Template:BLKO
Purpose[edit]
Template for web links to Biographisches Lexikon des Kaiserthums Oesterreich (BLKO) articles in German Wikisource, which contains more than 21,000 biographies of Austrian people. It wraps {{cite wikisource}}.
Error message[edit]
This template requires a title parameter: wstitle= to associate the source of the text being used with a specific part of the massive encyclopaedia that is being referenced. More information on these and other parameters are set out below. In the absence of a title parameter being supplied, the template will display the error message article name needed and set a category flagging that no article name has been given.[nb 1]
Usage[edit]
All field names must be in lowercase.
Minimum is: {{BLKO |wstitle=EB article name}}
Full set is: {{BLKO |wstitle= |noicon= |volume= |page= |pages= |year= }}
Additional named parameters (see the {{citation}} documentation for more details)
|postscript=defaults to the value in{{citation}}— it can be altered to another value |ref=defaults to Wurzbach, year — like the other parameters the default values can be overridden (which can be useful when used with{{harv}}templates (see more than one work in a year). |year=defaults to a value set by volume. — it can be altered to another value, which is sometimes useful in combination with the parameter and value ref=harv.

Usage notes[edit]
The template does not include an item bullet and so is easy to use in a footnote citation. In a list, the template should be preceded by an asterisk, as specified in the usage section above.
Notes[edit]
- ^ It is not much use to the reader to inform them that a Wikipedia article contains some text supported by a citation from somewhere in the 60-volumes of the Biographisches Lexikon des Kaiserthums Oesterreich!
