parameters

|noicon= – any assigned value hides the leading Wikisource or public domain icon

|wstitle= – when |noicon= does not have a value, the template renders with the leading Wikisource icon; default public domain icon else – not to be used on {{DNBIE}} which is not on Wikisource

|prescript= – overrides the template's default prescript text; the template's prescript text cannot be 'turned off'; to render the citation portion without prescript text, use the equivalent {{cite DNB}}, {{DNBSupp}}, {{DNB12}}, or {{DNBIE}} template
