Template:Catholic Encyclopedia
This article incorporates text from a publication now in the public domain: Herbermann, Charles, ed. (1913). "Title". Catholic Encyclopedia. New York: Robert Appleton Company.
 | This template is used on approximately 5,100 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
- Note 1:
- The red "cite error" shown above in the template's text illustrates what happens when an editor does not remember to include the title. This error will appear when you click the button. Click the (help) link for more information. Similar errors will appear for other omissions.
- Note 2:
- Due to its public-domain status, the Catholic Encyclopedia can be incorporated into any work, including Wikipedia. When using the material two things should be considered :
- It was written in the first two decades of the Twentieth Century and many parts are dated
- It explicitly follows a Catholic point of view
Usage

Detailed notes
This template is wrapper around {{cite encyclopedia}}. In its default mode it attributes text to an article from the [Old] Catholic Encyclopedia.
This template automatically sets some of the parameters passed into {{cite encyclopedia}} for example "publisher = Robert Appleton Company". Over and above the standard parameter passed into {{cite encyclopedia}} there are some additional parameters and those are listed below in a separate table from the table of parameters passed into {{cite encyclopedia}}.
Minimum is: {{Catholic Encyclopedia|title=CE article name}} or {{Catholic Encyclopedia|wstitle=CE article name}}[nb 1]
Full set is:{{Catholic Encyclopedia|wstitle=|prescript=|no-icon=|inline=|author=|last=|first=|authorlink=|authors=|title=|url=|access-date=|volume=|page=|pages=}}

| inline=1 | Changes the default prescript from "This article" to "One or more of the preceding sentences". Useful for inline citations (see inline examples in the previous section). |
| no-icon=1 | Suppresses the lead icon (useful with {{Wikisource-inline}}). |

- {{Catholic Encyclopedia poster}} can be placed in the external links section when a Catholic Encyclopedia article has information relevant to the Wikipedia article but is not cited in the article.
Notes
- ^ It will also work with no parameters, but that set a category flagging that no article name has been given, as it is not much use to the reader to inform them that a Wikipedia article contains some text copied from somewhere in the 15-volumes of the [Old] Catholic Encyclopedia!
