Usage edit

This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote Laurence Sterne's work The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman (1st edition, 1759–1767, 9 volumes). It can be used to create a link to online versions of the book at Google Books and the Internet Archive:

As the 1st editions of volumes I and II ([York: Printed by Ann Ward], 1759, →OCLC) are not available online, the template links to online versions of the 2nd (1st London) editions (1760).

Parameters edit

The template takes the following parameters:

  • |1= or |volume=mandatory: the volume number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, from |volume=I to |volume=IX.
  • |2= or |chapter= – the chapter number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals or, in a few cases, the name of the chapter. Note the following:
    • The chapter numbers start from I in each volume.
    • If quoting from the dedication in volume IX, specify |chapter=Dedication. As it is unpaginated, use |3= or |page= to specify the "page number" assigned by the Internet Archive to the URL of the webpage to be linked to. For example, if the URL is https://archive.org/details/lifeopinionsoftr09ster/page/n12/mode/1up, specify |page=12.
  • |3= 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 indicate the page to be linked to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears).
This parameter must be specified to have the template link to the online version of the work.
  • |4=, |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.
