Introduction Introduction (by William Cooke Taylor)
As the epistle dedicatorie, preface, and "To the Reader" in the 1st edition are unpaginated, use |2= or |page= to specify the "page number" assigned by Google Books to the URL of the webpage to be linked to. For example, if the URL is https://books.google.com/books?id=ashjAAAAcAAJ&pg=PP11, specify |page=11. (The other chapters in the 1st edition are also unpaginated, but the template is able to determine the URL.)
  • |1= or |book=mandatory: if quoting from the main part of the work, the book number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, from |book=I to |book=XXIV.
  • |footnote= – if quoting from a footnote in the 1843 version, use this parameter to specify the footnote letter, like this: |footnote=a.
  • |2= or |page=, or |pages=mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) quoted from in Arabic or lowercase Roman numerals, as the case may be. If quoting a range of pages, note the following:
    • Separate the first and last page number of the range with an en dash, like this: |pages=10–11 or |pages=x–xi.
    • You must also use |pageref= to indicate the page to be linked to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears).
This parameter must be specified to have the template link to the online version of the work.
  • |3=, |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.
