ଛାଞ୍ଚ:Cite EB1911/doc

Usage

This template indicates that an article incorporates information from the Eleventh Edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica, a work now in the public domain.

If the Wikipedia article incorporates a copy of text from (or close paraphrasing of) an article in the Eleventh Edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica, then use the template {{EB1911}} which prepends an attribution string to the citation (see the plagiarism guideline).

Error message

This template requires a title parameter: title= or wstitle= to associate the source of the text being used with a specific part of the massive encyclopaedia from which it is copied or paraphrased. 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.

Summary

The template can be placed in different locations and depending on the what it is required the parameters can be mixed and matched:

Parameters	Example	Note
{{Cite EB1911|wstitle=EB name}}	Chisholm, Hugh, ed. (1911). "Alfred the Great" . Encyclopædia Britannica Eleventh Edition (11th ed.). Cambridge University Press.	Use wstitle=EB name if the article exists on Wikisource if not use title=EB name .
{{Cite EB1911|title=|url=|first=|last=|volume=|pages=}}	Plummer, Charles (1911). "Alfred the Great". In Chisholm, Hugh (ed.). Encyclopædia Britannica Eleventh Edition. Vol. 1 (11th ed.). Cambridge University Press. pp. 582–584.	Some additional information: title instead of wstitle, url to the external page instead of link to Wikisource; the first and last names of the author of the article, the volume and page [number]s.

Detailed notes

This template is wrapper around {{cite encyclopedia}}. In its default mode it attributes text to an article from Eleventh Edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica.

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 hereafter in a separate table from the table of parameters passed into {{cite encyclopedia}}.

Minimum is: {{Cite EB1911 |title=EB article name}} or {{Cite EB1911 |wstitle=EB article name}}

Full set is: {{Cite EB1911 |wstitle= |display= |noicon= |short= |footnote= |author= |last= |first= |authorlink= |chapter= |title= |url= |accessdate= |volume= |page= |pages= |ref= |mode=}}

Additional parameters

Parameter	Note
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.
noicon=1	Suppresses the lead icon (useful with {{Wikisource-inline}}).
short=1	Suppresses publisher and editor display.
display=label for Wikisource link	If set, this text is used as a label when linking to EB article on Wikisource. It is useful for hiding disambiguation extensions, and should show the actual title in the printed EB.
