Template:EB1911/doc
 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:EB1911. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
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}}.[nb 1]
Minimum is:{{1911|article=EB article name}} or {{1911|wikisource=EB article name}}[nb 2]
Full set is:{{1911|wikisource=|article=|no-prescript=|no-icon|inline=|footnote=|author=|last=|first=|authorlink=|coauthors=|title=|url=|accessdate=|volume=|page|pages}}
| 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-icon=1 | Suppresses the lead icon (useful with {{Wikisource-inline}}). |
| no-prescript=1 | Suppresses the prescript.[nb 3] |

Hidden categories
This template adds the hidden category "Wikipedia articles incorporating text from the 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica" to the articles it is used in.
Depending on the parameters used it also adds the following hidden categories:
- Category:Wikipedia articles incorporating text from the 1911 Encyclopaedia Britannica with Wikisource reference
- Category:Wikipedia articles incorporating text from the 1911 Encyclopaedia Britannica without Wikisource reference
- Category:Wikipedia articles incorporating text from the 1911 Encyclopaedia Britannica with no article parameter
See also
- Wikipedia:1911 Encyclopaedia Britannica – for information on usage of the material.
- {{Wikisource1911Enc}} ({{EB1911}} redirect) - similar in function to the standard {{wikisource}} but automatically handles the location of the article.
- {{1911 POV}} - for articles with potential POV issues related to using information from the 1911 Encyclopaedia Britannica
Notes
- ↑ For backwards compatibility with {{Wikisource1911Enc citation}} and {{1911EB}}, this template takes two unnamed parameters the first the article name the second a comment but these are depreciated. They should not be used as the functionality may be removed in later versions of this template.
- ↑ 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!
- ↑ The prescript is also not displayed if an unnamed parameter is passed into the template for backwards comparability with {{Wikisource1911Enc citation}} and {{1911EB}}
