Template:Cite CAB/doc

Purpose

This template facilitates the citation of articles from The Cyclopædia of American Biography of 1918. It uses {{cite encyclopedia}} in its implementation. It provides for links to the Wikisource project The Cyclopædia of American Biography, but also links to other sources (for example Google Books), or no link at all can be used.

Usage

{{Cite CAB|wstitle=name of the article}}

or with a specification of the optional title, display, url, page, pages, oclc, noicon, long or vb parameters (see examples).

Using vb

If text is incorporated verbatim into an article, the vb parameter can be used to tack on a notice appropriate to the policy in Wikipedia:Plagiarism.

displays as:

 This article incorporates text from a publication now in the public domain: Homans, James E., ed. (1918). "Frasch, Herman" . The Cyclopædia of American Biography. New York: The Press Association Compilers, Inc.

Using short

The short parameter hides some of the default values (the default values for editors, location and publisher):

displays as:

 "Frasch, Herman" . The Cyclopædia of American Biography. 1918.
