Usage edit

This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote James Boswell's work The Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides, with Samuel Johnson, LL.D. (1st edition, 1785). It can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at Google Books (archived at the Internet Archive).

Parameters edit

The template takes the following parameters:

|author= – the author of part of the work (for example, a letter) other than Boswell.
|quotee= – the name of a person quoted. If Johnson is quoted, specify |quotee=Johnson.
|chapter= – the name of the chapter quoted from. If quoting from "To Edmond Malone, Esq.", specify |chapter=Dedication.
|date= – the date of a part of the work (for example, a letter) in the format "7 March 1777" or "March 7, 1777".
|1= or |day=, and |2= or |month= – mandatory: the main part of the work is not divided into chapters, but into entries dated with a day and month in 1773. Use |1= or |day= (with "st", "nd", "rd", or "th" added) to specify the day, and |2= or |month= the month. The template will determine the day of the week.
|footnote= – if quoting from a footnote, use this parameter to specify the footnote symbol quoted from, like this: |footnote=*.
|3= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) quoted from in Arabic or lowercase Roman numerals, as the case may be. 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=10–11 or |pages=v–vi.
- 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 quoted from the work.
|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.
