Template:Catholic Encyclopedia/doc
 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Catholic Encyclopedia. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
 | This template is used on approximately 5,100 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
- Note 1:
- The red "cite error" shown above in the template's text illustrates what happens when an editor does not remember to include the title. This error will appear when you click the button. Click the (help) link for more information. Similar errors will appear for other omissions.
- Note 2:
- Due to its public-domain status, the Catholic Encyclopedia can be incorporated into any work, including Wikipedia. When using the material two things should be considered :
- It was written in the first two decades of the Twentieth Century and many parts are dated
- It explicitly follows a Catholic point of view
Usage
[edit]Wikisource
[edit]The Catholic Encyclopedia is available on Wikisource at s:Catholic Encyclopedia (1913), and is integrated into this template.
To automatically generate a link to the cited article, use "wstitle=Name of Article".
Quick explanation (aide-mémoire)
[edit]The template can be placed in different locations and, depending on what is required, the parameters can be mixed and matched:
| Location | Parameters | Example | Notes |

|
 This article incorporates text from a publication now in the public domain: Herbermann, Charles, ed. (1913). "St. Theodotus of Ancyra". Catholic Encyclopedia. New York: Robert Appleton Company.
|
Use |wstitle=CE name if the article exists on Wikisource. If not, use |title=CE name
|
| References | {{Catholic Encyclopedia|title=|url=|first=|last=|volume=|page=}}
|

|
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.

Detailed notes
[edit]This template is wrapper around {{cite encyclopedia}}. In its default mode it attributes text to an article from the [Old] Catholic Encyclopedia.
This template automatically sets some of the parameters passed into {{cite encyclopedia}} for example "publisher = Robert Appleton Company". 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}}.
Minimum is: {{Catholic Encyclopedia|title=CE article name}} or {{Catholic Encyclopedia|wstitle=CE article name}}[nb 1]
Full set is:{{Catholic Encyclopedia|wstitle=|prescript=|no-icon=|inline=|author=|last=|first=|authorlink=|authors=|title=|url=|access-date=|volume=|page=|pages=}}
| Parameter | Note |
|---|---|
| author=author name | Assigned to last ignored if last is set. |
| wstitle=name of the article on wikisource | If set, set link to CE article on wikisource, and unsets title and url if they are also set. |
| inline=1 | Changes the default prescript from "This article" to "One or more of the preceding sentences". Useful for inline citations (see inline examples in the previous section). |
| no-icon=1 | Suppresses the lead icon (useful with {{Wikisource-inline}}). |
| prescript=alternative prescript | prescript can either be set to an alternative string of text (in which case add to the end of the string as a separator from the first word of the citation); or if set with no string it will remove prescript string from in front of the citation. |

[edit]- Category: Catholic Encyclopedia templates
- {{Cite Catholic Encyclopedia}} for use when a Catholic Encyclopedia article is cited, but the text is not copied into the Wikipedia article.
- {{Catholic Encyclopedia poster}} can be placed in the external links section when a Catholic Encyclopedia article has information relevant to the Wikipedia article but is not cited in the article.
Notes
[edit]- ^ 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 Wikipedia article contains some text copied from somewhere in the 15-volumes of the [Old] Catholic Encyclopedia!
