This template facilitates the citation of articles from editions of Encyclopedia Americana that are in the public domain using {{cite encyclopedia}}. The template can also be used to cite articles from editions that are not in the public domain. In these cases, the noicon parameter should be used to suppress the icon.

{{Cite Americana|wstitle=''name of the Americana article here''}}

or with a specification of additional options:

{{Cite Americana
|noicon=1 — suppress the leading icon
|inline=1 — changes the prescript and should be used when this template is used as an inline citation
|short=1  — suppresses some of the fields such as editor's name
|ref=harv — can be overridden (if you need to ask you do not need to change it)
|wstitle=Americana article — if the article is available on Wikisource 
|display=alternative name — displayed inplace of the wstitle name
|title=Americana article — if the article is not available on Wikisource
|url=  — will not be set unless the parameter title= is set
If not set, set in the template Cite Americana to default values
|encyclopedia= — "Encyclopedia Americana"
|editor-first= — defaults to "George Edwin"
|editor-last=  — defaults to "Rines"
|{encyclopedia= 
|year — defaults to 1920
If set pass in other standard parameters:
|first=
|first1=
|first2=
|last=

|author=
|author1=
|author2=
|authors=
|authorlink=
|coauthors=

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 Americana|wstitle=Monroe (Louisiana) |display=Monroe, La.}}

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.

This option is depreciated. Instead use {{Americana}} which does the same thing without the need for a vb=x parameter.

{{Cite Americana|wstitle=Schlatter, Michael|short=x}}

If another edition besides 1920 is being used, the editor name can be customized using editor-first and editor-last. If used, these two items will be displayed whether or not the short option is specified.
