Usage

This template may be used in the "References" and "Further reading" sections of entries and on talk pages to provide a citation to E. Cobham Brewer's work Dictionary of Phrase and Fable (new edition, 1895, 2 volumes). It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at the Internet Archive:

• Volume I (pages 1–720; A–Labourer is Worthy of His Hire).
• Volume II (pages 721–1440; Labourers–Zulfagar; bibliographical appendix).

Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

• |1= or |entry= – the entry in the work cited. If not specified, the name of the Wiktionary entry is used.
• |2= or |page=, or |pages= – the page number(s) on which the entry appears. 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=10–11.
  • 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).

This information must be specified to have the template link to an online version of the work.

• |column=, or |columns= – the column number(s) of the work cited. If a passage cited spans both columns, either omit this parameter or separate the columns of the range with an en dash, like this: |columns=1–2.
• |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.
