Purpose[change source]
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[change source]
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]

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[change source]
- ↑ 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!
