{{Cite DGRBM|author=|title=|volume=|page=|url=|short=}}

This template should be placed on the main page of the article.

There are six optional parameters:

  • author= refers to the author of the respective entry.
    • In place of author= the parameters first= and last= can be used.
    • The author abbreviation (without periods and spaces) can be used. E.g., "AA" will yield "Alexander Allen". Unsigned articles in the Dictionary are by William Smith (WS) himself.
