Documentation for Template:R:Bartlett Americanisms. [edit]
This page contains usage information, categories, interwiki links and other content describing the template.

Usage[edit]

This template may be used in "References" and "Further reading" sections, and on talk pages, to cite John Russell Bartlett's Dictionary of Americanisms: A Glossary of Words and Phrases usually Regarded as Peculiar to the United States (4th edition., 1877). It can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at the Internet Archive.

Parameters[edit]

The template takes the following optional parameters:

  • |1= or |entry= – the entry in the work to be cited. If this parameter is omitted, the template uses the name of the Wiktionary entry.
  • |2=, |page= or |pages= – the page number(s) of the work cited. 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 quoted from the work.
  • |nodot= – by default, the template adds a full stop (period) at the end of the citation. To suppress this punctuation, use |nodot=1 or |nodot=yes.
