Usage
editThis template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote Samuel Foote's work The Orators (1762); the 1st edition published in the same year (London: Printed for J. Coote […] G[eorge] Kearsly […] and T[homas] Davies […], 1762; →OCLC) is not currently available online. The template can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at Google Books (archived at the Internet Archive).
Parameters
editThe template takes the following parameters:
|1=or|page=; or|pages=– mandatory: 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 specify the page number that the template should link to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears).
- Separate the first and last pages of the range with an en dash, like this:
- This parameter must be specified for the template to determine the act number (I–III) quoted from, and to link to the online version of the work.
| Act I pages 3–32 |
Act II pages 33–52 |
Act III pages 53–59 |
|2=,|text=, or|passage=– a passage quoted from the work.|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.
