Usage
editThis template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from Bret Harte's work Poems (1st edition, 1871). It can be used to create a link to an online version of the work (contents) at the Internet Archive.
Parameters
editThe template takes the following parameters:
|1=,|chapter=, or|poem=– mandatory: the name of the "chapter" or poem quoted from. If quoting from a poem indicated in the second column of the following table, give the parameter the value indicated in the first column:
| Parameter value | Result | First page number |
|---|---|---|
| San Francisco, from the Sea | San Francisco, from the Sea | page 7 |
| In Dialect | ||
| Chiquita | Chiquita (March 1870) | page 53 |
| Poems from 1860 to 1868 | ||
| Parodies | ||
|2=or|page=, or|pages=– mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) quoted from. 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=10–11. - 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 part of the work quoted from, and to 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=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.
