Template:R:Mrs Byrne's Dictionary/documentation

Usage

This template may be used in "References" and "Further reading" sections, and on talk pages, to cite Josefa Heifetz Byrne's book Mrs. Byrne's Dictionary of Unusual, Obscure and Preposterous Words: Gathered from Numerous and Diverse Authoritative Sources (1979).

Parameters

The template takes the following optional parameters:

• |1= or |entry= – the entry in the work to be cited. If this parameter is omitted, the template uses the name of the Wiktionary entry.
• |2=, |page= or |pages= – the page number(s) of the work cited. Use |pages= to specify a range of pages, separating the first and last page numbers of the range with an en dash like this: |pages=110–111.
• |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.
