Usage edit

This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote an article from The New York Times. It can be used to create a link to an online version of the article at the New York Times website or, preferably, a version of it archived at the Internet Archive.

Parameters edit

The template takes the following parameters:

|1= or |author=, and |authorlink= – use |1= or |author= to specify the name of the author of the article, and |authorlink= the name of a Wikipedia article about the author. To add the names of coauthors, use |author2= to |author5=, and |authorlink2= to |authorlink5=.
|quotee= – the name of a person or other source quoted.
|2= or |title= – mandatory: the title of the article quoted.
|url=, |archiveurl=, and/or |archivedate= – mandatory in some cases:
- Where possible, use |archiveurl= to specify the URL of an online version of the article archived at the Internet Archive. (It is not necessary to use |archivedate=.)
- If the article is archived on another website, use |url= to specify the original URL, and |archiveurl= and |archivedate= to specify the archive URL and the date of archiving.

This parameter must be specified to have the template link to an online version of the work.

|section= – the name of the section of the newspaper quoted from, or the section number in Arabic numerals.
|3= or |date= – the date of the article quoted from.
|volume= and |issue= – the volume and issue number of the print version of the article quoted.
|page= or |pages= – the page number(s) of the print version of the article quoted. When quoting a range of pages, separate the first and last pages of the range with an en dash, like this: |pages=10–11.
|column= or |columns= – the column number(s) quoted from, either |column=1 or |column=2. If quoting from both columns, either omit this parameter or separate the column numbers with an en dash, like this: |columns=1–2.
|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.
