 discussions, see Help talk:Citation Style 2. |
Purpose
Use this template to link to Allgemeine Deutsche Biographie (ADB) articles. The simplest form links to Bayerische Staatsbibliothek's (BSB) high-quality images of the Fraktur of the original pages from ADB. It is also possible to link to plain text at German Wikisource.
Usage
{{Cite ADB|Volume|First page|Last page|Title|Author|Wikisource title}}
Parameters
- = ADB volume
- = first page of ADB article
- = last page of ADB article (use first page number if the article all falls on one page)
- = name of the subject of the biography; this serves as the link label
- = name of the author of the biography; for example, B. Max Mustermann
- = article name at Wikisource (always prefixed by "ADB:") [optional]
Examples
The simplest form links to page images at Bayerische StaatsBibliothek:
{{Cite ADB|55|146|158|Sauppe, Hermann|Erich Ziebarth}}
produces:
Erich Ziebarth (1910), "Sauppe, Hermann", Allgemeine Deutsche Biographie (ADB) (in Deutsch), vol. 55, Leipzig: Duncker & Humblot, pp. 146–158
i.e. a citation with a link to the Bayerische StaatsBibliothek's image of the ADB article. However, please note that all 26,000 of these articles are also available as text at German Wikisource, where there are also links to the BSB scans. Although the text for all is complete at German Wikisource, the state of preparation varies from article to article, some being of very high quality, and others being very raw OCR output. If the quality of the particular text you are interested in is suitable, you can use this template to link to it by using an extra parameter at the end:
{{Cite ADB|55|146|158|Sauppe, Hermann|Erich Ziebarth|ADB:Sauppe, Hermann}}
produces:
Erich Ziebarth (1910), "Sauppe, Hermann", Allgemeine Deutsche Biographie (ADB) (in Deutsch), vol. 55, Leipzig: Duncker & Humblot, pp. 146–158
Now the link goes to German Wikisource rather than BSB.
Short citations anchor
The template generates by default an anchor for short citations like {{sfn}} and such. If that is not needed, it can be disabled by adding the parameter |ref=none.
