Usage
editThis template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from Vladimir Nabokov's work Pale Fire (1985); the 1st edition (New York, N.Y.: G[eorge] P[almer] Putnam’s Sons, 1962; →OCLC) is not currently available online. The template can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at the Internet Archive.
Parameters
editThe template takes the following parameters:
|canto=– mandatory in some cases: in most cases, the template is able to automatically determine the canto (1–4) quoted from based on the page number specified. However, if the page number is 19, 28, or 37, the canto number must be manually specified, from|canto=1to|canto=4.|1=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 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:
- You must specify this information to have the template determine which part of the work is quoted from, and to link to the online version of the work.
|line=or|lines=– the line number(s) quoted from. If quoting a range of line numbers, separate the first and last numbers of the range with an en dash, like this:|lines=10–11.|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.
