Detailed notes

[edit]

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:{{Cite EB1911 |article=EB article name}} or {{Cite EB1911 |wstitle=EB article name}}[nb 2]

Full set is:{{Cite EB1911 |wstitle= |display= |article= |no-icon= |short= |footnote= |author= |last= |first= |authorlink= |coauthors= |title= |url= |accessdate= |volume= |page= |pages= |ref=}}

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ 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.
  2. ^ 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!
