සැකිල්ල:Cite EB9/doc

Purpose

This template facilitates the citation of articles from the 9th edition of Encyclopaedia Britannica. Links to Wikisource or external sources are provided for. {{cite encyclopedia}} is used for the implementation.

Usage

{{Cite EB9|wstitle=put the name of the article here|volume=number}}

or with a specification of additional options:

{{Cite EB9

These parameters are not listed in {{cite encyclopedia}} and affect aspects of this template
|noicon=1 — don't display leading icon
|vb=1     — display prescript attribution message (for use with copied text)
|inline=1 — use to alter prescript for inline citations
|short=1  — don't display editors
|wstitle=name of the article — with automatic link to wikisource
|display=name  — displays in place or the wstitle name

These parameters take the default values listed but can be overwritten:
|encyclopedia=Encyclopaedia Britannica
|edition=9th
|editor-first=T.S.
|editor-last=Baynes
|editor2-first=W.R.  — if volume is set between 11 and 24
|editor2-last=Smith  — if volume is set between 11 and 24

For these standard {{cite encyclopedia}} parameters
see the documentation attached to {{cite encyclopedia}}
|author= ... author3= — up to three authors 
|first=  ... first3= 
|last=   ... last3=
|title=
|url=
|volume=
|page=
|pages=
|ref=
|mode=

}}

Specifying the volume, results in a single year being displayed, which varies depending on the volume; otherwise the range 1875-1889 is displayed.

Examples

Simple

{{Cite EB9|wstitle=Arthropoda}}

displays as:

Baynes, T. S., ed (1875–1889). "Arthropoda". Encyclopædia Britannica (9th ed.). New York: Charles Scribner's Sons. 

Use of the volume parameter would allow the display of a particular volume and year (see example below).

With comment

{{Cite EB9|wstitle=Fillmore, Millard}} Thirteenth president of the United States of America.

displays as:

Baynes, T. S., ed (1875–1889). "Fillmore, Millard". Encyclopædia Britannica (9th ed.). New York: Charles Scribner's Sons.  Thirteenth president of the United States of America.

Using noicon

displays as:

Baynes, T. S., ed (1875–1889). "Fillmore, Millard". Encyclopædia Britannica (9th ed.). New York: Charles Scribner's Sons. 

Using vb

If text is incorporated verbatim into an article, the vb parameter can be used to tack on a notice appropriate to the policy in Wikipedia:Plagiarism.

{{Cite EB9|wstitle=Atom|volume=3|vb=x}}

displays as:

This article incorporates text from a publication now in the public domain: Baynes, T. S., ed (1878). "Atom". Encyclopædia Britannica. 3 (9th ed.). New York: Charles Scribner's Sons. 

Using title (no Wikisource link)

{{Cite EB9|title=Torquay|volume=23|page=451}}

displays as:

 Baynes, T. S.; Smith, W.R., eds (1888). "Torquay". Encyclopædia Britannica. 23 (9th ed.). New York: Charles Scribner's Sons. p. 451. 

When title is being used, url can be used to specify an external link.
