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.
