Usage

Copy a blank version to use. Almost all parameter names are supported only in lower case (some initialisms, such as |isbn= have upper-case aliases like |ISBN=, which are acceptable for use). Use the "|" (pipe) character between each parameter. Unused parameters may be deleted to avoid clutter in the edit window. Some samples on this documentation page may include the current date. If the date is not current, then the page.

Most commonly used parameters in horizontal format

{{cite AuDB |first= |last= |author-link= |title= |volume= |edition= |year= |id2= |access-date= }}

Most commonly used parameters in vertical format

{{cite AuDB | first = | last = | author-link = | title = | volume = | edition = | year = | id2 = | access-date = | ref = }}

Parameters

In August 2011 the ADB website moved and reorganized its structure. New references should use the id2 field instead of the id field. For any fields not listed here, see {{cite encyclopedia}} for documentation.
