Purpose

This template enables the citation of articles from The New Student's Reference Work in the manner of {{cite encyclopedia}}. The article title can have a Wikisource link, an arbitrary external link, or no link.

Usage

{{Cite NSRW|wstitle=article title}}

or with a specification of the optional display, author, noicon, vb or volume parameters:

{{Cite NSRW|wstitle=article title|display=alternative title |author=name|noicon=x|vb=x|volume=number}}

or with a specification of a title not linked to Wikisource:

{{Cite NSRW|title=non-Wikisource article title|author=name |noicon=x|vb=x|volume=number|url=http...|accessdate=date}}</nowiki>

As an alternative to author=full name the parameters first=first names and last=last name can be used. The ref=refs parameter can also be set for use with {{harv}} family of templates. See {{cite encyclopedia}} for details about these standard parameters.

display option

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 NSRW|wstitle=Madeira (river)|display=Madeira, a river of South America}}

displays as:

 "Cite NSRW" . The New Student's Reference Work . Chicago: F. E. Compton and Co. 1914.
