Template:R:Brave New Words/documentation

Documentation for Template:R:Brave New Words. [edit]
This page contains usage information, categories, interwiki links and other content describing the template.

Usage edit

This template may be used in "References" and "Further reading" sections, and on talk pages, to cite Jeff Prucher, editor, Brave New Words: The Oxford Dictionary of Science Fiction (2007). An online version of the work is available for preview at Google Books; not all pages are freely viewable.

Parameters edit

The template takes the following optional parameters:

  • |1= or |entry= – the entry in the work to be cited. If this parameter is omitted, the template uses the name of the Wiktionary entry.
  • |pos= or |part of speech= – 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, specify |noformat=1 or |noformat=yes.
  • |2= or |page=, or |pages= – the page or range of pages cited. 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=110–111.
    • You must also use |pageref= to indicate the page to be linked to (usually the page on which the entry referenced appears).
  • |column= or |columns= – the column number(s) cited in Arabic numerals, either |column=1 or |column=2. If citing both columns, either omit this parameter or specify |columns=1–2, separating the column numbers with an en dash.
  • |3=, |text=, or |passage= – a passage quoted from the work.
  • |nodot= – by default, the template adds a full stop (period) at the end of the citation. To suppress this punctuation, use |nodot=1 or |nodot=yes.
