Usage

This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote the work of James Thomson (born 1834) entitled The City of Dreadful Night and Other Poems (1st collected edition, 1880). It can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at the Internet Archive.

Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

|1=, |chapter=, or |poem= – mandatory: the name of the "chapter" or poem quoted from. For some poems, the date when the poem was written is indicated after the name. For help with adding these dates to the template, leave a message on the talk page or at "Wiktionary:Grease pit".
|section=, |part=, and |stanza= – if a poem is subdivided, use these parameters to specify the subdivision quoted from. If |part= or |stanza= is used, specify the part or stanza number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals; the number will be preceded by the word "part" or "stanza".
|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=110–111.
- 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.

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