Template:Catholic Encyclopedia
Note: 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[change source]
Wikisource[change source]
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)[change source]
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| References | {{Catholic Encyclopedia|wstitle=CE name}}
|
 This article incorporates text from a publication now in the public domain: . Catholic Encyclopedia. New York: Robert Appleton Company. 1913.
|
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=}}
|
 This article incorporates text from a publication now in the public domain: "St. Theodotus of Ancyra". Catholic Encyclopedia. New York: Robert Appleton Company. 1912.
|
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.
|
| Inline citation | {{Catholic Encyclopedia|inline=1|wstitle=CE name}}
|
One or more of the preceding sentences incorporates text from a publication now in the public domain: . Catholic Encyclopedia. New York: Robert Appleton Company. 1913.
|
|inline=1 alters the prescript from "This article..." to "One or more...". Suitable for noting that a paragraph is copied from CE.
|
| Inline citation | {{Catholic Encyclopedia|prescript=|title=CE name}}
|
"St. Theodotus of Ancyra". Catholic Encyclopedia. New York: Robert Appleton Company. 1913.
|
|prescript= removes the prescript suitable for a citation where a paragraph is a summary of a paragraph from an CE article and not a copy. |title= for no copy on Wikisource.
|
| Further reading | {{Catholic Encyclopedia|no-icon=1|prescript=|url=http://...|title=CE name}}
|
"St. Theodotus of Ancyra". Catholic Encyclopedia. New York: Robert Appleton Company. 1913.
|
|no-icon=1 removes the lead icon, |prescript= removes the prescript |title= for the article name not yet on Wikisource. |url= for where the text can be found online.
|
| External links | {{Catholic Encyclopedia|no-icon=1|prescript=|wstitle=CE name}}
|
. Catholic Encyclopedia. New York: Robert Appleton Company. 1913.
|
|no-icon=1 removes the lead icon, |prescript= removes the prescript as the source is not used in the article.

Detailed notes[change source]
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=|accessdate=|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. |

Hidden categories[change source]
This template includes a hidden category as several hidden sub categories:
See also[change source]
- 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[change source]
- ↑ 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!
