Usage

This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from George Orwell's work Nineteen Eighty-Four (1st edition, 1949). As this edition is not currently available online, the template can be used to link to an online version of a 2001 edition of the work available at the Internet Archive.

Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

• |1= or |chapter= – the chapter number quoted from in Arabic numerals. The work is divided into three parts, and the chapter number starts from 1 in each part.
• |2= 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).

You must specify this information to have the template determine the part of the work quoted from (part 1–3), and to link to the online version of the work.

• |3=, |text=, or |passage= – the passage quoted from the work.
• |footer= – a comment on the passage quoted.
• |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.
