Usage

This template may be used in "References" and "Further reading" sections, and on talk pages, to cite editions of The American Heritage Dictionary of Idioms.

Parameters

The template takes the following positional or named parameters:

• |1= or |edition= – the edition of the Dictionary to be cited.
  • |edition=1 – for the first edition published 1997.
  • |edition=student – for the 2001 English language learner edition.
  • |edition=2 – for the second edition published 2013.
• |2= or |entry= – the entry in the Dictionary to be cited. If this parameter is omitted, the template uses the name of the Wiktionary entry.
• |3=, |page=, or |pages= – the page number(s) 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: |pages=10–11.
• |4= or |pageurl= – a link to the (first) page on which the entry appears. Meant for the second edition which has two Google Books entries ([1],[2]) with some pages viewable. If the entry is on one of those pages, provide a link to it using this parameter.
• |5=, |text=, or |passage= – a passage quoted from the Dictionary.
• |pageref= - the manually specified page to link to, used when a page does have a normal number, such as those in the preface.
• |column= or |columns= – the column number(s) on which the entry appears. Use |columns= if indicating a range of columns, and separate the first and last column numbers of the range with an en dash.
• |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.
