Documentation for Template:R:Partridge New. [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 the first or section editions of the The New Partridge Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English and The Concise New Partridge Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English. For older editions, use {{R:Partridge}} (1937–1984).

Parameters[edit]

The template takes the following positional or named parameters:

  • |1= or |entry= – the entry in the Dictionary to be cited. If this parameter is omitted, the template uses the name of the Wiktionary entry.
  • |pos= – the part of speech of the entry. By default, the template italicizes the value assigned to the parameter. 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.
  • |2= or |volume= – the volume number of the Dictionary to be cited.
    • |volume=1 or |volume=2 – (when citing the first, unabridged edition).
    • |volume=concise, |volume=con, or |volume=c – to cite the Concise Dictionary.
  • |edition=1 or |edition=2 - it defaults to the first edition.
  • |3=, |page=, or |pages= – the page number(s) of the Dictionary on which the entry appears. Use |pages= if indicating a range of pages, and separate the first and last pages of the range with an en dash, like this: "110–111". Specifying page numbers is highly recommended to create a clickable link.
  • |4=, |text=, or |passage= – a passage quoted from the Dictionary.
  • |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.
