Usage edit

Parameters edit

The template takes the following parameters:

  • |1= or |volume=mandatory: the volume number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, from |volume=I to |volume=III.
  • |2= or |chapter=
    • In volume I, if quoting from the dedicatory epistle specify |chapter=Dedicatory Epistle, and if quoting from the note specify |chapter=Note.
    • If quoting from the main part of the work, specify the chapter number in uppercase Roman numerals. The chapter number starts from I in each volume.

In volume II chapter VIII is misnumbered as X; specify it as |chapter=VIII.

  • |3= or |page=, or |pages=mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) quoted from. If quoting from the introduction or the "Note by the Editor" in volume I, specify the page number(s) in lowercase Roman numerals. 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 or |pages=x–xi.
    • 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 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.
