- Both {{cite EBD}} and {{EBD}} contain the parameters "wstitle" and "title" as options depending on whether the text is on Wikisource (copied text does not have to be on Wikisource to have been copied from an EBD article, and an EBD article on Wikisource may just have been used as an ordinary source to confirm a fact — hence the need for both parameters in both templates.
