Usage
This template indicates that an article incorporates text from the Eleventh Edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica, which is now in the public domain.
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 encyclopedia 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.[nb 1]
Quick explanation (aide-mémoire)
The template can be placed in different locations and depending on the use, the parameters can be mixed and matched:
| Location | Parameters | Example | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| ==References== | {{EB1911|wstitle=EB name}} | This article incorporates text from a publication now in the public domain: Script error: No such module "template wrapper". | Use wstitle=EB name if the article exists on Wikisource if not use title=EB name |
| ==References== | {{EB1911|title=|url=|first=|last=|volume=|pages=}} | This article incorporates text from a publication now in the public domain: Script error: No such module "template wrapper". | 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 | {{EB1911|inline=1|wstitle=EB name}} | One or more of the preceding sentences incorporates text from a publication now in the public domain: Script error: No such module "template wrapper". | inline=1. Alters the prescript from "This article..." to "One or more...". Suitable for noting that a paragraph is copied from EB. |
| inline citation | {{EB1911|noprescript=1|title=EB name}} | Script error: No such module "template wrapper". | noprescript=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== | {{EB1911|noprescript=1|url=http://...|title=EB name}} | Script error: No such module "template wrapper". | noprescript=1. Removes the prescript title= for the article name not yet on Wikisource. url= for where the text can be found online. |
| ==External links== | {{EB1911|noprescript=1|wstitle=EB name}} | Script error: No such module "template wrapper". | noprescript=1. Removes the prescript as the source is not used in the article. |
Detailed notes
This template is a wrapper around {{Cite EB1911}} which in turn is a wrapper around {{Cite encyclopedia}}. In its default mode it attributes text to an article from Eleventh Edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica. If attribution is not required (because the article is used as an information source, but not directly copied, or closely paraphrased) then use {{Cite EB1911}} instead of this template.
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:{{EB1911|title=EB article name}} or {{EB1911|wstitle=EB article name}}
Full set is:{{EB1911|wstitle= |title= |display= |noprescript= |noicon |inline= |author= |last= |first= |author-link= |chapter= |url= |access-date= |volume= |page= |pages= |ref= |mode=}}
| Parameter | Note |
|---|---|
| author=author name | Assigned to last ignored if last is set. This is a standard parameter. |
| 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. |
| display=label for Wikisource link | If set, this text is used as the display 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. |
| inline=1 or footnote=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). Footnote is deprecated and will be removed in later versions |
| noicon=1 | Suppresses the lead icon (useful with {{Wikisource-inline}}). |
| noprescript=1 | Suppresses the prescript. |
| Parameter | Set to | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| last= | author= or last= | If author= and last= are set the value of last= is used. Use last2= (etc) if there is more than one author. |

Tracking 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 parameters used, it also adds the following hidden categories:
See also
- Wikipedia:WikiProject Encyclopaedia Britannica—for information on usage of the material.
- {{Sect1911}} Attribute a section to EB 1911
- {{Cite EB1911}} Cite an EB 1911 article.
- {{EB1911 poster}} display an EB 1911 Wikisource article in a top box on the right
- {{Update-EB}} for articles with information from the 1911 Encyclopaedia that are outdated and require updates (for example information in geographical articles overemphasises railway links and ignores more recent forms of transport, and do not mention 100 years of political changes).
Notes
- ^ It is not much use to the reader to inform them that a Wikipedia article contains some text copied from somewhere in the 29 volumes of the Eleventh Edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica!
- ^ The parameter is provided because {{cite encyclopedia}} (the wrapper for this template) sets mode="cs1" (citation style 1) while the other standard template {{citation}} sets mode="cs2" (citation style 2). So the parameter mode can be set to cs2 to allow this template to emulate the look of {{citation}} if that is considered to be desirable.
