| This is a documentation subpage for Template:Cite Appletons'. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
Contents
Purpose
This template enables the citation of articles from the Wikisource project Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography in the manner of {{cite encyclopaedia}}.
Usage
{{Cite Appletons'|put the name of the article here}}
or with a specification of the optional year, author or notaref parameters:
{{Cite Appletons'|put the name of the article here|year=year of publication|author=author name|notaref=x}}
Examples
{{|Cite Appletons'|Clay, Henry}}
displays as:
Wilson, J. G.; Fiske, J., eds. (1891). Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography. New York: D. Appleton. Missing or empty |title= (help)
and
{{Cite Appletons'|Clay, Henry}} A popular politician in the formative years of the United States.
displays as:
Wilson, J. G.; Fiske, J., eds. (1891). Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography. New York: D. Appleton. Missing or empty |title= (help) A popular politician in the formative years of the United States.
Example using the author and year parameters:
{{Cite Appletons'|Clay, Henry|year=1900|author=[[Carl Schurz]]}}
displays as:
Carl Schurz (1900). Wilson, J. G.; Fiske, J. (eds.). Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography. New York: D. Appleton. Missing or empty |title= (help)
Notes
In the examples above, this template automatically adds the hidden category "Wikipedia articles incorporating text from Appleton's Cyclopedia" to the articles it is used in. The addition of this category can be eliminated by setting the parameter notaref to some value. For example,
{{Cite Appletons'|Blenker, Louis|notaref=x}}
will not insert the category, though there will be no noticable difference in the page. This would be appropriate when the citation is made for further information only, and thus the text of the Appleton's entry has not been used in the article it is cited in.
