Template:EB1911/doc

Usage

This template indicates that an article incorporates text from the Eleventh Edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica, which is now in the public domain.

Quick explanation (aide-mémoire)

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

Location	Parameters	Example	Note
==References==	{{1911|wikisource=EB name}}	Template:1911	Use wikisource=EB name if the article exists on Wikisource if not use title=EB name
==References==	{{1911|title=|url=|first=|last=|volume=|pages=}}	Template:1911	some additional information: title instead of wikisource, 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.
inline citation	{{1911|inline=1|wikisource=EB name}}	Template:1911	inline=1. Alters the prescript from "This article..." to "One or more...". Suitable for noting that a paragraph is copied from EB.
inline citation	{{1911|no-prescript=1|title=EB name}}	Template:1911	no-prescript=1. Removes the prescript suitable for a citation where a paragraph is a summary of a paragraph from an EB article and not a copy. title= for no copy on Wikisource.
==Further reading==	{{1911|no-prescript=1|url=http://...|title=EB name}}	Template:1911	no-prescript=1. Removes the prescript title= for the article name not yet on Wikisource. url= for where the text can be found online.
==External links==	{{1911|no-prescript=1|wikisource=EB name}}	Template:1911	no-prescript=1. Removes the prescript as the source is not used in the article.

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

Minimum is:{{1911|article=EB article name}} or {{1911|wikisource=EB article name}}

Full set is:{{1911|wikisource=|article=|no-prescript=|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.
wikisource=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-prescript=1	Suppresses the prescript.
