Usage
editThis template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from Robert Southey's work Wat Tyler. A Dramatic Poem. (1st edition, 1817), which was written in 1794 but not published at that time. It 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:
|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 the act (I–III) quoted from, and to link to the online version of the work.
|2=
,|text=
, or|passage=
– the passage to be quoted.|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.
