Detailed notes

edit

This template is wrapper around {{Cite EB1911}} which in turn is a wrapper around {{Cite encyclopedia}}. In its default mode it attributes text to an article from Eleventh Edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica. If attribution is not required (because the article is used as an information source, but not directly copied, or closely paraphrased) then use {{Cite EB1911}} instead of this template.

This template automatically sets some of the parameters passed into {{cite encyclopedia}} for example "publisher = Cambridge University Press". Over and above the standard parameter passed into {{cite encyclopedia}} there are some additional parameters and those are listed below in a separate table from the table of parameters passed into {{cite encyclopedia}}.

Minimum is:{{1911|title=EB article name}} or {{1911|wstitle=EB article name}}[nb 1][nb 2]

Full set is:{{1911|wstitle=|article=|no-prescript=|no-icon|inline=|footnote=|author=|last=|first=|authorlink=|coauthors=|title=|url=|accessdate=|volume=|page|pages}}

Additional parameters
Parameter Note
article=EB name If set is assigned to title. If title is set article is ignored.
author=author name Assigned to last ignored if last is set.
wstitle=name of the article on wikisource If set, set link to EB article on wikisource, and unsets title and url if they are also set.
footnote=1 or inline=1 Changes the default prescript from "This article" to "One or more of the preceding sentences". Useful for inline citations (see inline examples in the previous section).
no-icon=1 Suppresses the lead icon (useful with {{Wikisource-inline}}).
no-prescript=1 Suppresses the prescript.

Notes

edit
  1. ^ It will also work with no parameters, but that set a category flagging that no article name has been given, as it is not much use to the reader to inform them that a Wikipeda article contains some text copied from somewhere in the 29-volumes of the Eleventh Edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica!
  2. ^ For backward compatibility, wikisource can be used instead of wstitle but the latter is preferred.
