Usage

This template may be used in "References" and "Further reading" sections, and on talk pages, to create a link to The Dictionary of the Scots Language (DSL).

Parameters

• |1= or |entry= – the name of the entry in the DSL. If this parameter is not stated, the name of the Wiktionary entry is used.
• |2=, |pos=, or |part of speech= – the part of speech of the entry. By default, the template italicizes the value assigned to the parameter and adds a full stop (period) to the end. To turn off the default formatting for the purpose of specifying a different formatting using wikitext markup and templates, specify |noformat=1 or |noformat=yes: see the example below.
• |3= or |url= – if the default URL is not linking to the correct webpage, use this parameter to indicate the URL of the DSL webpage to be linked to.
• |4=, |text=, or |passage= – a passage quoted from the DSL.
• |nodot= – by default, the template adds a full stop (period) at the end of the citation. To suppress this punctuation, use |nodot=1 or |nodot=yes.
• |q= or |quotes= – by default, headwords only. To search for words only in quotations, use |q=1 or |quotes=1.
• |f= or |fulltext= – by default, headwords only. To search for words in full text of entries, use |f=1 or |fulltext=1.

Examples

• Wikitext:
  • {{R:DSL|passage=A form of divination said to have been practised of old in the Highlands.|pos=n|nodot=yes}} (if used in the entry taghairm); or
  • {{R:DSL|entry=taghairm|pos=n|passage=A form of divination said to have been practised of old in the Highlands|nodot=yes}}; or
  • {{R:DSL|taghairm|n|A form of divination said to have been practised of old in the Highlands|nodot=yes}}
• Result: “taghairm, n.” in the Dictionary of the Scots Language, Edinburgh: Scottish Language Dictionaries: “A form of divination said to have been practised of old in the Highlands.”

• Wikitext: {{R:DSL|entry=fard, faird|pos=''n.''{{sup|1}}|noformat=yes|url=http://www.dsl.ac.uk/entry/dost/fard_n_1}}
• Result: “fard, faird, n.¹” in the Dictionary of the Scots Language, Edinburgh: Scottish Language Dictionaries.
