Usage[edit]

Shortcut:
{{R:AHD Idioms}}

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[edit]

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.
