Usage

This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote Thomas Carlyle's work The Life of John Sterling (1st edition, 1851). It can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at the Internet Archive.

Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

• |author= – if quoting from a part of the work written by someone other than Carlyle, the name of the author. If the author is John Sterling, specify |author=Sterling.
• |1= or |chapter= – the name of the chapter quoted from.
• |date= – if quoting from a part of the work which is separately dated (for example, a letter), use |date= to specify it in the format 15 June 1839 or June 15, 1839.
• |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=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).

You must specify this information to have the template determine the part of the work (I or II) quoted from, and to link to the online version of the work.

• |3=, |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.
