This template is wrapper around {{
cite encyclopedia}} it can use all the parameters that {{
cite encyclopedia}} can use, but as documented below some of them are filled in automatically and there are also some additional parameters. As can be seen below in the example section using this template saves the editor time (as many of the parameters are filled in automatically) and as those parameters are not displayed in edit mode it reduces clutter editors see when editing which is particularly useful if the full citation appears in an inline citation within a ref...tag pair.
Usage
Parameters that are filled in by this template:

There are some none standard parameters:
wstitle= NBD article name as it appears on Wikisource — the template adds in the rest of the link automaticallydisplay= name — overrides the display to the screen ofwstitleortitle. This is sometimes desirable for example for hiding disambiguation extensions which do not appear in the original print version of he encyclopediashort= x (or any other value) — it hides the display offirst, last, link, location, publisherthis is typically used when this template appears in the External links section to remove clutter
Other considerations:
- If
wstitleis not set then the standard parametertitlemust be set if neither are then a red warning printed - Unless
