{{cite}} is actually part of {{citation}} not {{cite journal}} familty

New page

{{Documentation subpage}}

=== Purpose ===
This template facilitates the attribution of articles from editions of ''[[Encyclopedia Americana]]'' that are in the [[public domain]] using the template {{tlx|Cite Americana}} which in turn calls {{tlx|Cite encyclopedia}}.

=== Usage ===
<code><nowiki>{{Americana|wstitle=''name of the Americana article here''}}</nowiki></code>

or with a specification of additional options:
<pre><nowiki>{{</nowiki>Americana</pre>
|noicon=''1'' — suppress the leading icon
|inline=''1'' — changes the prescript and should be used when this template is used as an inline citation
|short=''1'' — suppresses some of the fields such as editor's name
|ref=''harv'' — can be overridden (if you need to ask you do not need to change it)
|wstitle=''Americana article'' — if the article is available on Wikisource
|display=''alternative name'' — displayed inplace of the wstitle name
|title=''Americana article'' — if the article is not available on Wikisource
|url= — will not be set unless the parameter ''title='' is set

If not set, set in the template Cite Americana to default values
|encyclopedia= — "''Encyclopedia Americana''"
|editor-first= — defaults to "''George Edwin''"
|editor-last= — defaults to "''Rines''"
|{encyclopedia=
|year — defaults to 1920

If set pass in other standard parameters:
|first=
|first1=
|first2=
|last=
|last1=
|last2=
|author=
|author1=
|author2=
|authors=
|authorlink=
|coauthors=
|volume=
|page=
|pages=
|separator=
|postscript=
<pre>}}</pre>

=== Examples ===
====Simple====
<code><nowiki>{{Americana|wstitle=Cogniet, Leon}}</nowiki></code>

displays as:

{{Americana|wstitle=Cogniet, Leon}}

====With comment====
<code><nowiki>{{Americana|wstitle=Cogniet, Leon}} A French history and portrait painter with many famous students.</nowiki></code>

displays as:

{{Americana|wstitle=Cogniet, Leon}} A French history and portrait painter with many famous students.

====Using <code>author</code>====
<code><nowiki>{{Americana|author=[[Wilbur L. Cross]] |wstitle=David Copperfield}}</nowiki></code>

displays as:

{{Americana|author=[[Wilbur L. Cross]] |wstitle=David Copperfield}}

====Using <code>volume</code>, <code>pages</code>, <code>page</code>====
These work as with other {{tl|cite journal}} family templates:

<code><nowiki>{{Americana |title=Pulte, Joseph Hippolyt |volume=22 |page=799 }}</nowiki></code>

displays as:

{{Americana |title=Pulte, Joseph Hippolyt |volume=22 |page=799 }}

====Using <code>display</code>====
The mechanics of Wikisource will sometimes require that a link have disambiguation information which is not part of the original title. The <code>display</code> parameter allows this information to be hidden for the purpose of the citation. For example:

<code><nowiki>{{Americana|wstitle=Monroe (Louisiana) |display=Monroe, La.}}</nowiki></code>

displays as:

{{Americana|wstitle=Monroe (Louisiana) |display=Monroe, La.}}

====Using <code>noicon</code>====
<code><nowiki>{{Americana|wstitle=Cogniet, Leon|noicon=x}}</nowiki></code>

displays as:

{{Americana|wstitle=Cogniet, Leon|noicon=x}}

====Using <code>title</code> (no Wikisource link)====
<code><nowiki>{{Americana |title=Sterne, Simon}}</nowiki></code>

displays as:

{{Americana |title=Sterne, Simon}}

When <code>title</code> is being used, <code>url</code> can be used to specify an external link. For example:

<pre><nowiki>
{{Americana
|title=Sterne, Simon
|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=cr9PAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA632
}} At [[Google Books]].
</nowiki></pre>

displays as:

{{Americana
|title=Sterne, Simon
|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=cr9PAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA632
}} At [[Google Books]].

====Using <code>short</code>====
If a shorter citation is desired, containing the editor of the 1920 edition, the <code>long</code> option can be used. For example:

<code><nowiki>{{Americana|wstitle=Schlatter, Michael|short=x}}</nowiki></code>

displays as:

{{Americana|wstitle=Schlatter, Michael|short=x}}

If another edition besides 1920 is being used, the editor name can be customized using <code>editor-first</code> and <code>editor-last</code>. If used, these two items will be displayed whether or not the <code>long</code> option is specified.

=== Hidden categories ===
This template places articles into a hidden category with sub-categories to aid maintenance:
*[[:Category:Wikipedia articles incorporating text from Encyclopedia Americana]]

=== See also ===
* {{tl|Cite Americana}} — Use for citations where the Americana text summarised but not copied
* {{tl|Americana Poster}} — Place in the external links area for topic relevant Americana articles that may be of interest but are not cited by Wikipedia.
