Usage

This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote from an English translation of Maxim Gorky's work Бывшие люди (Former People, 1897) by J. K. M. Shirazi entitled Creatures that Once were Men (1st edition, 1905; and 1918 version). It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at the Internet Archive:

• 1st edition (1905).
• 1918 version – also contains other short stories.

Creatures that Once were Men (1918 version)

Short story	First page number
Creatures that Once were Men (1905)	page 13
Twenty-six Men and a Girl	page 104
Chelkash	page 125
My Fellow-traveller	page 178
On a Raft	page 229

Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

• |year= – mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the 1918 version, specify |year=1918. If this parameter is omitted, the template defaults to the 1st edition (1905).
• |part= – if quoting from "Creatures that Once were Men" in the 1918 version, in most cases if the page is specified the template can determine the part number (I or II) quoted from. It is unable to do so if page 53 is specified, in which case this parameter must be used to specify the part number in uppercase Roman numerals, either |part=I or |part=II.
• |1= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory: the page number(s) quoted from in Arabic or lowercase Roman numerals, as the case may be. 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=10–11 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 part number (I or II) of "Creatures that Once were Men", and in the 1918 version the name of the short story, quoted from; and to link to an online version of the work.

• |2=, |text=, or |passage= – a passage to be quoted from the work.
• |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.
