Documentation for Template:RQ:Callimachus Dodd Hymns. [edit]
This page contains usage information, categories, interwiki links and other content describing the template.

Usage

[edit]

This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote William Dodd's translation of Callimachus's works, entitled The Hymns of Callimachus (1st edition, 1755). It can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at the Internet Archive.

Parameters

[edit]

The template takes the following parameters:

  • |1=, |chapter=, or |title=mandatory: the "chapter" or title of the part of the work quoted from.
  • |section= – the section of the work quoted from, for example, |section=footnote.
  • |2= 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=110–111.
    • 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 parameter must be specified for the template to link to the online version of the work.
  • |line= or |lines= – the line number(s) quoted from. If quoting a range of line numbers, separate the first and last numbers of the range with an en dash, like this: |lines=10–11.
  • |3=, |text=, or |passage= – a passage quoted from the work.
  • |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.
