Usage

This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from Edgar Wallace's work The Four Just Men (1st edition, 1905; and 1920 version). It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at the Internet Archive:

• 1st edition (1905).
• 1920 version – includes The Council of Justice, the 1st edition of which (London: Ward, Lock & Co., 1908; →OCLC) is not currently available online.

Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

• |year= – mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the 1920 version, specify |year=1920. If this parameter is omitted, the template defaults to the 1st edition (1905).
• |chapter= – if quoting from the 1920 version, the name of the chapter. If quoting from the 1st edition, specify the page number to have the template determine the name of the chapter.
• |1= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory: the page number(s) 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=10–11.
  • 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, in the 1st edition, the name of the chapter quoted from, and in the 1920 version, the part number (I or II) 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=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.
