Category:Articles incorporating DNB text without Wikisource reference

This category is added to any article that uses the DNB template without a parameter. When this template has no parameter, it does not link to the original DNB article at Wikisource. This category is a subcategory of: Category:Wikipedia articles incorporating text from the Dictionary of National Biography

The original use of this category was to clean up the historical use that in over 100 articles really did reference the Dictionary of National Biography. We fixed those, leaving this category empty. More recently (starting in about 2019) we are seeing a few inappropriate uses of the template in articles translated from the German Wikipedia, where a template of this name refers to the german national library. We use DNB-IDN for this here. This category is a good place to catch these.

Editors should not add this category to an article. The template will add the category to the article.
