Usage

This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from James Orchard Halliwell's work A Dictionary of Archaic and Provincial Words, Obsolete Phrases, Proverbs, and Ancient Customs, from the Fourteenth Century (1st edition, 1846–1847, 2 volumes). It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at Google Books:

• Volume I (A–I).
• Volume II (J–Z).

Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

• |1= or |entry= – the entry or headword in the work to be quoted from in uppercase letters. If this parameter is omitted, the template uses the name of the Wiktionary entry.
• |2= 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=110–111.
  • 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 create an automatic link to the online version of the work.

• |column= or |columns= – the column number(s) to be quoted from in Arabic numerals, either |column=1 or |column=2. When referring to a passage that spans both columns, use an en dash like this: |columns=1–2.
• |3= or |passage= – a passage to be quoted from the work.
• |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.

Examples

• Wikitext:
  • {{RQ:Halliwell Dictionary|page=785|column=1|passage='''SPIT'''. (1) The depth a spade goes in digging, about a foot.|brackets=on}} (when used in the entry spit); or
  • {{RQ:Halliwell Dictionary|entry=SPIT|page=785|column=1|passage='''SPIT'''. (1) The depth a spade goes in digging, about a foot.|brackets=on}}; or
  • {{RQ:Halliwell Dictionary|SPIT|785|column=1|'''SPIT'''. (1) The depth a spade goes in digging, about a foot.|brackets=on}}
• Result:
  • [1847, James Orchard Halliwell, “SPIT”, in A Dictionary of Archaic and Provincial Words, Obsolete Phrases, Proverbs, and Ancient Customs, from the Fourteenth Century. […], volumes II (J–Z), London: John Russell Smith, […], →OCLC, page 785, column 1:
