=== Usage ===
Add the following to the "External links" section of an article:
<pre>
* {{Britannica|<page id>|<optional title>}}
</pre>
<code><page id></code> is the numerical value given in the URL of the Britannica article in question. For instance, the [http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/440971/pancreas article for "pancreas"] (<code>http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/440971/pancreas</code>) would use:
<pre>
* {{Britannica|440971}}
</pre>
There's no need to include the text after the numerical value (<code>/pancreas</code> in this case).
<code><optional title></code> provides an optional title for the link in place of the name of the Wikipedia article, in case the Britannica article has a different name for some reason (i.e. a Latin rather than a common name): For example, the Wikipedia article for the common Daffodil is titled [[Narcissus pseudonarcissus]], while Britannica uses [http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/149590/daffodil Daffodil (plant)]. As such, the link would be formatted as follows:
