Usage
editThis template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from William Faulkner's work Absalom, Absalom! (1st edition, 1936; and 1951 version). It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at the Internet Archive:
- 1st edition (1936) [not currently available online].
- 1951 version – this copy has missing pages; replace with a better copy if one becomes available.
Parameters
editThe template takes the following parameters:
|year=– mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the 1951 version, specify|year=1951. If this parameter is omitted, the template defaults to the 1st edition (1936).|chapter=– if quoting from the introduction by Harvey Breit (only in the 1951 version), chronology, or genealogy, specify|chapter=Introduction,|chapter=Chronology, or|chapter=Genealogyrespectively. As the chronology and genealogy are unpaginated, use|1=or|page=to specify the "page number" assigned by the Internet Archive to the URL of the webpage to be linked to. For example, if the URL ishttps://archive.org/details/dli.ernet.475592/page/n383/mode/1up, specify|page=383.|1=or|page=, or|pages=– mandatory: the page number(s) quoted from in Arabic or (in the 1951 version) lowercase Roman numerals, as the case may be. 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=10–11or|pages=x–xi. - You must also use
|pageref=to indicate the page to be linked to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears).
- Separate the first and last page number of the range with an en dash, like this:
- This parameter must be specified to have the template determine the chapter quoted from (the introduction in the 1951 version, or chapters I–IX), and to link to an online version of the work.
In the 1951 version, pages 12 and 13 are missing.
|2=,|text=, or|passage=– the passage to be quoted.|footer=– a comment on the passage quoted.|brackets=– use|brackets=onto 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.
