EB1911 links

• Title but no wstitle
• Main verification project page, with the table
• Main EB1911 project page

See the library for original EB volumes.

Other old-style markup

• {{Update-EB}}: someone needs to fix EB text
• {{Include-eb}}: basically sound, but could usefully have 1911 text added to it
• {{Ni-eb}} was deleted and has no redlinks in main space. It meant seriously deficient, and could be improved with a transfusion of 1911 text.

Section order

Header and footer order are here: MOS:ORDER.

Language templates

foo ({{lang-de|Fü}}) bar: foo (German: Fü) bar.
foo {{lang|de|Fü}} bar: foo Fü bar.
Fü ({{Language with name/for|de||foo}}) bar: Fü (German for 'foo') bar.

Diff helpers

Wikisource proofreading and usage

Transclusion

Worked example:

{{EB1911
 |volume    = 15
 |previous  = John, Don (of Austria)
 |next      = John of the Cross, St
 |wikipedia = John of Beverley
 |notes     = page 447
}}

<pages index="EB1911 - Volume 15.djvu" include="474" onlysection="John of Beverley, St"/>

{{smallrefs}}

[[Category:1911 Encyclopædia Britannica articles about foobar|Great Mother of the Gods]]

"include" can be replaced by "from/to". Consider the use of {{subst:EB1911set}}, and {{Page|djvufile/physpage|section=sectionA}}. Example:

{{subst:EB1911set
 |volume = 7 
 |previous= PreviousArticle
 |next= NextArticle
 |wikipedia = WPArticle
 |from=418
 |to=420
}}

Also see Bocland.

Editing notes

In page space, note the use of {{sc|Bookland}}, {{EB1911 Fine Print|text}}, and {{EB1911 article link|Folkland}}. Also remember {{EB1911 footer initials|Anna Carolina Paues|A. C. P.}} and {{EB1911 Article Link|display name|name of the article|nosc=yes}}. Headers should be like:

{{EB1911 Page Heading||Blantyre|Blasphemy|43}}

although the current code pre-loads this:

{{rh|{{x-larger|n}}|{{x-larger|{{uc|Foo{{—}}Bar}}}}|{{x-larger|n}}}}

Note to self: I changed straight quote to curly quote up to and including Dec 30, 2014 (1/193). After that, apostrophe as indicated on WS:MOS. Started review at vol 7 page 845 edited late December, got to 864. Need to continue then look at other ranges.

Images

First search for the image on commons. It may have been uploaded for other reasons. If not, make a screen capture to a PNG. The filename doesn't matter at this stage, but for the uploaded name use EB1911-<title> or EB1911-<title>-n (for the nth image). Use the "Image" tab in Page space, because this can be magnified without introducing aliasing artifacts.

Upload to Commons, and add acknowledgement to comments. Custom date is 1911 unless otherwise specified. Also find an image-specific category. After upload, edit to include {{PD-Britannica}} and {{PD-old-70-1923}}, which adds to [[Category:PD Britannica]] and [[Category:Images from Encyclopædia Britannica]]. Also include [[Category:Images from the 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica, volume <nn>]].

To use, include with [[Image:<filename>|thumb|left|<caption>]]. Insert that just before (after)? the first word that appears at the side of the image in the original. I forget how to make it not cause a paragraph break; for now, put it at the start of a para.
