Parameters
[edit]The template takes the following parameters:
|edition=– mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the 1st American edition, specify|edition=US. If this parameter is omitted, the template defaults to the 1st (British) edition (1917).|part=and|partname=– if a short story is divided into parts, use|part=to specify the part number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, and|partname=the name of the part.|1=or|page=, or|pages=– mandatory: the page or range of pages quoted from in Arabic or lowercase Roman numerals, as the case may be. 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=10–11. - You must also use
|pageref=to indicate the page to be linked to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears).
- Separate the first and last page number of the range with an en dash, like this:
- This parameter must be specified to have the template determine the name of the chapter or short story quoted from, and to link to an online version of the work.
|2=,|text=, or|passage=– the passage to be quoted.|footer=– a comment on the passage quoted.|brackets=– use|brackets=onto 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.
