Template:R:DCHP/documentation

Usage

This template may be used in "References" and "Further reading" sections of Wiktionary entries, and on talk pages, to provide a citation to A Dictionary of Canadianisms on Historical Principles (1st edition, 1967; 1st online edition, 2013; and 2nd edition, 2017). It can be used to link to online versions of the works:

• 1st edition (1967; from the Internet Archive).
• 1st online edition (2013).
• 2nd edition (2017).

Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

• |edition= – mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the 1st edition (1967) specify |edition=1st, and if quoting from the 1st online edition (2013) specify |edition=online. If this parameter is omitted, the template defaults to the 2nd edition (2017).
• |1=, |chapter=, or |entry= – the "chapter" or entry cited. If the parameter is not specified, the template uses the name of the Wiktionary entry.
• |2=, |pos= or |part of speech= – mandatory in some cases: the part of speech of the entry. By default, the template italicizes the value assigned to the parameter and adds a full stop (period) to the end. To turn off the default formatting for the purpose of specifying a different formatting using wikitext markup and templates, specify |noformat=1 or |noformat=yes: see the example below. If quoting from the 1st online edition, this parameter must be specified to have the template link to the online version of the work.
• |url= – if the default URL is not linking to the correct webpage in the Dictionary, use this parameter to indicate the URL of the webpage to be linked to.
• |page= or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the 1st edition, the page number(s) quoted from. If quoting a range of pages, note the following:
  • Separate the first and last page number 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.

• |column= or |columns= – if quoting from the 1st edition, the column number(s) quoted from, either |column=1 or |column=2. If quoting from both columns, either omit this parameter or separate the column numbers with an en dash, like this: |columns=1–2.
• |3=, |text=, or |passage= – the passage to be quoted.
• |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.
