Usage edit

This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from Arthur Conan Doyle's work The White Company (1st US edition, 1891; 1st UK edition, 1891, 3 volumes). It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at Google Books and the Internet Archive:

1st US edition (1891).
1st UK edition (1891):
- Volume I (not currently available online).
- Volume II.
- Volume III.

Parameters edit

The template takes the following parameters:

1st UK edition (1891)

|edition= – mandatory: if quoting from the 1st UK edition, specify |edition=UK. If this parameter is omitted, the template defaults to the 1st US edition.
|volume= – mandatory: the volume number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, either |volume=II or |volume=III.

Both editions

|1= or |chapter= – the name of the chapter quoted from.
|2= 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=10–11.
- You must also use |pageref= to indicate the page to be linked to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears).

This parameter must be specified to have the template link to the online version of the work.

|3=, |text=, or |passage= – the passage to be quoted.
|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.
