Note: 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
Quick explanation (aide-mémoire)
The template can be placed in different locations and, depending on what is required, the parameters can be mixed and matched:
Artikel ini memuat teks dari suatu penerbitan yang sekarang berada dalam ranah publik:Mershman, Francis (1912). "St. Theodotus of Ancyra". Dalam Herbermann, Charles (ed.). Catholic Encyclopedia. Vol.14. New York: Robert Appleton. hlm.579.;
some additional information: title instead of wstitle, url to the external page instead of link to wikisource; the first and last names of the author of the article, the volume and page [number].
inline=1. Alters the prescript from "This article..." to "One or more...". Suitable for noting that a paragraph is copied from CE.
inline citation
{{Catholic|prescript=|title=CE name}}
Herbermann, Charles, ed. (1913). "St. Theodotus of Ancyra". Catholic Encyclopedia. New York: Robert Appleton.;
prescript=. Removes the prescript suitable for a citation where a paragraph is a summary of a paragraph from an CE article and not a copy. title= for no copy on Wikisource.
no-icon=1 remove the lead icon, prescript= removes the prescript title= for the article name not yet on Wikisource. url= for where the text can be found online.
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|title=EB article name}} or {{Catholic|wstitle=EB article name}}[nb 1]
Full set is:{{Catholic|wstitle=|prescript=|no-icon|inline=|author=|last=|first=|authorlink=|authors=|title=|url=|accessdate=|volume=|page|pages}}
Additional parameters
Parameter
Note
author=author name
Assigned to last ignored if last is set.
wstitle=name of the article on wikisource
If set, set link to CE article on wikisource, and unsets title and url if they are also set.
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).
prescript can either be set to an alternative string of text (in which case add to the end of the string as a separator from the first word of the citation); or if set with no string it will remove prescript string from in front of the citation.
Set to wstitle= if set, if not to title=, if not set then left blank.
url=

Set to the value of url= unless wstitle= is set in which case it is not set.
accessdate=

If the volume parameter is set then
vol. set to 1 or 2 sets year to 1907
vol. set to 3 or 4 sets year to 1908
vol. set to 5 or 6 sets year to 1909
vol. set to 7, 8 or 9 sets year to 1910
vol. set to 10, 11 or 12 sets year to 1911
vol. set to 13, 14 or 15 sets year to 1912
if volume is not set the default is 1913 but setting the year parameter to some other value overrides the automatic settings.

Hidden categories
This template includes a hidden category as several hidden sub categories:
{{Cite Catholic Encyclopedia}} for use when a Catholic Encyclopedia article is cited, but the text is not copied into the Wikipedia article.
{{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 Wikipeda article contains some text copied from somewhere in the 15-volumes of the [Old] Catholic Encyclopedia!
