Purpose
This template facilitates the citation of articles from the 9th edition of Encyclopaedia Britannica. Links to Wikisource or external sources are provided for. {{cite encyclopedia}} is used for the implementation.
Usage
{{Cite EB9|wstitle=put the name of the article here|volume=number}}
or with a specification of additional options:

These parameters are not listed in {{cite encyclopedia}} and affect aspects of this template

|inline=1 — use to alter prescript for inline citations
|short=1 — don't display editors
|wstitle=name of the article — with automatic link to wikisource
