Purpose
[edit]This template facilitates the citation of articles from Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography. It uses {{cite encyclopedia}} in its implementation. It provides for links to the Wikisource project Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography, but also links to other sources (for example Google Books), or no link at all can be used.
Usage
[edit]{{Cite Appletons'|wstitle=name of the article}}
- Other parameters
|noicon = 1 — remove the leading icon
|vb = 1 — if text is copied from an Appletons' article this parameter
adds a prescript for article attribution (see the Plagiarism guideline)
|inline = 1 — alter the prescript for use within inline citations.
Set defaults for some parameters |year = 1891 — unless wstitle is set (see below) then 1900 unless some other value is provided |encyclopedia = Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography — can be overwritten
Set default but do not display defaults if the short parameter is set |editor-first = J. G. — can be overwritten |editor-last = Wilson — can be overwritten |editor-link = James Grant Wilson — can be overwritten |editor2-first = J. — can be overwritten |editor2-last = Fiske — can be overwritten |editor2-link = John Fiske (philosopher) — can be overwritten |location = New York — can be overwritten |publisher = D. Appleton — can be overwritten
Title parameters and url. Either wstitle or title must be set |wstitle = — the article name on Wikisource |display = — if set will be displayed in place of the wstitle parameter value |title = — set if the article is not on Wikisource |url = — title must be set for url to be displayed
Allow up to two authors to be set |first = |last = |author = |authorlink =
|first2 = |last2 = |author2 = |authorlink2 =
|authors =
If required allow some other parameters to be set |volume = |page = |pages = |ref =
For more details on all these parameters (except: noicon, vb, inline and wstitle) see the {{cite encyclopedia}} documentation.

displays as:
Wilson, J. G.; Fiske, J., eds. (1900). . Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography. Vol. 5. New York: D. Appleton. pp. 134–135.
Using display
[edit]The mechanics of Wikisource will sometimes require that a link have disambiguation information which is not part of the original title. The display parameter allows this information to be hidden for the purpose of the citation. For example:
{{Cite Appletons'|wstitle=Brown, John (abolitionist)|year=1900|display=Brown, John, of Osawatomie, abolitionist}}
displays as:
Wilson, J. G.; Fiske, J., eds. (1900). . Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography. New York: D. Appleton.
Using title (no Wikisource link)
[edit]{{Cite Appletons'|title=Dana, Richard|year=1900}}
displays as:
Wilson, J. G.; Fiske, J., eds. (1900). "Dana, Richard". Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography. New York: D. Appleton.
When title is being used, url can be used to specify an external link. For example:
{{Cite Appletons'
|title=Dana, Richard
|year=1888
|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=o6coAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA68
}} At [[Google Books]].
displays as:

Using noicon
[edit]{{Cite Appletons'|wstitle=Kapp, Friedrich|year=1900|noicon=x}}
displays as:
Wilson, J. G.; Fiske, J., eds. (1900). "Kapp, Friedrich". Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography. New York: D. Appleton.
Using vb
[edit]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.
{{Cite Appletons'|wstitle=Pulaski, Kazimierz|year=1900|vb=x}}
displays as:
This article incorporates text from a publication now in the public domain: Wilson, J. G.; Fiske, J., eds. (1900). . Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography. New York: D. Appleton.
If vb but the citation is placed within a ref tag pair then inline can be used to modify the prescript:
{{Cite Appletons'|wstitle=Pulaski, Kazimierz|year=1900|vb=x|inline=x}}
displays as:
One or more of the preceding sentences incorporates text from a publication now in the public domain: Wilson, J. G.; Fiske, J., eds. (1900). . Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography. New York: D. Appleton.
The first is set if the parameter vb=x is set (or the template {{Appletons'}} is used), otherwise the second category is set unless the parameter notaref=x is set.
{{Cite Appletons'|wstitle=Blenker, Louis|notaref=x}}
will not insert a category, though there will be no noticeable difference in the page. Examples of situations where use of these parameters should be made:
vb=xis used to indicate that text has been copied verbatim from Appleton's Cyclopedia into a Wikipedia article.notaref=xcan be used when the template is placed in the "External links" section and so is providing additional information and is not being used as a citation to support information in the Wikipedia article.
