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|wstitle=EB name}} | Template:1911 | Use wstitle=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 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. |
inline citation | {{1911|inline=1|wstitle=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|wstitle=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|title=EB article name}} or {{1911|wstitle=EB article name}}[nb 2][nb 3]
Full set is:{{1911|wstitle=|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. |
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.[nb 4] |

Hidden categories
This template adds the hidden category "Wikipedia articles incorporating text from the 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica" to the articles it is used in.
The template calls {{Cite EB1911}} and depending on the parameters used it also adds the following hidden categories:
- Category:Wikipedia articles incorporating a citation from the 1911 Encyclopaedia Britannica with an unnamed parameter
- Category:Wikipedia articles incorporating a citation from the 1911 Encyclopaedia Britannica with no article parameter
- Category:Wikipedia articles incorporating a citation from the 1911 Encyclopaedia Britannica with Wikisource reference
- Category:Wikipedia articles incorporating a citation from the 1911 Encyclopaedia Britannica without Wikisource reference
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!
- ↑ For backward compatibility,
wikisource
can be used instead ofwstitle
but the latter is preferred. - ↑ The prescript is also not displayed if an unnamed parameter is passed into the template for backwards comparability with {{Wikisource1911Enc citation}} and {{1911EB}}
