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 {{1911}} which prepends an attribution string to the citation (see the plagiarism guidline).

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). "Alfred the Great". Encyclopædia Britannica (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. Encyclopædia Britannica. 1 (11th ed.). Cambridge University Press. pp. 582–584. http://www.archive.org/stream/encyclopaediabri01chisrich#page/582/mode/1up.  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.

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 १]

Minimum is:{{Cite EB1911 |article=EB article name}} or {{Cite EB1911 |wstitle=EB article name}}[nb २]

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

Additional parameters
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.
no-icon=1 Suppresses the lead icon (useful with {{Wikisource-inline}}).

display=label for wikisource link If set, this text is used as a label when linking to EB article on wikisource

  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!
