Usage edit

This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote Walter Scott's work Old Mortality, first published in Tales of My Landlord (1st series, 1st edition, 1816, 4 volumes). It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at Google Books:

Parameters edit

The template takes the following parameters:

  • |1= or |volume= – mandatory: the volume number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, either |volume=II, |volume=III, or |volume=IV.
  • |2= or |chapter= – the chapter number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals. The chapter numbers restart from I in each volume.
  • |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=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 link to the online version of the work.
  • |4=, |text=, 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.
  • |termlang= – this template adds entries to "Category:English terms with quotations". To use the template in Scots entries, specify |termlang=sco which will then cause the entries to be added to "Category:Scots terms with quotations".
