Usage

[edit]

This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote James Cook and James King's work A Voyage to the Pacific Ocean. Undertaken, by the Command of His Majesty, for Making Discoveries in the Northern Hemisphere (1st edition, 1784, 3 volumes). It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at the Internet Archive:

Parameters

[edit]

The template takes the following parameters:

  • |1= or |volume=mandatory: the volume number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, from |volume=I to |volume=III.
  • |2= or |chapter= – the name of the chapter quoted from (for example, |chapter=Introduction), or the chapter number in uppercase Roman numerals which restarts from I in each book.
  • |3= or |page=, or |pages=mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) quoted from. If quoting from the introductory material in volume I, specify the page number(s) in lowercase Roman numerals. 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 or |pages=x–xi.
    • 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 book (I–VI) quoted from, and to link to an online version of the work.
  • |4=, |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.
