Usage edit

Shortcut:
{{R:Johnson}}

This template may be used in "References" and "Further reading" sections and on talk pages to format quotations from Samuel Johnson's work A Dictionary of the English Language (1st edition, 1755, 2 volumes). It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at the Internet Archive:

Parameters edit

The template takes the following parameters:

  • |1= or |entry= – the entry or headword in the work to be quoted from, which will be displayed in uppercase letters as in the work. To format the entry differently, specify |noformat=1 or |noformat=yes and use Wikitext to mark up the entry. If |entry= is omitted, the template uses the name of the Wiktionary entry. To generate a prime (′) which is used in entries to indicate the primary stress in a word, type a double quotation mark (").
  • |chapter= – if quoting from one of the parts of the work indicated in the second column of the table below, use |chapter= with the value indicated in the first column:
Parameter value Result
Preface Preface
History The History of the English Language
Grammar A Grammar of the English Tongue
  • |2= or |page= – mandatory in some cases: as the work is unpaginated, use this parameter to specify the "page number" assigned by the Internet Archive to the URL of the website to be linked to. For example, if the URL is https://archive.org/details/b30451541_0001/page/n62/mode/1up, specify |page=62. This parameter must be specified for the template to link to an online version of the work.
  • |volume= – in most cases, the template should be able to automatically determine whether volume I or II of the work is quoted from. However, if the template is not indicating this correctly (for example, if the entry is a verb that begins with the word To, such as |entry=To ABA′LIENATE), use |volume= to manually specify the volume number in uppercase Roman numerals, either |volume=I or |volume=II.
  • |column= or |columns= – the column number(s) to be cited in Arabic numerals, either |column=1 or |column=2. When referring to a passage that spans both columns, either omit this parameter or use an en dash like this: |columns=1–2.
  • |3=, |text=, or |passage= – a passage to be 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.

Examples edit

  • Wikitext:
    • {{R:Johnson Dictionary|entry={{smallcaps|A"nswerable}}|noformat=1|page=146|column=1|passage=[T]he argument, though ſubtle, is yet '''''anſwerable'''''.|nodot=1}}; or
    • {{R:Johnson Dictionary|{{smallcaps|A"nswerable}}|noformat=1|146|column=1|[T]he argument, though ſubtle, is yet '''''anſwerable'''''.|nodot=1}}
  • Result:
  • Wikitext:
    • {{R:Johnson Dictionary|entry={{smallcaps|Lexico"grapher}}|noformat=1|page=45|column=1|passage='''{{smallcaps|Lexico′grapher}}'''. {{...}} A writer of dictionaries; a harmleſs drudge, that buſies himſelf in tracing the original, and detailing the ſignification of words.|nodot=1}}
  • Result:
  • Wikitext: {{R:Johnson Dictionary|chapter=Preface|page=14|passage=And ſuch is the fate of hapleſs '''lexicography''', that not only darkneſs, but light, impedes and diſtreſſes it; things may be not only too little, but too much known, to be happily illuſtrated.|nodot=1}}
