Usage
[edit]This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from Arthur Conan Doyle's work A Scandal in Bohemia (1st edition, 1891), as it was first published in The Strand Magazine. 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=
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=61–62
. - 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 link to the online version of the work.
|column=
or|columns=
– the column number(s) quoted from. If quoting from both columns, either omit this parameter or specify|columns=1–2
, with an en dash between the numbers.|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.
