Usage edit

This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from Edward Bulwer-Lytton's work Kenelm Chillingly: His Adventures and Opinions (1st and 2nd editions, 1873, 3 volumes); volume I of the 1st edition is not currently available online. The template can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at the Internet Archive:

  • 1st edition (1873)
    • Volume I [not currently available online] (books I and II).
    • Volume II (books III–V).
    • Volume III (books VI–VIII).

Parameters edit

The template takes the following parameters:

  • |edition=mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the 2nd edition (1873), specify |edition=2nd. If this parameter is omitted the template defaults to the 1st edition (1873), except for volume I as the 1st edition is not currently available online.
  • |1= or |volume=mandatory: the volume number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, from |volume=I to |volume=III.
  • |2= or |chapter= – the chapter number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals. The chapter number starts from I in each book.
  • |3= or |page=, or |pages=mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) quoted from. When quoting a range of pages, note the following:
    • Separate the first and last pages of the range with an en dash, like this: |pages=10–11.
    • You must also use |pageref= to specify the page number that the template should link to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears).
You must specify this information to have the template determine the book (I–VIII) quoted from, and to link to an online version of the work.
  • |4=, |text=, or |passage= – the passage to be quoted.
  • |footer= – a comment on the passage quoted.
  • |brackets= – use |brackets=on to surround a quotation with brackets. This indicates that the quotation either contains a mere mention of a term (for example, "some people find the word manoeuvre hard to spell") rather than an actual use of it (for example, "we need to manoeuvre carefully to avoid causing upset"), or does not provide an actual instance of a term but provides information about related terms.
