Template	Basic function	Documentation page	Comments
{{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.
{{cite DNBSupp}}, {{DNBSupp}}	These are versions of the above for the first supplement, i.e. Wikisource articles with suffix (DNB01).	Template:cite DNBSupp/doc, Template:DNBSupp/doc
{{cite DNB12}}, {{DNB12}}	These are versions of the above for the second supplement, i.e. Wikisource articles with suffix (DNB12). The further DNB supplements that followed are not public domain text.	Template:cite DNB12/doc, Template:DNBSupp12/doc
{{Cite ODNB}}	Citation template for the modern Oxford Dictionary of National Biography subscription website.	Template:Cite ODNB/doc	Recent discussion on Template talk:Cite ODNB.
{{DNBfirst}}	Auxiliary template to be used with {{ODNBweb}}, to give access to the old PD version of an article.	Template:DNBfirst/doc	The old versions often have more information of certain kinds (bibliographical, portraits, family) which may be useful.
{{Wikisource}}	Generic Wikisource poster to create an interwiki link to relevant information.	Template:Wikisource/doc	Deprecated for DNB citation and attribution purposes, as too vague.
