Usage[jhyuk a̱tyin ka]
This template indicates that an article incorporates information from the Eleventh Edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica, a work now in the public domain.
If the Wikipedia article incorporates a copy of text from (or close paraphrasing of) an article in the Eleventh Edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica, then use the template {{EB1911}} which prepends an attribution string to the citation (see the plagiarism guideline).
Error message[jhyuk a̱tyin ka]
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 encyclopaedia 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]
Summary[jhyuk a̱tyin ka]
The template can be placed in different locations and depending on the what it is required the parameters can be mixed and matched:
| Parameters | Example | Note |
|---|---|---|
| {{Cite EB1911|wstitle=EB name}} | Chisholm, Hugh, ed. (1911). . Encyclopædia Britannica (in English) (11th ed.). Cambridge University Press. | Use wstitle=EB name if the article exists on Wikisource. If not use title=EB name . |
| {{Cite EB1911|title=|url=|first=|last=|volume=|pages=}} | Plummer, Charles (1911). "Alfred the Great". In Chisholm, Hugh (ed.). Encyclopædia Britannica (in English). Vol. 1 (11th ed.). Cambridge University Press. pp. 582–584. | 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. |
Detailed notes[jhyuk a̱tyin ka]
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 hereafter in a separate table from the table of parameters passed into {{cite encyclopedia}}.

Notes[jhyuk a̱tyin ka]
- ↑ It is not much use to the reader to inform them that a Wikipedia article contains some text supported by a citation 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.
