Usage

These parameters take the default values listed but can be overwritten: |encyclopedia=Encyclopaedia Britannica |edition=9th |editor-first=T.S. |editor-last=Baynes |editor2-first=W.R. — if volume is set between 11 and 24 |editor2-last=Smith — if volume is set between 11 and 24

))
Specifying the volume, results in a single year being displayed, which varies depending on the volume; otherwise the range 1875-1889 is displayed.
