Template:R:Australian National Dictionary/documentation
Usage edit
This template may be used in the "References" and "Further reading" sections of entries and on talk pages to provide a citation to The Australian National Dictionary (1st edition, 1988). It can be used to create a link to an online version of the Dictionary, though it is currently not possible to link to a specific entry.
Parameters edit
The template takes the following parameters:
|1=or|entry=– the entry in the Dictionary cited. If not specified, the name of the Wiktionary entry is used.|part of speech=or|pos=– the part of speech of the entry. By default, the template italicizes the value assigned to the parameter and adds a full stop (period) to the end. To turn off the default formatting for the purpose of specifying a different formatting using wikitext markup and templates, for example:|part of speech=''n.''{{sup|1}}, specify|noformat=1or|noformat=yes: see the example below.|2=or|page=, or|pages=– the page number(s) of the print version of the Dictionary on which the entry appears. 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) of the print version of the Dictionary cited. When quoting a range of columns, separate the columns of the range with an en dash, like this:|columns=1–2.|3=,|text=, or|passage=– a passage quoted from the Dictionary.|nodot=– by default, the template adds a full stop (period) at the end of the citation. To suppress this punctuation, use|nodot=1or|nodot=yes.
