This template can be used to provide a link to the ''[[Encyclopædia Britannica]]''{{'}}s article on a given subject.

== Usage ==
This template may only be used as an inline reference in an article on a related subject.

=== Parameters ===
Unnamed parameters:
:{{tlcw | Britannica | <var>ID</var>}}
:{{tlcw | Britannica | <var>ID</var> | <var>TITLE</var>}}
:{{tlcw | Britannica | <var>ID</var> | <var>TITLE</var> | <var>AUTHOR</var>}}

Named parameters:
:{{tlcw | Britannica | id{{=}}<var>ID</var>}}
:{{tlcw | Britannica | id{{=}}<var>ID</var> | title{{=}}<var>TITLE</var>}}
:{{tlcw | Britannica | id{{=}}<var>ID</var> | title{{=}}<var>TITLE</var> | author{{=}}<var>AUTHOR</var>}}

Combination:
:{{tlcw | Britannica | <var>ID</var> | author{{=}}<var>AUTHOR</var>}}

=== Finding the <var>ID</var> ===
<var>ID</var> is a numerical value given in the html source of the Britannica article in question. {{As of|December 2021}}, it can be seen at <code>"topicId":</code> around line 65 (or just use <code>Ctrl</code>+<code>F</code>, and type in "topicId"). Two ways of viewing the source code on a computer are as follows:

* Press <code>Ctrl</code>+<code>U</code> on your computer's keyboard.
* [[Right-click]] a blank part of the web page and select '''View page source''' from the [[pop-up menu]] that appears.
See for example [https://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000746.htm How to view the HTML source code of a web page] if you need help with this. The source of https://www.britannica.com/science/pancreas says <code>"topicId": 440971</code> so it would use:

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
{{Britannica|440971}}
</syntaxhighlight>

=== Resulting output ===
It produces a link with the URL https://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/440971/pancreas. It currently redirects to https://www.britannica.com/science/pancreas, but that URL may be less stable and cannot be produced by this template. When the template was originally made, Britannica.com included the ID in the normal URL.

<var>TITLE</var> provides an optional title for the link in place of the name of the Wikipedia article, in case the Britannica article has a different name for some reason (e.g. a Latin rather than a common name). For example, the Wikipedia article for the wild [[Narcissus (plant)|daffodil]] is titled "''[[Narcissus pseudonarcissus]]''", while Britannica uses [https://www.britannica.com/plant/daffodil "daffodil"] and says <code>"topicId": 149590</code> in the source. As such, the link would be formatted as follows:

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
{{Britannica|149590|daffodil}}
</syntaxhighlight>

result:
:{{Britannica|149590|daffodil}}

<var>AUTHOR</var> adds an optional author at the beginning of the output.

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
{{Britannica|440971|pancreas|Robert D. Utiger}}
</syntaxhighlight>

result:
:{{Britannica|440971|pancreas|Robert D. Utiger}}
