Usage

This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote Henry James's work The American (serialization in The American Monthly, June 1876 – May 1877; and 1st collected edition, 5 May 1877). It can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at Google Books and the Internet Archive:

• Serialization in The American Monthly (June 1876 – May 1877):
  • Volume XXXVII (June 1876, chapters I–III).
  • Volume XXXVIII (July–December 1876, chapters IV–XVI).
  • Volume XXXIX (January–May 1877, chapters XVII–XXVI).
• 1st collected edition (5 May 1877; archived at the Internet Archive).

Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

• |volume= – to quote from the serialization, specify the volume of The Atlantic Monthly in uppercase Roman numerals: |volume=XXXVII, |volume=XXXVIII, or |volume=XXXIX.
• |chapter= – if quoting from a page and column of the serialization that contains two chapters, specify the chapter number in uppercase Roman numerals, as the template is unable to determine it.
• |1= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) quoted from. 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.
  • 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 number quoted from, and to link to the online version of the work.

• |column= or |columns= – if quoting from the serialization, the column number(s) to be quoted from in Arabic numerals, either |column=1 or |column=2. When referring to a passage that spans both columns, use an en dash like this: |columns=1–2.
• |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.
