Parameters
There are many named parameters, one required ('year') and all the rest optional. The first three have positional (numeric) aliases (1, 2, 3). Normally, three or four parameters are sufficient to provide full verifiability for a footnote: year – year of publication; alias: 1; no default, parameter is required

volume – number of the volume; 1 to 29, or specify values or ; (alias: 2; no default)

article – name of the article from the encyclopedia; aliases:,,. (no default)

page – page number(s) of the article in the given volume (or, use: pages; no default)

Note that these two citation params are fixed and their values cannot be overridden; their values are: &#91;&#91;The New Encyclopædia Britannica&#93;&#93;

15

There are many other named parameters that are the same as those described in Template:Cite encyclopedia. Note that there is normally no reason to specify editor, as the template will choose the right name based on the value of param.

These additional named parameters are available, and are all optional. If specified, they wrap the corresponding parameter in cite encyclopedia. See the documentation at cite encyclopedia#Parameters for a description.

Shortened footnotes
If you are using shortened footnotes and adding numerous footnotes from different pages of the same volume, it may be most convenient to include the volume in the ref param, so you only have to specify the page number in the short footnotes: But if your short footnotes reference a number of different volumes, it may be more convenient to avoid specifying the volume in the main citation, and use the loc parameter of sfn to specify both volume and page at the same time: Note that since the default for ref if omitted is  plus the year, the ref param in the second case above could be left out entirely, and  alone would both generate the exact same full citation, as well as provide proper linkage for all the sfn templates in that example.
