Usage

This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay's work The Federalist: A Collection of Essays, Written in Favour of the New Constitution, commonly known as The Federalist Papers (1st edition, 1788, 2 volumes). It can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at Google Books (both volumes are in one file; archived at the Internet Archive).

Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

• |1= or |number= – mandatory: the paper number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals. For example, to quote from Federalist No. 51, specify |number=LI. This parameter determines the author of the paper according to Douglass Adair's analysis: see the English Wikipedia article "The Federalist Papers".
• |2= or |chapter= – the name of the "chapter" or paper quoted from. If quoting from the preface, specify |chapter=Preface. As this is unpaginated, use |3= or |page= to specify the "page number" assigned by Google Books to the URL of the webpage to be linked to. For example, if the URL is https://books.google.com/books?id=KtteAAAAcAAJ&pg=PP9, specify |page=9.
• |3= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) quoted from. 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 indicate the page to be linked to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears).

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

• |4=, |text=, or |passage= – the passage to be quoted.
• |footer= – a comment on the passage quoted.
• |brackets= – use |brackets=on to surround a quotation with brackets. This indicates that the quotation either contains a mere mention of a term (for example, “some people find the word manoeuvre hard to spell”) rather than an actual use of it (for example, “we need to manoeuvre carefully to avoid causing upset”), or does not provide an actual instance of a term but provides information about related terms.
