Usage

This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from Arthur Conan Doyle's work The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (1st serialized edition published in The Strand Magazine, July 1891 – June 1892; and 1st collected edition, 14 October 1892). It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at the Internet Archive:

• 1st serialized edition published in The Strand Magazine:
  • Volume II (July–December 1891).
  • Volume III (January–June 1892).
• 1st collected edition (14 October 1892).

Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

• |volume= – mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the serialized edition, the volume number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, either |volume=II (1891) or |volume=III (1892).
• |section= – mandatory in some cases: in the collected edition, chapter I (“The Adventures of a Scandal in Bohemia”) is divided into three sections:

  • Section I: pages 1–13.
  • Section II: pages 13–24.
  • Section III: pages 24–28.

  • If quoting from pages 13 and 24, the template is unable to determine the section quoted from, as the pages contain two sections. Specify |section=I or |section=II for page 13, and |section=II or |section=III for page 24.
• |1= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: the page or range of pages quoted from. If quoting a range of pages, note the following:
  • Separate the first and last page number of the range with an en dash, like this: |pages=110–111.
  • 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 determine the chapter quoted from, and to link to the online version of the work. Below is a list of chapters.

• |column= or |columns= – if quoting from the serialized edition, the column number(s) quoted from, either |column=1 or |column=2. If quoting from both columns, either omit this parameter or separate the column numbers with an en dash, like this: |columns=1–2.
• |2=, |text=, or |passage= – the passage to be 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.
