This template facilitates the citation of articles from the Wikisource project Collier's New Encyclopedia in the manner of {{Cite encyclopedia}}.

{{Cite Collier's|title=Collier's article name|url=url}}

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

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 Collier's|wstitle=Monroe (Louisiana)|year=1921|display=Monroe, a city of Louisiana}}

displays as:

 "Monroe, a city of Louisiana" . Collier's New Encyclopedia. 1921. {{cite encyclopedia}}: Cite has empty unknown parameters: |HIDE_PARAMETER10=, |HIDE_PARAMETER4=, |HIDE_PARAMETER8=, |HIDE_PARAMETER6=, |HIDE_PARAMETER9=, |HIDE_PARAMETER1=, |HIDE_PARAMETER5=, |HIDE_PARAMETER7=, |HIDE_PARAMETER3=, and |HIDE_PARAMETER2= (help)
{{Cite Collier's|wstitle=Jackson, Andrew|noicon=x}}

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.
