Using `display`

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:

{{AmCyc|wstitle=Monroe (Louisiana) |display=Monroe, La.}}

displays as:

This article incorporates text from a publication now in the

The American Cyclopædia

Using `short`

If a shorter citation is desired, containing the editor of the 1920 edition, the long option can be used. For example:

If another edition besides 1920 is being used, the editor name can be customized using editor-first and editor-last. If used, these two items will be displayed whether or not the long option is specified.
